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.
