Division 1 Unversity Hawaii Warriors

Defeated UH-Hilo last week 76-65 at the Stan Sheriff Center and will face the BYU-H Seasiders Thursday night at 7.pm . The warriors are a very talented and extremely well coached team under the direction of Bob Nash and his staff who have a lot of big men and a roster of players who will blend in with #23 Roderick Flemings who was named an All American at his junior college,Sharp shooting Hirman Thompson and their big man from Brazil,Douglas Kurtz 7-0 who was looking forward to playing against Lucas Alves who is out with knee problems,They have a big lineup with Bill Amis 6-9,chinese player Xiang 6-10, Paul Campbell,6-10 and Petras Balocka 6-8 senior from Lituania a very tough player.I cant say who we will start as it changes from day to day, players coming down with the flu,2 were in the hospital this week and one had stomach surgery and still waiting for test results on the other guard.But that Life and you cant make excuses and to be the best-You have to play the best and I am sure our players will step up to the challenge and will carry on and learn from this contest as the Warriors tuneup for WAC play and upcoming opponent Southern Utah in the Rainbow classic. We return home Friday night for our Alumni game in the CAC at 7.30pm ,Enosa,Russell,Akana,Akina and a some more surprises as we start into our season. Keep up your great support-WE need it!
