Player of the Year: Pupu Sepulona, Saint Louis, Jr.

For the second year in a row, Sepulona took home Division I Player of the Year honors. Despite a dip in scoring from 18.3 points per game in 2022-23 to 14.8 ppg in 2023-24, the junior forward still found ways to impact the game. In the ILH single-elimination tournament, Sepulona shouldered the load and averaged 13.5 points per game. In a decisive winner-take-all game against Maryknoll to get into the state tournament, Sepulona scored a team-high 12 points with eight boards. In the quarterfinal round against Nanakuli, he had 14 points and five boards. In the semifinals, he posted a double-double of 25 and 11 against Kalaheo. In the championship game against Punahou, he finished with 11 and seven boards and was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

Coach of the Year: Dan Hale, Saint Louis

After briefly leaving and returning to Saint Louis, Hale had his work cut out for him as the Crusaders repeated as state champions. The team suffered back-to-back losses to Punahou and Maryknoll, and lost a nailbiter to the Spartans, 39-37, on Jan. 25. Saint Louis faced uncharted territory and was seeded third in the ILH single elimination tournament but would go on to defeat Mid-Pacific (67-54), Kamehameha (56-43), and Maryknoll (36-34) to return to the state tournament. In the ILH final against Punahou, the Crusaders jumped out and cruised to a 60-42 win to claim consecutive league titles and the top overall seed in the state tournament. Saint Louis defeated Nanakuli, a team that made a historic state tournament run, 60-29 in the quarterfinals. It rolled by red-hot Kalaheo, 58-40 in the semifinals and bested the Buffanblu again for the state title, 48-39. Under his guidance, Pupu Sepulona repeated as Player of the Year and Shancin Revuelto repeated as an All-Hawaii First Teamer. Honorable Mention selections for the Crusaders included Caelan Fernando, Stone Kanoa, Keanu Meacham, Jordan Nunuha, and Jordan Posiulai.
