Marist Brothers High School head coach Antonio Raboiliku says the 2023 Coca-Cola Games is going to be tough, but the boys from Flagstaff are fired-up and ready for the challenge.
With two days to go before the start of the biggest secondary school’s athletics competition, he said Marist is focused and ready, and will be fielding a 72-strong squad.
Raboiliku said the team was in the final phase of training and in the process of polishing up everything they trained towards, as they go for gold this weekend.
“Changes in times for the games was hard on athletes because they were still catching up on their fitness; we also faced a lot of injuries and sickness in camp, it was not easy,” he said.
“The strength of the team is each individual member, the strength of each member is the team, win or lose as long as we are able to learn something and improve – that’s our focus.”
Without a doubt, the “red fire” squad will be egged on by the huge support from parents and ex-scholars, and especially the school management.
Marist has never gone into any game’s halfhearted, the boys from Kaunikuila will do what they do best – and that is to make the school proud.
