St. Louis School running back Pesefea Fiaseu is the Gatorade State High School Football Player of the Year for Hawaii, it was announced today.

In 11 Interscholastic League of Honolulu games, Fiaseu carried 153 times for 1,471 yards and 27 touchdowns.

In Friday's 2000 Chevron State Football Championship final, Fiaseu rushed 16 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns as Kahuku beat St. Louis, 26-20.

In addition to athletic performance, the award's criteria include the athlete's achievements in the classroom and contributions to the community.

Fiaseu, who maintains a 3.6 grade-point average, is the St. Louis student body president and is involved with the Life Program, a community Christian group.

"Pesefea is a well-deserving player for any award he receives," St. Louis coach Cal Lee said. "He is hard working and an all-around great person."
