Player of the Year: Jamieson Pabalan, Damien, Sr.

There was no limit on what Pabalan could do for the championship-winning Monarchs this season. The 5-foot-6 senior set the tone as Damien's ace in the rotation and leadoff hitter in the batting order. He also played multiple positions in the infield and outfield for a young Damien team that started four sophomores and one freshman. Pabalan batted .308 on the season and scored a run in all of the Monarchs' wins, which included a three RBI outing in their season-opening win over PAC-5 and scoring three runs in Damien's 6-5 state title win over Kauai. He also earned two wins on the mound in three straight days during the state tournament.

Coach of the Year: Skyler Tengan, Damien

Losing a number of starters to graduation and transfer did not stop Damien from repeating as the Division II state champion. After winning their season-opener, the Monarchs went on an 11-game losing streak playing an integrated schedule against the Division I teams in the ILH. However, Damien stayed the course and simply got better. The Monarchs (6-11) won their final five games of the year under Tengan, which included a 4-1 win over ILH Division I runner-up Saint Louis to close out league play. They then gutted out three wins in the state tournament despite getting outhit in the first round and semifinals.
