Brooke Samura, a sophomore on the Hawaii Prep Ka Makani senior heavy team was quickly recognized as an impact player.

It’s evident that HPA’s sophomore sensation is something special after a season in which Ka Makani won the BIIF Division II Championship.

The league’s coaches voted Samura the Big Island Interscholastic Federation Division II player of the year.

Samura quickly won the respect of her teammate through her playmaking and court skills as well as her work ethic off court.

Samura made her varsity debut scoring 18 points against the Ka’u Trojans in a 56-7 win. That game put the league on notice.
