HEARTBREAK in the 132-pound class: Senior Isaac Diamond, from a long line of siblings contending for the state championship, lost in the quarterfinals — to Joshua Rosen of Punahou 7-4.
“Sucks,” was the only word an exhausted Diamond said a minute after the match. He placed second in the states as a freshman and was injured the last two seasons.
In this one, his bad shoulder popped out once and an injury timeout was called twice.
Punahou’s Joshua Crimmins, who beat Diamond’s brother Zack (another state-title contender) in the 138-pound first round earlier in the day, had just got through his quarterfinal match by the slimmest of margins a few minutes earlier, when he was told about Isaac’s match still going on.
“I have all the respect in the world for them, wrestling injured,” Crimmins said.
Zack Diamond, a two-time state runner-up, hurt his knee last week and slid to unseeded status and fought the ILH champion and top-seeded Crimmins in the first round.

NOTE from the 120-pound class:
Kamehameha’s Blaysen Terukina, the Honolulu Advertiser’s seventh-ranked pound-for-pound boys wrestler is confident he can take the state title tomorrow.
“I will be victorious,” he said. “I will work everybody in my weight class.”
As for the Warriors’ team chances, Terukina said “Everybody is doing what they’re supposed to do, staying in there, and even if someone loses they’ll come in the backside to get points. Everything will fall into place.”
NOTE from the 138-pound class:
Crimmins was in a close match the whole way and scored the one escape that let him get to the semifinals.
“When you get to high-caliber matches like this, you have to seize your opportunities,” he said. “That escape was my opportunity. That one point can win a match.”
NOTE from 285-pound class:
Campbell’s Tristan Ludiazo just scored an escape to take a 1-0 lead over Kuikamoku Han of Molokai. The match is in the second period.
Still 1-0, going into third period.
Han escapes for a 1-1 tie. Han being looked at by trainers. Looking at him in the eyes.
Ready to go!!!
Ludiazo wins 3-2, scores a takedown, getting control near the outside of the circle. Han makes an escape late.\
“He’s a good wrestler. It’s an honor to have wrestlers like that in my weight class,” Ludiazo said about a minute ago. “He’s a competitor. His conditioning was good and he was shorter, which gave him a little bit of a positional advantage on someone taller like me.”
Ludiazo, a defensive end on the football team, says he’s going to Western Oregon to play Division II football, where he can get good coaching. Will play Division I possibly some day. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,” he said.
