HPA, Kohala won’t have a chance to defend state titles after HHSAA nixes nine championships
The HHSAA hammer dropped on Saturday, nailing shut the hope that teams across the state could compete for state championships in air riflery, basketball, bowling, cheerleading, cross-country, canoe paddling, soccer, swimming and diving, and wrestling.
Those sports are slated to begin on Monday. The BIIF has yet to release schedules in any of those sports, and it’s unlikely there will be BIIF championships.
“That’s too bad for the seniors (Moses Emeliano, Zhane Ellazar-Ching, Jeffrey Francisco, Keoni Barco, and Molonai Emeliano),” he said. “I had a pretty good returning class.”
The Cowboys still return O’shen Cazimero – the reigning BIIF player of the year – Koby Agbayani, and La’akea Kauka for their senior seasons next year, but that’s little consolation for a trio who don’t get the chance to play with their lifetime friends in a state title repeat quest.
