Garcia retires after 20 years as Baldwin athletic director
Longtime Baldwin athletic director Jon Garcia has retired.
Garcia, 63, spent 34 years at the school, including 20 as AD. He also spent 23 seasons as basketball coach, molding the Bears into one of the state's most successful teams.
Former baseball coach Kahai Shishido is the interim AD.
Heading East
Punahou's versatile
Kaui Robello has signed to play at Siena College.
Siena, in New York, is a smaller school with big accolades. The Saints played in the NCAA volleyball tournament last season, where they were the first victim of eventual champion Washington.
"I feel super relieved. I have some place to go and I don't have to worry about finding a school. And I'm excited to leave," said Robello, who played just about every position for Punahou during her four years on varsity.
At Siena, she will focus on libero. She will also be a backup setter.
"I hope I can play right away, but I'll still work as hard as I can," said Robello, who has seen the Saints play.
"They have this really good outside hitter from Trinidad, and their setter was really good."
Two former Buffanblu, Kathi Kobayashi and Robin Beck, played last season.
"Kathi played back row and she dug everything," Robello said.
"They had a young team, a lot of sophomores and juniors. There were only two seniors."
Robello plans to major in child psychology or business.
NFL kids camp soon
The third annual NFL Junior Development Football Camp is around the corner.
Registration is accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis by the host, Moanalua High School's football program. Only 150 players will be accepted. The camp, June 12-17, is open to youths 12 to 14.
A medical waiver/physical exam is required.
"That's why we need the kids to get this done early, way before the camp starts," Moanalua coach Arnold Martinez said.
The waiver form is available at www.moanaluafootball.com.
For more information, call 368-7673.
