FOOTBALL, Coach Ulima Afoa
Kahoa Abreu has thrived on the football field, setting the all-time KSM receiving yards record as a junior with only a year and a half of football statistics. He has been a quiet leader, leading by example of his work ethic and production on the field. With a strong senior year, he will eclipse the 2000+ career receiving yards record and etch his name as one of the top receivers in the state.
Ramzee Fruean is the epitome of a team player and wears his heart on his sleeve. He is selfless and prides himself on earning everything and expects nothing in return. He is coachable, fearless in the trenches, and willing to do whatever it takes to help his team succeed.
