Two-sport All-State athlete Ostrowski considers UH

By Wes Nakama
Advertiser Staff Writer

Punahou School senior Miah Ostrowski, a three-time Advertiser All-State guard in basketball and two-time All-State receiver in football, said last night his ideal option would be to play both sports in college, and the University of Hawai'i is the only place he would be willing to pull the double-duty.

After scoring 14 points, dishing out three assists, grabbing two rebounds and making one steal in a 69-57 loss to nationally ranked Montrose Christian (Rockville, Md.) last night, Ostrowski told The Advertiser that UH already has offered him a football scholarship, and he has received basketball offers from Montana State, Santa Clara and Texas State, among others.

When asked what sport he would prefer to play at the next level, Ostrowski said, "I want to play both football and basketball."

But, Ostrowski said, "If I play football, it would only be for UH."

He said he plans to make his decision before the official National Letter of Intent signing period begins in February, but for now he is "focused on getting back into basketball shape."

Ostrowski, 5 feet 9 and 170 pounds, does not have an official recruiting visit scheduled at UH.
