The Untold Story Behind Don Botelho’s Legendary Athletic Career and Mysterious Passing at 93

Don Botelho, who made indelible marks on Hawaii sports for 60 years, died peacefully Saturday at a hospice facility, a person close to the family said.
Botelho was 93.
In 1955, Botelho played in one of the most storied University of Hawaii football games, and later, in the 1980s, coached the conglomerate Pac-Five team to two Oahu Prep Bowl championships.
His most lasting impact, though, might be in behind-the-scenes roles as leader of the state’s athletic directors and league administration. Botelho pushed forward the move to classification in Hawaii high school athletics, leveling the playing field in football and other sports.
