Kahuku sweeps
OIA wrestling

For the third straight year, the Kahuku boys and girls wrestling squads each won the OIA championships, held yesterday at Leilehua.

"I'm proud of them, proud of their effort, being so young, coming so far," Kahuku coach Reggie Torres said. The Red Raiders have just four seniors on the varsity boys and girls teams combined.

Although Torres was happy with the wins, he also noted the victories came at a price. Two Red Raiders -- Mysia Kamakaala and Simione Mapu -- had to pull out of the tournament because of injuries.

"It's a good victory, but a sad victory," Torres said. "For states next week, we're pretty busted up."

Winning their fifth OIA title in six years, the Kahuku boys squad dominated the rest of the field, scoring 228.5 points to beat Pearl City by 36.5.

Three Red Raiders boys claimed individual titles. Sophomore Richard Torres won a 7-1 decision to take the 119-pound class, while defending state champion Daniel Morita took an 11-2 decision over Mililani's TJ Dowell-Howko in the 135-pound class. Senior Max Fairclough won the 275-pound class, getting a 5-2 decision over Shannon Saili of Waipahu.

"Those three have been the most consistent for us all year. They are the nucleus for our team," Torres said.

Led by freshman Danica Auna, the Kahuku girls posted 134.5 points en route to their third consecutive league title. Pearl City tallied 131 points behind the first-place finishes of Nicole Young in the 140-pound class and Stacey Ikawa in the 175-pound class. Moanalua finished third with 128 points.

Red Raiders Ashlee Estioko and Agrianna Aguino each fell in their respective championship matches, while Christina Meredith and Kamakaala lost their third-place matches. But the finishes were high enough to hold off the Chargers.

"Our coach told us, 'Even if you can't win individually, you can win as a team.' He told us to believe we can win, have no regrets," Auna said.

Auna notched the only Kahuku win in the 103-pound weight class, winning by pin over Pearl City's Tonya Kageno in 1.22 minutes.
