Two weeks of prep football are in the books here on the Big Island, and while you can't put too much analysis into the results, some things still stand out.

For example, whenever a Division II football team is able to defeat a perennial Division I league champion on the road, you can't help but take notice. Kamehameha-Hawaii's 16-13 win over Kealakehe leads our list of storylines after Week 2:

1. The Warriors have a good chance to repeat as Division II Champions

After our debut post on ScoringLive.com, one reader said that we shouldn't have given the Waveriders as much credit as we did because their opponent last week, Kailua, was missing athletes due to academic probation (more on this later). What Oahu football fans need to understand is that Kealakehe has dominated the Division I scene here over most of the last decade, and that judging a neighbor island school should not be done based on ONLY state tournament results. The school has risen in population to surpass the older Konawaena High, and the domination over schools like Hilo and Waiakea has been noticeable in recent years.

With all of that said, very few teams have been able to say that they have been able to beat Kealakehe in recent years. Honoka'a, now in Division II, took the Division I title away from Kealakehe in 2009 and went to the state tournament. Hilo High hasn't beaten the Waveriders since Sam Papali'i coached the team in 2004.

On Saturday night, Kamehameha-Hawaii battled with Kealakehe in a back and forth affair featuring momentum changing turnovers, defensive pressure, and late game heroics, with the Warriors winning it on a Warner Shaw touchdown pass to Keoni Wong with 22 seconds left. The comeback win was another notch in the cap of the defending Division II champions, who have already knocked off Kauai High, and are favored to stay perfect against Kea'au this weekend.

Many "experts" have given the Division II title to Hawaii Prep before the season has even started. They cite the solid offensive line, led by Shane Brostek, and the defensive front seven that has held opponents scoring in check. However, with the team's biggest playmakers from last season in Nathaniel and Isaiah Adams graduated, people should give a serious look to Kamehameha-Hawaii to capture the Division II championship.

2. Can Fred Lau lead the Waiakea Warriors back to the top of Division I?

The easy answer to this question is "No," but that doesn't mean we can't expand this to the future.

I ask this question because the hiring of Coach Lau brought Waiakea fans a refreshed sense of optimism that they could compete for Division I Championship. Lau's success started back in 2009 when he led Honoka'a to their first ever state tournament appearance in Division I, which rejuvenated the optimism of Dragons fans.

While it is probably a longshot that this could happen this year, it isn't something to ignore in the future. We got a glimpse of this over the weekend when the Warriors hosted Maui High at Wong Stadium. Both teams knew very little about each other coming into the nonleague matchup, and both head coaches, including Maui coach David Bui, knew that they would need to make in-game adjustments in order to win the game. Coach Lau's squad made the best adjustments as the game went on to stop the Maui ground game, and those adjustments, coupled with the offensive asjustments to dial up more misdirection running plays, helped to cement his team's first victory of the year.

It's hard to see Waiakea winning a league championship this season when they are averaging less than nineteen yards passing per game, but the in-game work from their coaching staff, led by Lau, could make this team better prepared to win sooner rather than later.

3. Academic Probation Impacts Nonleague Games

For those of you looking for in-depth previews of schools across the state, you probably won't find it right away. That's because almost every team in the state is missing key players due to academic ineligibility.

Let's get the rules straight: Academic ineligibility is based on the fourth quarter grades from the prior school year for the first several weeks of the year. This has become a story because of some schools playing games with a severely shortened roster, projected starters at certain positions not playing, and junior varsity players being called up.

This should start to level off as we get into September and academic eligibility is based on this year's grades. Once these rosters start to fill out, we'll be able to give you a more accurate look into your favorite teams.

The only divisional league game this weekend is in Honoka'a, when the Dragons host the Ka'u Trojans on Saturday night. The game to watch will be in Kealakekua, when Konawaena hosts Hilo. The Vikings have lost their first two games to Division II opponents, and hope to avoid going winless into league play.
