Finally, he may only be an eighth-grader, but don’t be surprised if
you hear the name Chris Kobayashi in the years ahead. The Punahou
middle-schooler is a fleet-footed receiver in football, a sure-handed
setter in volleyball, and a scoring machine as a basketball guard.
Recently, in a big AAU tournament in Las Vegas where he played for coach
Tes Whitlock, Kobayashi had high scoring games of 44 points, 39 points
and 33 points (twice).
The neat thing about his story is that family friend Derrick Low came
to watch him play. Kobayashi has known the former Iolani superstar
since the age of 5. And like Low, who also was raising eyebrows with his
amazing scoring efforts back in junior high, Kobayashi “played up” by
competing in the 14-under and 15-under division as well as his 13-under
age group.
