Barrow basketball star Kamaka Hepa, the two-time Gatorade Player of the Year in Alaska, has moved to Portland, his high school coach said Thursday night.

Hepa, a 6-foot-9 sophomore, has enrolled at Jefferson High School, Barrow coach Jeremy Arnhart said.

"I don't know whether or not he will play there next season," Arnhart said. "Whatever he and his family decide to do, I support them 100 percent (whether) that's playing for the Whalers next season, or elsewhere."

Hepa, one of the nation's top college basketball prospects, helped lead Barrow to back-to-back Class 3A state championships during his first two seasons of high school basketball.

This season he averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.2 blocks and 2.8 assists per game heading into last month's state tournament. The 210-pounder boasts a soft outside shooting touch and good passing skills.

"From what I've seen, as far as video tape and a few workouts since he's been here, I think he's definitely a really good player – definitely one of the top in his 2018 class," Jefferson coach Pat Strickland told The Oregonian, which reported Hepa's move earlier on Thursday.

In two seasons with Barrow, Hepa chalked up more than 1,000 points and 500 rebounds.
