SBART Press Luncheon: Misa Paiau and Kiala Haas Receive Athlete of the Week Awards
Fall Sports Come to a Close and Winter Sports Begin
After leading Bishop Diego football to a quarterfinal victory over previously unbeaten El Modena running back/linebacker Misa Paiu received the SBART male athlete of the week award.
Paiua rushed for 114 yards on ten carries, intercepted a pass and blocked a field goal late in the fourth quarter in a 31-21 victory over El Modena.
“Misa is an example of a great student athlete. He is very humble, respectful towards everybody and he does very well in the classroom,” said Bishop Diego assistant coach Steve Robles. “On the offensive side he is in the {running back} rotation with Qu’Ran Gossett and they are like thunder and lightning. He is a strong runner. He’s a very good downhill runner. He catches the ball out of the backfield really well and is just a very gifted athlete.”
