Prep Beat
An Internet report on a University of Washington fan site is claiming Chris Kemoe'atu of Kahuku has "soft committed" to the Huskies. Kemoe‘atu still undecided
But Kahuku coach Siuaki Livai and Kemoe'atu's sister, Pua, both told the Star-Bulletin yesterday that Kemoe'atu has made no commitment.
"He said he had a good visit," Pua Kemoe'atu said. "But I know for sure he has not committed."
The Star-Bulletin lineman of the year is also looking at Utah, Colorado, USC and Hawaii.
It was a memorable day for two varsity teams that won for the first time ever. Soccer
The Kapolei boys edged Waipahu, 2-1, on goals by Jason Leanio and Kerifiano Tuaniga, to win their first OIA game.
The St. Francis girls earned their first ILH victory with a 1-0 decision over Maryknoll. The game's only goal was an own goal.
