Today, we lost a giant.
There was no greater friend to Hawai‘i and the Polynesian people than the legendary Coach JUNE JONES.
June was far more than a football coach. He was a visionary, a trailblazer, and a tireless champion for the people of Hawai‘i and Polynesia. His impact extended far beyond the football field, opening doors, changing lives, and inspiring generations of young Polynesian athletes to dream big.
His generosity, loyalty, and unwavering aloha were unmatched.
As a founding board member of the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame and one of the driving forces behind the creation of the adidas Polynesian Bowl, June played an instrumental role in celebrating Polynesian football excellence and creating opportunities for future generations.
His legacy will live on forever, not only through his remarkable accomplishments, but in the countless lives he touched, the opportunities he created, and the love he had for the Polynesian people.
Rest in aloha, Coach. You were truly one of a kind, and we will never forget you. 🤙🌴❤️
“He may not pass everyone’s eye test, but he passes the heart, character, and grind test every single day. Bet on the worker. Bet on the competitor. Bet on the kid who refuses to be outworked.”
We need yall to Help make this video to VIRAL!! 💻
We need more youth and especially athletes talking like this kid.
Finally we got a young man that’s not asking for no handouts!
PUSH THIS KID!!🎬 #HUSTLE
