WHAT DOESN’T HE DO? Frankie DeCosta, shown here going
for contact for the K-Makule, has been everywhere doing everything during the
25th Annual State Senior Softball tournament. In addition to playing for
K-Makule (and submitting weekly senior softball stories during the regular
season), DeCosta was seen keeping score, announcing games, and according to
Ericka Rosa, might even sing a few numbers during the goodwill banquet at the
Wailua Marina Restaurant.
