St. Joseph High School senior Kainoa Keuma has made leaps and bounds since his first year with the school’s boys’ basketball team—and it shows.
The numbers don’t lie: The point guard averages about 14.5 points a game, according to head coach Tom Mott. He makes more than 40 percent of his shots from the 3-point line, and during eight games of this season, he’s scored more than 20 points.
Keuma is a big reason the Knights are doing so well this year, with a record of 19 wins and five losses as of Jan. 23.
“Kainoa is an incredibly hard worker and a joy to coach,” Mott said.
Although Keuma’s high school basketball career will soon be over, his coach said he has a great chance at playing college ball.
