Konawaena's Lia Galdeira and Punahou's DeForest Buckner -- two basketball standouts who also excelled in track and field and football, respectively -- highlight the 2012 Hawai'i High School Athletic Association Hall of Honor class.

The 12 outstanding senior student-athletes are:

* Galdeira, who was Honolulu Advertiser State Player of the Year as a freshman and helped the Wildcats win three basketball state championships capped off by state titles in the long jump and high jump last week.

* Buckner, a three-time All-State basketball player who also was an All-State defensive end in football.

* Dawnyelle Awa, Konawaena (basketball, volleyball)

* Shane Brostek, Hawai'i Prep (football, track and field)

* Keiki Carlos, Mid-Pacific (softball)

* Lorens Chan, 'Iolani (golf)

* Mindy Chow, Punahou (judo, wrestling)

* Kristine Felix, Baldwin (track and field)

* Benny Fonua, Kahuku (football, basketball)

* Misty Ma'a, Kamehameha (volleyball)

* Mysha Sataraka, Punahou (softball, basketball)

* Pasoni Tasini, Baldwin (football, basketball, track and field, volleyball)

The inductees were chosen by a 16-person selection committee of current and former sports reporters, athletic directors and coaches which met for two days and pored over more than 60 applications. The criteria was based primarily on athletic achievement but character, sportsmanship, academic record and community service also were considered.

Each of the inductees will receive a $2,000 scholarship courtesy of Enterprise Rent-A-Car and will be honored at the HHSAA Awards Dinner at 5 p.m. June 3 at the Sheraton Waikiki. For ticket information, call 587-4495.

The HHSAA Hall of Honor, formerly known as the Nissan Hall of Honor, has been recognizing the top 12 senior student-athletes in Hawai'i each year since 1983.
