Player of the Year: Pupualii Sepulona, Saint Louis

Pupualii Sepulona was an unstoppable force to help the Crusaders repeat as state champions. As a freshman he came off the bench and averaged 6.3 points per game. This season as a starter, the 6-foot-3 sophomore averaged 18.3 points per game overall and led the ILH in scoring with 17.2 points per game. It was almost impossible to stop him on drives, but he had the agility and quickness to finish at the rim. He expanded his game further with an outside shot and made 15 3-pointers in the ILH season and 26 overall. In the Iolani Classic, he scored 27 points in a loss to national powerhouse Montverde Academy, a team that boasted six Division I signees. In the ILH season, he scored a career high 29 points against Punahou and followed up with 25 in the ILH regular season finale against the Spartans and 24 against the Buffanblu in the ILH tournament. In the state tournament, he put up 20 and 11 against Kailua in the quarterfinals and 21 and 11 against Moanalua in the semifinals. In the championship game, he overcame early foul trouble in the first half and finished with 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting and was 5-for-6 from the free throw line. Prior to winning Player of the Year honors, Sepulona was an All-Hawaii Honorable Mention selection.
