You can probably hand the top four of the Hawaii Prep World’s pound-for-pound their state titles already, but after that it is all up for grabs.

Three of the top 10 girls are in the 112-pound bracket, let by defending state champion Macy Higa of Roosevelt. Challenging her will be No. 6 Alexis Encinas of Lahainaluna and No. 10 Tiare Ikei of Kaiser. Encinas also has a state championship to her credit.

The big three have been butting heads all year, with Higa beating Ikei last week and beating Encinas at the Paani Challenge. Encinas has a win over Kamehameha 107-pounder Ashley Gooman to her credit this year.


As if that wasn’t tough enough, BIIF champion Charlotte Taylor of Kealakehe, ILH queen Reiko Ramirez of Mid-Pacific and Pearl City’s Makana Cooper are also in the field. Ikei beat Cooper twice, but is in the same quad as Taylor.

There are seven state medals already in the field, with Encinas going for her fourth.
