There have been many firsts through the annals of prep sports in Hawaii.

For Tua Tagovailoa, becoming the highest-ranked quarterback recruit in island history — No. 1 nationwide after top honors at the Nike Elite 11 — was the icing on a glorious football career at Saint Louis.

Now enrolled and earning rave reviews at national powerhouse Alabama, Tagovailoa is part of the 2017 — and 35th — edition of the Hawaii Hall of Honor, which was selected over the weekend.

The 12 inductees are:

Kayla Afoa (Kamehameha volleyball, track and field): The multiple-sport standout excelled as a key player for Chris Blake’s title-contending Warriors on the hardwood. She was a two-time Star-Advertiser All-State Fab 15 selection (at No. 2 among all players) as a junior and senior.
