Official brackets:
State Wrestling (Girls) 2017 Brackets v1
State Wrestling (Boys) 2017 Brackets v1
And away we go. Remember, these lists are far from official and only the top five wresters in each weight class are truly seeded. Everything is slotted after that to make matches. The official brackets will be out later today. Those are Officials.
The criteria on the board here at Iolani’s Sullivan Center are as follows:
1. head to head current season
2. State placement in current weight class last season
3. Major tournament placement in current season
4. Common opponents
5. Major tournament placement in a different weight class in the current season
6. Head to head last season
7. State placement in a different weight class last season
8. Major tournament placement in current weight class last season
9. Major tournament placement in different weight class last season
10. Coaches vote
11. coin flip.
Rankings for major girls tournaments are 1. Officials, 2. Paani, 3. Garner Ivey
Rankings for major boys tournaments are 1. Officials, 2. Garner Ivey
This goes really fast, I will try to list what I can. I started with the champions that I know.
Ed Paola of Kamehameha is running things and Rick Williams of Aiea is manning the computer as always.

ILH and BIIF fighting their runners up against each other, BIIF backs down. Pahoa’s Dylan Olson is in as an alternate, but he draws Pagurayan at the fifth spot but would get the BIIF champ in the second round. They change it and give Koby Chun of Kaiser to Pagurayan and put Olson against Cabanban.
1. Corey Cabanban, Saint Louis

Estrella gets the top seed because of Officials. Galanto gets the third seed over Stefanelli and the ILH does not dispute it. Stefanelli deserves the No. 3 and some coaches are accusing the ILH of hiding their kid. ILH’s response is you don’t hide by going after the No. 1 seed, they stay at No. 4. The critirea only comes into play if someone disputes it, and ILH didn’t dispute it so it stands. BIIF2 vs. OIA2 almost came down to a coaches vote, but the BIIF concedes.
1. Kainalu Estrella, Lahainaluna
2. Triston Santos, Campbell
3. Elison Galanto, Keaau

MIL is standing up for Leanio of Kauai since there is no rep here. They are not about to argue against Cooper, who won Officials. Everyone says Leanio deserves No. 2 and if he drops below that he could become a bracket buster. The issue seems to be why Kauai doesn’t show up and the meeting proceeds without anyone officially speaking on Leanio’s behalf. They vote whether to speak on his behalf and it comes out 2-2. The HHSAA boss says to allow the MIL to speak up for the KIF so that he doesn’t wreck the entire bracket. Usually Kauai just takes the No 5 or wherever he falls, but Leanio seems to be a different animal and it seems they haven’t had a wrestler good enough to have it be an issue. The issue ends with the committee saying they don’t want to punish a kid for not having representation and he will be seeded second. Then fourth seed comes down to a coin flip BIIF (Mamone) vs. the MIL (Dunwell). Kauai seeded second is causing big problems, putting ILH runner up (Tapia of Kamehameha) against MIL champ but ILH is fine with it. Big matches in the first round, Tapia of Kamehameha vs. Dunwell of Lanai on one side and Madison Leanio vs. Kainalu Tumpap of Saint Louis on the other side. Nicholas Mair and Jake Angelo could meet in the second round. Paola ends the meeting by saying he is going to put a proposal before Hiada in the summer to allow leagues to speak for different kids.

Nobody argues the top two seeds, third is MIL vs. BIIF, Joy gets it. Kamehameha’s Trever Kahunahuna and MIL’s Reeno Pascual comes down to a vote. Kamehameha wins the vote 3-1. Kahunahuna did all of his damage in a higher weight class.

Three and four went for quite a discussion before Labanan took it. Freitas gets No. 5 because of her placing at Officials. Leilehua’s Samantha Murrulos almost made it in but was skipped over because the same school can’t have two entrants and Corbett rules here. OIA coach pointed it out. Farrington’s Sailor Taumua gets in as an alternate. Tough to place the Kauai champ, they have to redo it and they slot her in

ILH gets the top seed, MIL wants no.2 due to a head to head victory at Moanalua Duals and OIA says it doesn’t count because it is not a major tournament but head to head is head to head. Lot of discussion over No. 5 but Nanakuli gets it, coaches are really fighting for their kids no matter what school they wrestle for.
1. Taryn Ichimura, Punahou
2. Nanea Estrella, Lahainaluna
3. Allie Mahoe, Kapolei
4. Akua Albino-Kaupu, KS-Hawaii

Gooman wanted the top spot but defending state champ in the weight class trumps it. KIF champion drops out of the fifth seed but drops because it is physically impossible to put them there without busting the bracket with OIA vs. OIA. Everybody agrees that Kauai isn’t where they belong, but they do not attend the meeting. Everybody also agrees that the bracket needs to be expanded with more kids to make it work.
1. Iverly Navarro, Lahainaluna vs. Lauren Peiler, Punahou
2. Ashley Gooman, Kamehameha vs. Francis Reverio-Harris, Kahuku
3. Haylee Fujioka, Roosevelt vs. Tehya Almeida, Kil
4. Ashley Falces, KS-Hawaii vs. Kristen Bareng, Aiea

OIA and MIL are going for the top seed, they are going down the line and Chaves gets it because of her state placing. Kawamura gets the third seed for the ILH, BIIF is arguing that they are being punished for not being able to travel to Officials and making a choice between Moanalua and Officials. Now the BIIF is fighting for No 3 against Kawamura and losing on the criteria. Hoshino’s previous state championship made her the strongest non league champion. OIA 1-2-3 are on the same side and the OIA catches it. They are adjusting it and OIA gets the five spot.
1. Chelsey Chaves, Maui
2. Brianna Leong, Leilehua
3. Brooke Kawamura, Kamehameha
4. Mia Lum, KS-Hawaii
5. Xiaolin Mai, Roosevelt

7. Sami Saribay, Lahainaluna
8. Bailey Hoshino, Punapu

No argument about Navarro, BIIF wants No. 2 but the OIA fights for Mahoe and wins. Fernandez is deemed to be the strongest No. 2 from the leagues, I missed why. It was quick.
1: Ira Navarro, Lahainaluna
2. Allicia Mahoe, Kapolei
3. Gracie Miranda, Waiakea
4. Sarah Obra-Nakata, Punahou
5. Sarai Valdez, Kai
6. Tianna Fernandez, Baldwin
7. Kacy Lei Quillopo, University
8. Sabannah Ramos, Leilehua
This creates a lot of OIA-OIA matchups, but can’t be helped. Ariel Goo vs. Ramos, Baron vs. Pau-Exabe.
Kala was 6th at Pa’ani not top.
Isn’t Shannon Jaramillo from Lahainaluna??
Jaramillo was from Lahaina earlier in the year. Maybe just a typo(like many others as he’s typing quickly).
Thank you for doing this and thank you Coach Todd from the MIL for sticking up for KIF wrestler and that bracket. Sounds like you were the voice of reason.
fixed, thanks. Just as Interested in Progress said, it goes really, really quickly and there are probably more than a few typos. Just trying to get the information out there quickly, I will read it over again when I get home.
Interesting issues this year. As always, these seedings are far from official.
Anyone know how Ferreira of Baldwin did not receive the 1 seed at 195?
Quick question on the 145 bracket. Why does Zhach Carriero have the 3rd and 5th seed?
Carreiro should be 3, Kaimana Tampos is 5
So your matchups at 145 are:
Mimura vs. Paaina
Hobby vs. Hauoli
Tampos vs. Laborte
Baker vs. Wengler
Carreriro vs. Severs
Morimoto vs. Nitahara
Nakamasu vs. Yasunaga
Wusstig vs. Ballesteros
By 195 I was a little behind but I don’t remember much discussion. Probably, and I am only guessing, when the HHSAA asked for a No. 1 seed the ILH piped up and nobody contested it.
They are making the OIA girls meet up again on the same side of the bracket. Our girls are basically re-doing OIAs at state. This isn’t right and needs to be fixed.
Jerry, thanks for your time & effort, it truly is appreciated. Love hearing the details on how various issues are sorted out.
Boys 152 – Why was Cassen Christian(MOA) given the 2nd OIA spot when Aaron Mair(KAS) finished second at OIA Championships? Chirstian(MOA) finished 3rd at OIA’s.
Aaron Mir may have done better at the other tournaments as opposed to Cassen Christian. You may want to check the Garner Ivey, Officials and Moanalua tournament results to see how they fared.
I’m sure the OIA representatives were given the criteria for each wrestler from their team coaches in which their seeding positions were determined.
It’s Nicholas by the way. And he placed second at officials. (To cooper) First in east. And second at OIA. (To cooper again). At OIA he beat Campbell who beat Moanalua. So I’m not sure why it is like that.
