This file photo provided by The Oahuan, the yearbook of Punahou School, shows Barack Obama posing with his 1979 state basketball championship team for Punahou School. Identified as Barry Obama, he is in the back row, last player on the right. Others identified in the yearbook are: front row: Greg Ramos, manager; Chris McLachlin, head coach; Dan Moore, manager. Second row: Matt Hiu, Alan Lum, Tom Topolinski, Darin Mauerer, Dan Hale, John Kamana. Third row: Darryl Gabriel, Boy Eldredge, Greg Orme, Larry Tavares, Jason Oshima. On the sprawling campus of the prestigious Punahou School, Obama could often be seen carrying books in one hand and dribbling a basketball in the other. He eventually earned a spot on the heralded varsity team. "He'd be the first one to practice, and after practice, he'd go to the park and play more," said McLachlin, who is the father of PGA Tour golfer Parker McLachlin. "So his passion for the game is unmatched by most of the players I've ever had."
