Mililani used a mix of youth and experience to wrest the Oahu Interscholastic Association boys wrestling title from Pearl City at Leilehua High School on Saturday night.

Pearl City did get a bit of revenge, though, winning the girls’ team title.

Sophomore Braydon Akeo and freshman Isaac Diamond won their first OIA titles, while Chase Tantog and Robert Kim defended their championships to help bring the Trojans home in first place. Mililani had a wrestler in half of the 14 weight classes but trailed Campbell by nine points going into the final.

"We have been battling Campbell every week," Mililani assistant coach John Robinson said. "They have a great team, just this week was our turn to pull ahead of them."

The Trojans beat Campbell by just 21⁄5 points, leaving it up to the last two matches of the night. Campbell’s Kahu Sebala lost to Zach Mason of Waianae 10-7 at 217 pounds and Isaiah Thompson fell to Jaryn Villegas of Leilehua 9-4 at 287 pounds, a pin by either would have given the Sabers the title.

Tantog and Kim were the only wrestlers to repeat as OIA champs. Teammate Jeffery Sanchez could have been a third, but he lost in the final 9-1 to Chaeden Grace-Reyes of Farrington. Kim won 4-3 over Campbell’s Keanu Richardson and Tantog beat Jacob Solomon of Kalaheo 8-4. They also ensured a top seed in next week’s state tournament.

"Starting Monday, this is all behind us," Robinson said. "We have to get back to work, see how many individual state champions we can get and the team will follow."

Only Pearl City and Campbell came close to Mililani’s haul of four first-place finishers, with the Chargers getting gold from Gabriel Iereneo-Baring at 132 pounds and Blake Cooper at 147 pounds. Grace Reyes (173 pounds) and Joshue Rivera (154) doubled up for the Governors.

Other OIA champs were Chauncey Kano of Kapolei (122), Zachary Kido of Campbell (127), Rodney Williams of Castle (162) and Matthew Lee of Moanalua (191).

Pearl City followed Sanoe Spencer back to the top of the OIA, taking the title it last won in 2009 before Kahuku went back-to-back in 2010 and 2011. Spencer got a measure of revenge against a Red Raider in the 222-pound final, beating Kahuku’s Libby Petrie 7-1. Petrie pinned Spencer the last time they met, in a regular-season meet in January at Leilehua.

The Chargers had their championship wrapped up before Spencer took the mat against Petrie, but it was her example that got the Chargers there.

"Sanoe’s been coming up to our wrestling room since the seventh grade," Pearl City coach Mike Lee said. "On and off the mat, she is a big influence on our wrestling team. She’s a special person."

Rachel Tolentino, Sherese Ader, Mylinda Jefferson and Janelle Fuamatu all reached finals but had to settle for second place. Still, they picked up the points Pearl City needed. The Chargers scored 174.5 points, while Aiea was second with 124 and Campbell third with 103.

"We have a young team," Lee said. "But they are OK with just getting better every day, every week just a little bit better."

Eight different schools left with individual champions, with only Roosevelt, Mililani and Aiea doubling up. Angela Enos and Brianna Jeffries won for the Rough Riders, Morgan Yamaguchi and Quinn Nagatani earned top places for the Trojans, while Sam Higa and Lindsay Villarmia got it done for Na Alii.

Kaelynn Canyete of Kapolei, Keani Sebala of Campbell, Brianne Jhun of Moanalua and Joslynn Kahala Minczer also earned titles. Yamaguchi and Spencer were the only girls to defend OIA titles, as defending champions Shayna Marie Oliver of Farrington and Darcie Manning O’Brien of Aiea made it to the championship mat but lost.

Punahou sweeps

Punahou added two more ILH titles, but it appreciated being pushed even more.

"By no means is it ever a foregone conclusion," Punahou coach Matt Oney said. "Our kids wrestled some tough opponents. They have to work hard for everything they get."

Punahou had nine individual ILH champions, led by Mindy Chow, who won her fourth straight title.

Thai Ha Sloan (98 pounds), Nicole Taniguchi (108), Zoe Hernandez (140) and Tiare Kaye (155) won titles for the Punahou girls and Todd Murakawa (130), Bryan Peralta (152), Laurent Remillard (160) and Zachary Hernandez struck gold for the Punahou boys.

Punahou’s boys scored 228 points to Kamehameha’s 189. The Buffanblu girls beat Kamehameha by 20, getting 169 points.
