By Alexander Cobbs If you are a student of Saint Anthony’s you have definitely heard the last name Lolesio-Pua at least once around school. They are a popular family around Saint Anthonys well known for their talent in sports. From competing on the football field, to scoring points in volleyball, the Lolesio-Puas have been making their mark as Saint Anthony athletics. But the sport they are dominant the most in is none other than rugby. That’s right, if you thought they were dangerous tackling with pads on, just wait till you see them tackling without them.
This year, the Lolesio-Puas have led both the boys and girls rugby teams to successful seasons with the boys even being the runner-ups for the rugby championship. What makes it even more impressive is they are all not even seniors and will return to Saint Anthony’s next year as well. But this year is very exciting for the family as they have been selected to compete in the Austria games for Belmont Shore Rugby in June. Jasiah Lolesio-Pua is a sophomore here at Saint Anthony High School. He is most popular for his amazing tackling ability at his size. He may not be the biggest in the family, but he can slam athletes even twice his size on their backs like it is no problem at all. Nila Lolesio-Pua is only a freshman at SA, but she is no different from Jasiah when it comes to how dominant she is in Rugby. When she is on the field, all the other girls better watch out because Nila can tackle just like her brothers. Last but not least is the oldest sibling , Elijah Lolesio-Pua. He is an absolute unit on the Rugby field. Not only is he the leader of the Saint Anthony Team and one of the main scorers, but he also is the kicker. That’s right Elijah does everything and is the perfect role model for his younger siblings. Elijah is unable to compete with his siblings in Austria as he is too old for the competition, as a very successful player here at Saint Anthony’s there was no way not to include him in the family’s upcoming success. Austria better look out, because the Lolesio-Puas are coming, and they are coming to win!
