Star-Bulletin staff

Blaine Lee battled the elements. Grant Yasui did the same, while also fighting the flu.

When they were finished yesterday at Waialae Country Club, Pearl City's top two boys' golfers had led the Chargers to their second consecutive Oahu Interscholastic Association team championship.

Pearl City beat Kalaheo, 318-348.

For the girls' title, the Moanalua team of Ayumi Hori and Cheryl Lynn Daquip beat Radford in a sudden-death playoff after they tied at 163.

"We got solid play from our top two," Pearl City boys' coach Ray Shimabuku said. "Especially since it was a little drizzly and very windy, and Grant was pretty sick."

Lee shot 34-39-73, while Yasui shot 37-41-81.
