"My most memorable moment was when I first played for the intermediate team. It was the first time I had a team that I connected with. My previous teams were just a bunch of teammates, but after becoming a part of an HBA team, I was able to form friendships that I will always cherish."
"I want to thank my dad for always pushing me to be my best and caring for me. During the season, off season, and even through injuries my dad has supported me and always gave me the encouragement I needed to get through whatever hardships I was facing. "

"My most memorable moment was when we went on our trip to Lānaʻi. I loved it because I was able to get to know the girls more and make memories not only playing basketball on the court but as well the laughter and fun activities we did off the court including ziplining, playing games and going to the beach. I am so grateful for the time we were there and I will always remember that trip!"
"I would like to thank all our coaches for challenging us to get better and for believing in us. I am also thankful for our teammates, for the encouragement they have given me and for challenging me to be the best that I can be. Lastly I want to thank my parents for going shooting with me and cheering me on in all of my games."

"Someone who I would like to thank for helping me grow as a basketball player is Coach Bryan. He's a coach at a club I play for and even though he hasn't been my coach for a long time he's done the most to cheer me on, help me get to my full potential, and supports in any way possible. He's an amazing coach and an even amazing cheerleader. Thank you Coach Bryan!"

"My most memorable moment was when I went on our pre-season basketball trip as well as winning the ILH D2 Championship and going to States during the 2022-2023 season as I got the chance to play with the upperclassmen in games who were very fun and supportive. Not only did I get to play, but I also was able to shine in my own way and play well. However, I believe that this year's Homecoming and Senior Night will be my most memorable moment from playing HBA basketball."
"IThere are many people I want to thank, but the first person that comes to my mind is my dad. I want to thank him for not only taking me to all my practices and games but also for taking the time to watch and record them all as well. He also helps me review my games and clips and has helped push me and teach me life lessons throughout my basketball career. He inspired me to work as hard as possible and maximize my potential. In addition, I want to also thank God for giving me the chance to play the past 11 years of basketball, and hopefully more in college."
