RESOLUTION
URGING THE HILO HIGH SCHOOL SCHOOL COMMUNITY COUNCIL TO RECOMMEND THAT HILO HIGH SCHOOL GYM BE NAMED AFTER ALBERT AND LAWRENCE MANLIGUIS.
WHEREAS, for over five decades, Albert and Lawrence Manliguis, also known fondly as Al and Larry Manliguis, have been synonymous with high school athletic and academic excellence, as well as achievement in basketball, particularly at Hilo High School where both brothers served as head coaches; and
WHEREAS, Albert and Lawrence Manliguis, together, coached forty-eight consecutive seasons at Hilo High School, where they led the Hilo High School Vikings to three state championships during that time; and
WHEREAS, known for their incredible dedication, mentorship, and phenomenal coaching style that they passionately brought to their student-athletes, the Manliguis brothers led the Vikings to three stellar state basketball championships: two state championships were coached by Lawrence Manliguis and one state championship was coached by Albert Manliguis; and
WHEREAS, Albert and Lawrence Manliguis' fast-paced, up-tempo approach and full-court coaching style, along with the strong discipline, skills, and character they nurtured in their student-athletes led the Vikings to victory after victory; and
WHEREAS, besides guiding Hilo High School to state championships in 1991 and 2000, Lawrence Manliguis also led the team to a runner-up finish in 1992, and to eleven Big Island Interscholastic Federation titles; and
WHEREAS, in addition to his state championship in 1964, Albert Manliguis led the Vikings to nineteen Big Island Interscholastic Federation championships; and
WHEREAS, as the pride of Hilo High School and the Big Island community, it is only fitting to name Hilo High School Gym after Albert and Lawrence Manliguis for the honor and distinction they have brought to generations of Viking student-athletes and their families and for their noteworthy contributions and achievements to the sport of basketball at Hilo High School and in the State; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Thirty-first Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2022, the Senate concurring, that the Hilo High School School Community Council is urged to recommend that Hilo High School Gym be named after Albert and Lawrence Manliguis for their longstanding commitment to athletic and academic excellence; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Hilo High School School Community Council.
