I am unable to find information on which grades the HI wrestlers are in. I ‘m trying to figure out who will have the best teams returning for next season. Is there a page that lists this? If not, who do you think has the best shot to win next year’s team title and why?

Looks like the 113s are filled with midget beast!! The only thing stoping them is a glue trap. I wonder who else will be wrestling in that weight class that we haven’t seen yet. What about that Kona and Kam Hilo kids what’s their story?

In reply to Kanoakl. You have a point there, Kanoa, and I will probably switch it. If it matters, that ranking probably happened because Lin was previously ranked as the No. 3 in the East and you weren't yet. Good luck at states, Aceret probably has as much of a grumble as you do being unranked despite third in the OIA.

I beat Allen Lin from McKinley twice in the Oia’s championships tournament during the quarters and the 5th place match and should be higher then him in the rankings

Even though the score was close, urabe dominated the match. Nakasone just caught him on his back for 5 points.

@leftfieldcoach – re: Kato & Pagurayan, they’re 1-1 head-to-head, right? Seed will probably come down to overall record against similar competition.

Has Urabe beaten anyone besides Nakasone this season? And it looked like Nakasone closed the gap w/ his neutral game w/ that 14-12 score this weekend. That being said, Sean is fantastic on his feet. He’ll definitely place next weekend.

Couple of things:
Isaac Diamond although ranked, will not participate in States due to injury.
Chance Ikei beat Cayde Tagami at OIA’s so should be ranked higher than him.

Kato should definitely be number 1 at 106. He dominated Pagurayan at Moanalua duals.
Ikei should be at least fourth at 113.
Urabe dominates Nakasoneneverytime they wrestle. He should be 4th.

How do we go to the seeding meeting?

Thanks for all the updates Jerry!

Thanks, MIka, i expect to make weight class adjustments after this weekend. Lee is still at 106 for these purposes for his fourth at Officials. I really haven’t seen much of any ILH in the last month.

For 113, I felt I couldn’t place Ilabon higher than Tagami because of Tagami’s third here at Officials. Obviously, we will find out this weekend. I am going to try to watch ILH until around 4 p.m. then scoot to OIA for the finals. I might live blog them, but I might not since I have two stories to write on deadline.

One thing I am pretty excited about is that the HHSAA has given me approval to attend the seeding meeting on Sunday. I won’t be able to quote anyone during the proceedings but I do plan on live blogging it, like a huge NCAA basketball selection show. It should be interesting. Spread the word.
