The HHSAA Hall of Honor announced its Class of 2023 inductees Monday.
This newest Hall of Honor class includes three athletes from Kahuku, all of whom played on the 2021 and 2022 Open state championship Red Raiders team.
Of the three, only one — linebacker Liona Lefau — played a single sport. The other two played four sports — Leonard Ah You (linebacker in football, basketball, volleyball and track and field) and Brock Fonoimoana (safety in football, basketball, volleyball and track and field).
The 12 2023 honorees — who will receive a $2,000 scholarship and be honored at a banquet June 4 at the Ala Moana Hotel — follow.
>> Milan Ah Yat, University High/Pac-Five (softball, volleyball, baseball)
>> Leonard Ah You, Kahuku (football, basketball, volleyball, track and field)
>> Elijah Dinkel, Kamehameha-Hawaii (soccer, football, track)
>> Brock Fonoimoana, Kahuku (football, basketball, volleyball, track and field)
>> Taryn Irimata, Campbell (softball)
>> Liona Lefau, Kahuku (football)
>> Solomone Malafu, Kapa’a (football, basketball, volleyball)
>> Tatum Moku, Kamehameha (track and field)
>> Keala Montgomery, Lanai (softball, basketball, volleyball)
>> Raya Nakao, Punahou (golf)
>> Zola O’Donnell, Mililani (cross country, track, swimming)
>> Marley Roe, Kamehameha (soccer, volleyball)
According to the HHSAA, the criteria for induction is based mainly on athletic achievement, but character, sportsmanship, academic record and community service also are taken into consideration.
Every spring since 1983, 12 student-athletes from around the state have been picked for the HHSAA Hall of Honor. With 12 added this year, the number of honorees is up to 492.
The 41 classes — from 1983 to 2023 — are listed below, preceded by a list of athletes who have gone on to play in either the NFL, Major League Baseball or the PGA Tour.
