McKinley senior Nainoa Lessary was "Mr. Consistency" for the Tigers this past basketball season, and that made him "Mr. Outstanding" in the eyes of OIA White Conference Eastern Division coaches, who recently voted him Player of the Year.
Lessary, a 5-9 guard, averaged 15.3 points per game and scored in double figures in all 15 White Conference contests, including a season-high 25 in a 64-61 overtime loss to Kaiser and 24 in a title game loss to 'Aiea.
Lessary is joined on the OIA White East all-star first team by fellow Tiger Earvin Sione, Farrington's Christian Hernandez, Kaiser's Andrew Wingert and Thompson's Tristan Sealy.
Sione is a 6-4 senior forward, Hernandez a 5-6 junior guard, Wingert a 6-1 senior forward and Sealy a 6-3 senior forward.
McKinley's Bob Morikuni was named Coach of the Year after guiding the Tigers to a 9-6 record and overall runner-up finish in the White Conference.
