This season, PONO proudly introduced the Stellar Scholar-Athlete Initiative, a recognition program that honors the well-rounded excellence of our young athletes. At the end of each trimester, coaches select three to four standout players whose achievements extend beyond the diamond.

Selections are based on academic performance, teacher recommendations, campus involvement, school awards, and participation in student leadership. These criteria ensure we highlight not only athletic talent, but character, discipline, and commitment to growth in every area of life.

We are deeply proud to celebrate these exceptional student-athletes and the hard work they invest both on the field and in the classroom. Their dedication embodies the values of PONO and serves as an inspiring example for all our players.
