During Ta'a Tuinei's senior year at Skyline High School she gives birth to her son Tereinga only weeks before her last season as captain of the schools basketball team.
Her family, friends and teammates have helped her raise her son so Tuinei can play one last season. She hoped to attract scouts and land a college scholarship, for a better future for her son.
