At least fourteen games involving Hawaii vs. mainland high school football teams are scheduled for this fall.
One of the top-drawer games is a rematch of national champion St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) vs. Kahuku at the Red Raiders’ home field on Sept. 16. A year ago, the Braves won in California, 34-7, against the eventual Hawaii Open Division state champion.
Mililani, which usually schedules at least one game against a mainland team, has no known mainland opponents at this time.
The following list of the 14 known Hawaii vs. mainland games is based on schedules released by HighSchoolFootballAmerica.com or MaxPreps.com.
