Bryant Moniz - University of Hawaii Manoa - Football - Moniz, a senior from Wahiawā, O'ahu, missed the team's final month of the season after suffering a leg injury in a loss to Nevada - prior to the injury, he ranked among the nation's leaders in passing and total offense and became just the third UH quarterback to surpass 10,000 yards passing (10,146) and 518 rushing for a total of 10,644 - in the fourth game of the season, Moniz tied an NCAA record by throwing seven touchdown passes in the first half in a 56-14 victory over UC Davis, Moniz completed 30 of 40 passes for 424 yards in that game -- as of November 6, 2011, he ranked eighth among all NCAA DI players in passing yardage - Moniz earned All-WAC first-team honors, as voted on by the conference's eight coaches -- Moniz, a second-team all-WAC pick in 2010, also joins Timmy Chang (2004) and Colt Brennan (2006 & 2007) as the only all-WAC first team honorees in school history. He earned his second straight Alec Waterhouse Most Valuable Player Award at the team's awards banquet.

Tayler Higgins - Punahou HS - Volleyball - Setter Higgins is the Gatorade HS Volleyball player of the year - she led the Buff n' Blue to a 15-0 record and the Division I state title this past season - she recorded 95 assists, 16 digs and 11 kills while posting a .578 kill percentage in the state tournament - the 2011 Division I State Tournament MVP, Higgins was also named 2011 Interscholastic League of Honolulu Player of the Year - is on the fab 15 list - she has maintained a 3.17 GPA in the classroom -- Higgins has donated her time collecting gifts and canned goods on behalf of an area shelter for needy families -- Tayler went on to win Volleyball Magazine First Team All American selection -- "Tayler Higgins is an incredible setter with an amazing volleyball IQ," said Tommy Lake, head coach of rival Moanalua, "She always has consistent, even keeled performances yet she takes risks when needed. She had a great team at Punahou but I believe if you had switched her with the setters of any of the top teams in the state, she may have taken that team to the top too." -- Higgins has verbally committed to play volleyball on an athletic scholarship at the University of Hawaii beginning in the fall of 2013.
