Isaiah Stewart saved his best for last.
The 6-foot-9 senior had 24 points and 13 rebounds, plus two blocks in La Lumiere’s 72-58 win over Oak Ridge (Fla.) on Saturday night.
The Lakers’ rim protector is now the ‘Iolani Prep Classic most valuable player.
“It feels great. It’s hard work paying off,” Stewart said, holding the MVP trophy. “It’ll go in my room. On my shelf or something. Oh yes, thank God for everything. Thank the man upstairs for this. We’re working hard in the weight room at 5 a.m., and hard work pays off.”

They really water down the “All-Tourney Team” list every year by putting some players on who didn’t do much. For instance, how does someone from the 11th placed team that went 2-2 even get anyone on over players whose teams finished better?
I don’t see Everett Torres-Kahapea’s name but he’s right there in the middle of your picture.
Loca1boianonymous, that 11th place team player you are referring to had 2-20 point games for total of 66 in four games????
Deanster,
Are those 20-point games you speak of the ones that came against one of the weakest OIA teams in the field who finished12th place and a BIIF Division 2 team who finished 14th? I mean, heck, a Campbell kid averaged better than him and he had two 22-pt games (one against #1 Mt. Verde), and another 13 & 16-pt outing. He was left off the all-tournament.
There needs to be some context to who these kids are scoring 20+ games against. That’s why this state gives awards like the Gatorade to D2 players because all we people care about is how many 20+ pt games did a kid have regardless of who the competition was.
