A three-year letterwinner, Island was named his team's Most Outstanding Player. As a junior, he earned first team All-Western League and second team CIF Division II honors and was the MVP at the 2004 Hilltop Tournament. A recipient of the UC Booster's Scholar/Athlete Award in high school, Island was also a two-time member of the San Diego Union Tribune All-Academic Team (3.0 cumulative gpa and above).
