New site, same result for defending state champion Isabelle Asuncion.

The Moanalua senior pinned Erika Olkowski of Punahou in 36 seconds of their girls 117 weight class quarterfinal on Friday afternoon at BYU-Hawaii’s Cannon Activities Center.

Asuncion advanced to the semifinal round of the Texaco/HHSAA State Wrestling Championships. She won her second consecutive OIA title last week as Moanalua surged to the team title. Na Menehune have a shot at the state team championship behind Asuncion and several title contenders, including freshman Adriana Daoang (97 weight class), Eden Baguio (168) and Jasmine Adiniwin (184). All four entered the tournament as top seeds and advanced. Daoang (21-1) pinned Maila Daniels of Konawaena in 22 seconds. Adiniwin (14-1) edged Ofa Haupu of Baldwin 5-3.

Moanalua led the girls team standings late in the action on day one with a 19-point lead over second-place Lahainaluna.

“It’s going pretty well. Seeing everyone wrestling is eye-opening. I’m excited,” said Asuncion (17-1). “During the match, because I wrestled her before, I knew she was going to give me a tougher time, but my body was so relaxed, I kind of cancelled that out. Everything around me was going so crazy, but I was in my own thoughts. It’s just a little mindset thing, really who wants it more.”

In the 155 weight class, Moanalua sophomore Nohilani Kukonu upset No. 2 seed Paige Taasan of Hilo on a pin that ended the second period. However, Hilo coach Tyler Milare was livid, noting to the referees that the clock had run out before there was an official pin.

“My girl is on the bottom and there’s literally six seconds left. The noodle kid is running, swings at the ref (to end the period), he misses. Then the referee continues to proceed and calls a pin three seconds after the period,” Milare said.

Video confirmed that the pin attempt was less than two seconds long when the head official was informed that time had run out.

“His assistant ref told me that time was out, but he wasn’t even looking at the clock,” Milare said, referring to video.

Taasan was ahead 5-4 when the match was ruled over.

“This is the third missed call we had today, and the same nonsense happened last year, too,” Milare said.

The controversial finish ended what had been a superb battle. For Kukonu, it an unsurprising result. She had beaten Taasan during the 145 final of the Pa‘ani preseason tournament at Punahou.

“It’s a lot of forward pressure, being aggressive, making sure that I keep my elbows in so that I can prevent a lot of shots,” Kukonu said. “At Pa‘ani she had me with a shot that I kind of had a hard time defending.”

Taasan (17-6) came close to pinning Kukonu in the first period before Kukonu (18-4) turned the tables.

“That was a mistake on my part. I was turning one way and I felt my shoulder going down, so I turned the other way and luckily for me, time ran out,” Kukonu said.

She wrestled at 145 most of the year, winning the division at Officials and Pa‘ani. She then placed third in 155 at the OIA championships.

“I weigh about 149. These girls can be as heavy as 157, 158 (after weigh-in),” she said. “I’m feeling pretty good. It wasn’t exactly my first choice to go in 155, but they think it would be better for me, so we’re giving it a try.”

Maia Esera (19-0), defending champion of the 225 weight class, pinned Serania Meredith of Pearl City at 1:49. The junior is joined in the semifinal round by younger sister Leila Esera (16-5), who advanced to the 155 semifinals with wins over Stephanie Gandeza of Molokai (fall, 1:38) and Kahiau Kaahaaina of Kamehameha (fall, 4:51).

“It’s going good. I think about it and she’s a freshman and she’s made it this far. She’s actually really good,” Maia Esera said of her sister.

Leila Esera will battle Kukonu next. Last week, Esera pinned Kukonu at the OIA championships.

“She’s super good, but I think I have a chance. I’m pretty confident tomorrow,” Esera said. “She was really active today.”

Sparring against older sister Maia has made a big difference.

“It helps her get better. She’s lucky to have me. We fight sometimes, but it only helps her get better,” Maia Esera said.

“My sister, I don’t really worry about her,” Leila Esera said. “She’s got everything in the bag. She’s always winning. I’m very proud of her.”

Their father, Tala Esera, is a former Hawaii football player.
