HHSAA inducts Hall of Honor class of 2019


 



Twelve student-athletes from 11 different schools were honored at the annual Enterprise Rent-A-Car/Hawaii High School Athletic Association Hall of Honor awards dinner Sunday night at the Pomaikai Ballrooms.

Seven boys and five girls were inducted as part of the HHSAA's 37th Hall of Honor class, which includes the first inductee from Lanai.

Punahou grad and Hall of Honor '09 inductee Manti Teo was this year's keynote speaker. The former two-sport star finished as a Heisman Trophy Finalist in 2012 while leading Notre Dame to a BCS National Championship runner-up finish in his senior season. He is currently a NFL free agent after having spent time with the San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints. Teo has had to fight through a multitude of setbacks from injuries that have caused him to miss 37 games in his six-year career.
