HHSAA inducts 32nd class into Hall of Honor


 



Twelve outstanding senior student-athletes were inducted into the Hawai'i High School Athletic Association Hall of Honor at an Awards Dinner Sunday Evening at the Ala Moana Hotel.

The inductees were chosen by a 16-person selection committee of current and former sports reporters, athletic directors and coaches. Each of the inductees will receive a $2,000 scholarship courtesy of Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
