This episode of HIKI NŌ is hosted by Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School in Lihue, Kauai.
TOP STORIES:
Waianae High School on Oahu brings us a story about concussions caused by sports injuries. Waianae High School varsity football player Chaz Bollig suffered a concussion when he landed on his neck while trying to catch a ball during a game. Chaz lost memory for an entire week after the incident and claims that he couldn’t speak during that period of time. He eventually recovered and returned to the field. The story goes on to mention that the Waianae High School athletic department enforces a seven-step “return to play protocol” after an athlete suffers a head trauma. The possible consequences of not following that protocol include long term memory loss and, in extreme cases, death.
On a lighter note, students from Wheeler Middle School in central Oahu show us how to successfully perform a kendama trick called “The Airplane.”
