Kahuku football trio heads up 2023 class of HHSAA Hall of Honor
It is rare that two – let alone three – players with the same primary sport at the same school in the same year pass muster to be admitted into the esteemed ranks of the Hawaii High School Hall of Honor.
On Sunday, an 11-person committee of current and former sportswriters, athletic directors and coaches decided that a trio of Kahuku football’s outgoing stars merited such consideration. Linebackers Leonard Ah You and Liona Lefau and safety Brock Fonoimoana headlined the class of 12 seniors for the 2023 hall class announced Monday morning.
The three, bound for Power Five schools in Texas (Lefau), Utah (Fonoimoana) and Oregon State (Ah You) were defensive linchpins for the Red Raiders in securing a second straight state Open Division championship. But they were talented and versatile enough to appear on offense and special teams when necessary, too.
