Puna Boys Seeking State Championship

Puna Boys 14 looking to repeat as state canoe paddling champions
The Puna boys crew of Hapa Aki, Keola Sumera-Lee, Colby Nicolas, Kalae Ke III, Chance Agpoon and Lono Leasure-Lucas capped off their unblemished season by capturing the Moku O Hawaii Canoe Paddling championships held at Hilo Bay, July 18.
Four members on the island championship crew, Aki, Sumera-Lee, Ke III and Leasure-Lucas helped capture the boys 13 state championship last year and are experienced under pressure. The same four entered the boys 16 and were joined by Leasure-Lucas brother, Luke, along with Aimoku Johansen and another gold medal.
The state canoe paddling championships are scheduled for Saturday, August 1, at Hilo Bay starting at 8 a.m.
