    I love Keonilei sooooo much!!!! She's so talented and the fact she gets to tell her story makes her a warrior, a true inspiration. I'm so happy we get to see her play for Nebraska, the amount of love everyone has for her is amazing!

    Nebraska may not have won the championship but they definitely won us over with their hearts and drive. The back line with Akana, Knuckles and Rodrigues was incredible. They were on fire and so exciting to watch. After seeing this video, we appreciate Keonilei even more, as a person and as a player. Thank you for sharing her story.

    So many young athletes overcoming a lot in their young lives, but still fighting on. Determined to play their game. Great examples of the strength of our humanity.

    Hey my hometown, Hau'ula!
    My mom was a custodial worker at the local elementary school and she remembers Keonilei and her sister Braelyn very well.
    When she watches volleyball and sees them playing she always tells us "hey I remember those girls when they were little, they're so big now."

    XLNT story, very emotional! But, IMO....it's an Incomplete story coz they didn't interview her parents! THAT is where her competitive nature, tenacity & never say die attitude comes from! Imua, Keonilei/Braelyn...IMUA!
