Miyashiro named Gatorade volleyball winner

Tamari Miyashiro, a senior setter/outside hitter for Kalani High, has been named the Gatorade State Volleyball Player of the Year for Hawaii.

The 5-foot-7 Miyashiro, an All-State selection the past three seasons, is one of 51 players eligible for the national honor. She has been the Oahu Interscholastic Association East Division Player of the Year in both volleyball and basketball, and she maintains a 3.55 grade-point average.

"Tamari's athletic ability, knowledge of the game and emotional maturity separate her from her competitors," said Kalani coach Aven Lee.

Miyashiro joins recent Hawaii selections Aneli Cubi-Otineru (Punahou, 2003), Tuli Peters (Kahuku, 2002) and Kanoe Kamana'o (Iolani, 2001) among others in the Gatorade Circle of Champions.
