Versatile Galeai making a name for himself at Kahuku

Kahuku football player Jray Galeai gets the most out of his unique first name.

Instead of being named Ray Jr., after his father — one of the most superb athletes to come out of Kahuku — the "J" for junior was just tagged up front.

"He wanted to name me after him, but there's so many 'juniors' in the family, he didn't want to name me 'Junior,' " Galeai said of his father. "so he put 'J' initial and 'Ray' together to make Jray, so it's like Junior Ray."

But it's pronounced like Dr. Dre.

"That's one thing I get out of everybody out here is that it's unique," Galeai said.
