4 commit to play football at Western Oregon

Four Hawaii high school football players committed to Western Oregon last week.

Running backs Kyle Beck of Nanakuli, Sy Cullen of Kamehameha, and John Dela Rama of Kapolei and defensive back Derek Mailau of Kailua committed to the NCAA Division II school.

Damien free safety Fehi Sevelo has committed to Division I-AA St. Francis (Pa.), where he has been offered a full scholarship. Kapolei offensive lineman Daniel Otineru has also been offered a full scholarship to St. Francis and plans to make a decision soon.

Pearl City wide receiver and defensive back Nathaniel Nasca has committed to play for Azusa Pacific (NAIA), where he has been offered a scholarship.

Nasca also plans to run track at the school. He won the Oahu Interscholastic Association West Division championship in the 100- and 200-meter runs and the 110-meter high hurdles last month.

Two air riflery standouts signed to compete for Nevada -- Krystle Sze of Sacred Hearts and Eric Okamoto of Saint Louis. Sze is a nationally ranked Junior Olympics shooter.

The Wolf Pack finished second at the NCAA Championships earlier this year.
