The Untold Story Behind Don Botelho’s Legendary Athletic Career and Mysterious Passing at 93
Gabriel was the starting quarterback when the Pac-Five team that Botelho coached won the Oahu Prep Bowl in 1985.
The Wolfpack — a team comprised of players from up to eight small Interscholastic League of Honolulu schools — also won the Prep Bowl in 1982.
The team was originally called the HUMMers … because the players came from Hawaii Baptist, University, Maryknoll and Mid-Pacific (where Botelho was the athletic director).
“I saw him as a father figure and he was a great role model, a mild-mannered guy but so competitive. He believed in me as a person,” Gabriel said. “People thought it was an advantage, drawing athletes from different schools. But that school spirit is a real thing that we didn’t have. And when you think about all the work it took to bring it together, that takes a special kind of coach.”
