Lets Go 'Bows Radio Interview - Kamaka Hepa

KTUH Online

While many athletes from all around the country come to Hawaii to compete for the University, not many of them come from such a remote and isolated location as Utqiagvik, Alaska. However, that’s exactly where rising UH Basketball star Kamaka Hepa is from. And while he certainly still calls Alaska his home, the transition to Hawaii certainly means a lot to him, having familial ties not only to Alaska, but to here in Hawaii as well. I had the pleasure to sit down with Kamaka to talk a little bit about his ancestral heritage, what basketball means to him, his time here at the University, and about his plans for the near future.
