J et Toner has an interesting nickname and a gifted right leg. Toner’s real first name is John, but he goes by Jet because those are the letters of his initials — John Edward Toner. The Punahou junior soccer striker did something on Saturday that he tried hard to avoid during football season, when he hit three long, pressure field goals in the postseason. Hitting the goalposts is not a good thing for a kicker in football, and if you […]
