Their college careers maybe coming to an end, but it seems like just yesterday that Derrick Low and Bobby Nash were tearing it up as teammates on the court for Iolani School. During their time together, the duo combined for two state championships, the first of five in Iolani’s illustrious run, and were each named to the All-State First team in 2002 and 2003.
During the 2001-02 season, Nash (Jr.) and Low (So.) accounted for 28.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.1 steals per game for the Raiders who went on to defeat the Kalaheo Mustangs in the 2002 State finals.
Following that season, the pair was featured in a two-page article in the December 2002 publication of SLAM magazine. See it below…

Former University of Hawaii basketball standouts and Hawaii high school stars, Nani Cockett and Brittney Aiwohi, were the featured models on the cover of Midweek in their yearly swimsuit edition. Renowned photographer Russell Tanoue shot the photos in the areas surrounding the newly developed Waikiki Beach Walk Project.
Other models included former men’s basketball team members Lance Takaki and Oa McGee as well as volleyball players Sarah Mason, Lauren Duggins (Chun), Mellissa Villaroman and Ryan Woodward and football players Matt Wright and Jeff Rhode.
Derrick Low (Iolani ‘04) is featured in the May 2007 publication of SLAM Magazine under the heading “Picture Me Ballin” which lists three “Under-the-radar players who demand your attention”.
“Derrick Low, Washington State: The WSU Cougars are the shock of the Pac-10 with their 19-4 record as we go to press, and no one (besides perhaps their rising star of a coach, Tony Bennett) is responsible for that mark as this 6-1 junior guard out of Honolulu. Low puts up a team-high 15 ppg while serving as the go-to guy for the grind-it-out Cougs.”
He may not be the only one, but, technically Derrick Low (Iolani ‘04) is on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Can you find him?…
