Comments about ‘High school girls soccer: Alta's Kealia Ohai is Ms. Soccer 2009’

Ohai is the best soccer player in Utah History and is worhty of a SI Cover Girl!! Congrats Kealia

wow she is a DOLL!!!

Amazing i love it

Congrats Kealia this is so cool you have great things a head of you keep on trucking you have a great family to support you along the way

Shouldn't it be, "Miss Soccer?"

What an amazing athlete.

Would love to hear about her parents. I think her father was soccer coach when I went to Cottonwood. Did that have influence on their family being so amazing at soccer?

Hey Anon, Ms. is short for Miss genius
Also, her dad was at Cottonwood and is a former Pan-Am medal winner in wrestling (gold I think)

Anon, "Ms." is an ambigous title much like "Mr." It can be used to address all single, married, young, or old women.

There was a teacher at Cottonwood between 1995-1997 who had the same last name (Coach Ohai) that might be related to her.

Amazing group of athletes, NCAA All Americans, NCAA Champions,even Megan's boyfriend is one of the top rookies in the NFL.Then there is Kealia. When they are all together it looks like a scene from the 300.

It seems more and more these days, the club coaches discourage players from playing High School ball. Love to hear Ohai say that High School brings something special, better memories than playing at the highest level with the U-17's.

Her dad was the wrestling coach at Cottonwood High School. He was on the 1980 US Olympic wrestling team, and missed out on winning a medal because that was the year the US boycotted. Congrats Cuz! Your Ohana is very proud of you.

Every player should get the experiacne and joy of playing in high school, its the best time of your life. Club coaches that discourage high school play have no idea what they are asking a young person to do. If you saw the crowd at Rio Tinto and all the students that came out to support both teams that is a once in a lifetime memory. Now days with so many club players playing high school the competitive level has gone way up.

the quality of soccer in Utah has grown to a point where top players are being produced.Teams like Lone Peak, Brighton, Davis, Freemont, Alta, Bingham and other teams in other dividions have creatd a level of competition that has benifited players like Ohai. I have heard Kealia say she loves playing the really tough teams in the state, because it challenges her to be a better player.

As a former Utahn and a current NC resident and UNC alum, welcome to the Tarheel family! Anson is a great coach and person (I've known him for years through UNC and our ward), and his teams know how to win games. We'll benefit from having a great competitor like you at UNC...and you will love your time out here in the Southern Part of Heaven!
Look forward to seeing you tear it up at Fetzer next fall!

Well DOne...Kealia. Well deserved, I enjoy watching her play, she is an awesome player that shines bright and is a great leader on the field.

is Ben Ohai, not sure if he ever coached soccer but he is arguably the greatest wrestler in BYU's history taking second in the NCAA championships in 1973. He was also the head wrestling coach at Cottonwood for many years and also at Spanish Fork.

shes cute!

I just want to say i have had the pleasure to coach Kealia. I so happy for her and very proud of her accomplishments. It is great to see her and her sister Megan do so well. Utah is getting more recognition for the well trained and dedicated players..
