Congratulations to the Pearl City Chargers who captured both the Girls and Boys Team Championships, as well as 10 Individual Championships on Saturday at the 2025 The Odom Corporation HHSAA State Judo Championships held at Stan Sheriff Center on the campus of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
The Chargers behind Head Coach Robin Puhala and his outstanding coaching team, support staff, and Chargers ohana, came away with one of the most dominating performances by both the Girls and Boys teams in an HHSAA State Judo Championship Tournament that will live forever in the hearts and minds of those who compete, those who came before them, and those who support the Pearl City Chargers storied Judo Program legacy.
