Aloha,
As the third quarter draws to a close, Kalaheo High School is celebrating the boys’ basket-ball team victories in the OIA and the State Tournament. Coach Alika Smith and the tal-ented Mustangs brought the Division II championship banners to Kalaheo. 2001 marked the last time a State basketball championship was celebrated at our school. Our congratulations go out to our players and our coaches for their dedication to the game.
We thank all of the parents, school staff, students, Kalaheo Band, and Kalaheo alumni and fans for attending the games and supporting our athletes. School Spirit really helps keep the momentum high and is very much appreciated by the athletes!

The results of the tests serve as an indicator of school academic growth, so we hope to celebrate success in April. School success is not based upon a test, however.

Basically, it will be a big square, roughly 3 ft.x 3 ft. We will have around 35 tables.
We will also need parents to come to the Hyatt during the day to help set up the table decorations, etc. Apparently, much of the prom committee will be busy enhancing their beauty that day and will be unavailable.

STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition)
Two Kalaheo students, Senior Liz Montoya and Junior Amanda Sarabia, won the top gold medal for their STAR competition at the Hawaii CTSO State Convention held at the convention center in February, 2012. These two students will be among the 33 Hawaii student representatives who will compete in Orlando, Florida in July. They will be competing for national awards at the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) National Leadership Conference July 8-12, 2012.
Please support our efforts to raise funds for these students and their advisor to make this trip of a lifetime. Cash donations are possible, as FCCLA is a recognized 501(c)3 (ID#99-6012121). Checks can be made out to Linda Anahu, FCCLA Advisor and Kalaheo teacher.
Linda has been DECA instructor for many years (once called “Distributive Education”) but now known as FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders).

The following is a Blog article by Paul Honda Star-Advertiser, dated February 27, 2012 and filed under Basketball, Boys:
“New Gen Champs: Kalaheo not done quite yet” Forty wins and a state championship look better than good on the basketball resume. What can Kalaheo possibly do to top that next year? Coach Alika Smith’s squad went 40-6 overall this year, and long before it was news that the Mustangs were going to rock the Oahu Interscholas-tic Association, they were doing damage in offseason leagues.
Josh Ko, the Division II state tournament’s most outstanding player, was prolific in the summer and fall leagues while playing for his dad on a remarkable team called the “Force”. Shem Sukumaran was right there, learning all of Ko’s nuances as a passer and playmaker. Once the ‘Stangs—as it reads on Kalaheo’s home and away jerseys—took the floor together with 6’6” Nainoa Frank, 6’4” Jordyn Reindollar and 6-1 Derick Morgan, it was one of the most formidable starting fives in the is-lands. They went on to climb over D-1 programs in the OIA Red East, losing only to eventual D-1 state runner-up Kahuku during the regular season. So much for divisional designations, particularly for Kalaheo, which was stuck in D-11 despite a long history of championships under Smith’s father, the late (and legendary) Pete Smith.
But this team proved in December, with a win over then No. 1 Kamehameha, that it was a force to be reckoned with—pun intended. Through the playoffs and a loss to McKinley, then the run to OIA White and state titles, Kalaheo continued to morph from an offensively potent team to a lockdown bunch with a severe distaste for opposing scorers.
“All of us are capable of scoring, but defense is what really turned us around,” Ko said. Defense wins championships, as Kalaheo did with a 57-42 win over McKinley on Saturday. Morgan evolved and became a premier stopper, which he did by limiting McKinley’s Alex Ironside to 14 points on 2-for-10 shooting. “Derick had to shut down Ironside. Shem did it too when Derick was in foul trouble,” Ko said. Morgan’s even-keeled intensity works in his favor. “I listened to what coach said, I’ve always depended on my defense, to make sue my guy scores less than he usually does,” Morgan said, recalling a first-half shove from Ironside, who is normally mild-mannered and scoring in large numbers against most foes. “It felt good to know he was frustrated,” Morgan said. “I made sure I took away his left hand.” All that work landed Morgan a different role in the 2nd and 3rd quarters after he picked up three fouls. Smith moved Sukumaran into the role, and the 6-3 junior relished it. “I told coach and Derick, “I’ll guard him. Just tell me when you’re ready to take him back.’ He said, ‘4th quarter.’ I have (Ironside) a little too much space and he hit a 3 in my face,” Sukumaran said. “Derick is faster and better at on-ball defense.” Sukumaran’s older brother, Josiah, starred for ‘Iolani last year, helping the Raiders reach the state tourney. Shem has plenty of his brother’s versatility and agility as a defender. Working with Morgan to create a defensive reputation, though, has been a work of pure desire. “Alex is like the whole team. He’s deceptively quick with his stutter step and fakes. He can go off any time,” Sukumaran said, noting that the Tigers and Mustangs played four previous times. “The thing is, we both just take it as a challenge to get in a scorer’s head.” he said. “To make sure he has his worst game.” As insistent as they were defensively, the offense was more of a slow, churning fire that got hotter with time. The tempo worked in Kalaheo’s favor, all the better to save the legs of the seven players in Smith’s rotation—especially over a 46-game schedule. “ The (preseason) tourna-ments really helped us,” Ko said. “If it wasn’t for Coach Alika getting us into the tournaments, I don’t think our chemistry would’ve been as good. Coach said prac-tice doesn’t really give you game experience.” So how do they top this? With Frank—a Junior Olympic volleyball player—Ko, Morgan and Sukuma-ran all juniors, Kalaheo is an early favorite to contend for the OIA title, this time probably in the Red (D-1) Conference. The program’s JV team had a plus-.500 record, Ko noted, so the varsity is likely to move up and compete with the best teams like Punahou, Kamehameha and AOP,” Ko said. Morgan is already looking forward to a move up. “The Red has tough teams, but we’ll work hard in the offseason,” he said. “Our chemistry helps us a little more than most teams.” Sukumaran has yet to let go of that little edge, the one that drives him harder even after winning a D-II crown. “No one thought we’d be there. We were the underdogs.” he said. “If everyone gets better and we stay together, we could make a really good run next season. The chemistry is there.” So is the intensity, courtesy of Smith, a mild-mannered gentleman off the court, but sometimes fiery on it. Once his players knew that fire was all about commitment and trust in one another, they realized he was simply extracting their best effort. That made the post-game celebration on Saturday unique, to say the least. Sukumaran and Ko planned to jump on their coach after the buzzer, but Ko went another direction, toward Morgan. “Josh didn’t follow through. I jumped on coach and he didn’t let me go.” Sukumaran said. That was followed immediately by the team’s arm-in-arm huddle at midcourt, including the coaching staff. “Coach did it with us once in pregame before the semis.” Sukumaran said. Maybe there will be more midcourt celebrations for Smith and his ‘Stangs in the near future. After all, the force seems to be with them.
