There is no challenge that Austin Ewing isn't willing to face.

Most of the time, the Konawaena senior quarterback accomplishes his task.

Sometimes, he comes up short or runs out of time.

But one thing is for sure: He always gives his best effort no matter what the situation is.

The competitive spirit that Ewing possesses has done wonders throughout his high school career. The 6-foot-1 quarterback never gives up on any play and is always looking to make the best decision possible, even if he has to create that option himself.

Ewing's resume speaks for itself. He led the Wildcats to two state tournament semifinal appearances, was selected as an All-Hawaii Division II First Team quarterback in back-to-back seasons and has already thrown for 5,022 yards and 33 touchdowns before he takes the first snap of his senior year.
