@AlohaG: Now that you mention it, yeah, Kahi is a '94 grad. I had confused his senior year with the '92 year, when Kamehameha beat Hilo for the state title.AlohaG wrote:With the invention of the Internet, you are able to research and be pretty accurate.
Jessiya Villa, son of Kahi Villa 1994 graduate of Kam. This kid was the conference player of the year in WV, the only Junior named to the First Team All State in WV, and made the Iolani Classic All tournament team last year.
I watched him play against St. Louis last night, where he had 26 points. This kid was 360 dunking in warm ups. About 5'11" 180 all muscle. Was blowing by everybody. Easily the player of the game. Avea had two monster dunks and a few trash buckets. Hope he does more then that for them this season. Kesi is a beast! Savao didn't play. Won by about 10. Both teams look rusty from football, except for these two transfers. But make no mistake, they are fast, aggressive, very athletic, and seem to be very close to one another. I just went to see what all the hype was about. The gym was packed, every seat taken, I had to stand the whole game. I'll be watching Kalaheo next. Seems like Whitlock is doing well!! Aloha for now!!
OK, you said you watched Jessiya play against St Louis last night? Like Kamehameha, I think St Louis has two vars teams, I and II. ScoringLive had photos of Kalaheo beating St Louis by 5 last night. Now, Jessiya is with Kahuku, right? OK, I'm guessing that Kahuku played the St Louis II team. If that's the case, obviously we might not have an accurate benchmark for Kahuku's play. Kahuku would have to play St Louis I to have a better indication. Again, I'm assuming that Kahuku played St Louis II, while Kalaheo played St Louis I.
