Four more Kahuku seniors achieve

By Caryn Kunz

Last week, I attended the Nu'u Ministries' annual Lumana'i Awards Banquet, a scholarship program for Hawaii high school students of Samoan ancestry.

Last year, we had 2 Kahuku students win the award. This year, there were 4 Kahuku students and one area resident among the awardees. Way to go Ko'olauloa!

Kahuku's Galea'i flashed many skills

Helping bring basketball fever back to the island's most feverish football community, Kahuku senior Jray Galea'i led the Red Raiders to a perfect and thrilling O'ahu Interscholastic Association regular season.

For his efforts, he was named OIA Red Conference Eastern Division Player of the Year after a recent vote of league coaches.

Galea'i, a 6-foot guard, was an explosive force in the open court who also could pull up and drain the 3-pointer or penetrate and dish to teammates.

Roosevelt and Kahuku repeat

A state champion can carry the team only so far.

But behind an all-around team effort, championships are more than possible.

The Kahuku High School girls retained its team title at yesterday's 7-plus-hour O'ahu Interscholastic Association Eastern Division Track and Field Championships at Kaiser. The Red Raiders edged runner-up Kaiser, 131-116.
