Keanini
Tamari Miyashiro has long been recognized as one of the O'ahu Interscholastic Association's top volleyball players.

Now, she officially has been recognized as one of the league's best basketball players, as well.

Miyashiro, a junior forward for Kalani, was named OIA East Division II Player of the Year in a vote of league coaches.

She averaged 12 points per game, including a 22-point performance in a victory over Kailua, and led the Falcons to a runner-up finish in Division II.

Miyashiro was a first-team Advertiser All-State selection in volleyball last season.

She is joined on the OIA East Division II All-Star first team by junior teammate Richline Batoon and three players from Roosevelt: juniors Chelsie Kadota and Nicole Yoshimoto and sophomore Tati Beasley.

Roosevelt's Bobby Keanini was named Coach of the Year. The Rough Riders were the only OIA team to defeat Kahuku.
