HONORS
• Nissan winners: Twelve senior student-athletes were honored last night during the 19th annual Nissan Hawaii High School Hall of Honor scholarship program at the Hawai'i Prince Hotel-Waikiki's Mauna Kea Ballroom.
The winners were given $2,000 college scholarships.
This year's recipients include two players who led their teams to the final of the girls state basketball championship — Kalaheo's Brandy Richardson and 'Aiea's Aritta Lane. 'Aiea won 52-45, just five days after losing to Kalaheo by 16 points in the O'ahu Interscholastic Association championship game.
Richardson is expected to be named to the all-state team for the fourth year in a row and could be named Player of the Year for the third straight year. Lane is a strong all-state candidate as well as an all-league volleyball player.
The Class of 2001 also includes:
Pesefea Fiaseu (St. Louis), Aaron Francisco (Kahuku), Nicole Garbin (Baldwin), Natasha Kai (Kahuku), Rachel Kyono (Kaua'i), Milia Macfarlane (Punahou), Mark Rodrigues (Kaua'i), Edward Ruhland (Hilo), Joelle Sugai ('Aiea) and Shannon Tabion (Baldwin).
