The Sharpshooter of P-25

While Air Riflery may not be a sport that draws large cheering crowds, it is a sport that requires great concentration, mental focus, and practice, practice, practice. Furthermore, Air Riflery requires careful attention to critical safety procedures to protect both the participants and observers. Classroom P-25 has one of the most skilled marksmen at Kahuku High & Intermediate School, Mike Lin.
This past weekend (and on autumn many weekends), Mike helped Kahuku's Air Riflery team achieve a victory over Moanalua. While the match was close, what the final score of 1034 (Kahuku) to 1027 (Moanalua) doesn't reveal is that Kahuku beat Moanalua with a team nearly half the size of Moanalua's team. Mike Lin was a key player in Kahuku's win, shooting an individual score of well over 200. You can see more pictures of the match, and a few short video clips here. Congrats to Mike and the talented Kahuku team!

ELL Students Shine In and Out of Class

School has started once again and that means more than just getting back to class. For several ELL students at Kahuku, it also means the fall sports and activities season has also begun! Several students, including Tevita Vaifo'ou, To'oto'o Atimua, and Isilelei Aholelei bring their talent to the Varsity Football Team. In JV Football, Freshman Leka Aholelei debuted with a great showing in Kahuku's exhibition game against St.Louis.The football field is not the only place where Kahuku's ELL students shine, however. Sophomore Mike Lin shines on Kahuku's Air Riflery team. He also participates in Kahuku's JROTC program along with Senior Gordon Finau. Also look for Finau to patter out some sweet rhythms this fall with Kahuku's drum line.

Check back soon for more of the happenings of Kahuku's ELL department and its awesome students. And for more pictures of the JV and Varsity Football games against St.Louis click here.
