Good story Paul. I’m a Kailua guy so have watched him for a while but never knew about his academics so it’s great to hear he’s solid in school. Too many kids don’t understand the importance of getting your school work done until it’s too late.

I totally agree with you turfwar. I agree that too many kids don’t understand the importance of getting their school work done.

But, many parents also do not understand the importance of academics. It all starts with the infamous anywaays and his “merry” men.

What a great story. The kid started off slow, made self-assessment, and modified his study and work habit that culminated in a 4.0 GPA during his junior year. That is so great to hear.

It’s pretty clear that this kid’s focus is on academics and football is the icing on the cake. It’s too bad more kids don’t think or act like Sione.

Shut up! Who cares if he does not want to go to UH. It shows he has his sights on bigger and better things. Good luck in the future Toko.

So he likes pride rock, but then at the end says he wants a great education away from home. Very few big time players have any interest in UH as usual, sos. Well, he has had his five minutes of fame. I would like to hear more about local players that have their heart set on UH instead.
