I had the pleasure of working out Amari during my visit to Hawaii visiting with my son Christian Parker. I was very impressed by how hard Amari works in every drills we did. I like his skills he’s definitely can play division I level and do well. Very coachable and has a great attitude. Good luck to you and your team this season. Coach Sonny

Is Amari related to the late US Army General William C. Westmoreland, Commanding General of American ground forces in the Vietnam conflict?

Way to go Amari! The family definitely has some bunnies! Please look into Doctor Zalenko’s protocol to keep you safe from covid.

We are proud of you Amari. From GA, TX and Colorado. Keep up the great job. You and your father worked really hard since the age of 5. You have an amazing support system inside and outside of Hawaii.

Proud of this kid. Kahuku, let alone Hawaii, not known for Basketball. Seemed like he could’ve increased his stock elsewhere but chose to stay home. Thank you Amari. This Vendiola family is well known for straight up mean football players. Actually straight up hard work and hustling. I know that backboard all too well. Love to the whole Ohana.
