It was an honor to catch up with Ray Cooper III yesterday at the 2026 HHSAA State Boys and Girls Wrestling Championships held at the Neil Blaisdell Arena.
Ray defines Pearl City Charger Pride as a multi OIA and HHSAA State Wrestling Champion, as well a standout all-star football player for the Chargers.
Ray is also a 2X MMA PFL World Welterweight Champion and is currently training for his next bout in the Dominican Republic in April 2026.
Mahalo Ray for spending time with me while cheering on the Chargers.
CHARGER PRIDE… EXCELLENCE WITH HONOR…
