Awesome!, Hawaii sports on the rise!
Ninety percent of these soccer players come from the ILH. Its very important for these higher institutions to mold and mentor our Hawaii athletes so that they can go on to have better careers and lives.
90%? Let me guess, you must be Education 2nds math teacher… Congratulations to these student athletes and all their achievements both on and off the feild.
