HHSAA State Championships (Nov 5–6)
Representing leagues statewide (OIA: 42, ILH: 25, BIIF: 13, MIL: 11, KIF: 9), this was two days of intense competition.
Heading into the final 3 games on Day 2, Mililani maintained a strong lead in the boys’ division, leaving a tight 60-pin battle between PCHS, Moanalua, and Kalani for the 2nd place Koa trophy.
In the final game of the season, our Pearl City boys embodied our “One Heart, One Beat” motto and rallied together to claim the 2nd place Koa trophy for the second consecutive year. I am incredibly proud of how they united as a team.

Acknowledgments & Thanks
A huge thank you to Coach Millie for her immense support and patience with the girls’ team. Starting without a full roster, Coach Millie—along with last-minute additions Taesha Puu-Evangelista and Hailey Rellez—guided the team into true competitors. Special thanks to Zaylee Vergado-Duclayan, Journey Abadilla, and Jade Cho for their hard work this season.
To our Charger boys—TJ Ichimura, Zander Kamoto-Rafael, Rylen Funasaki, Shane Savalle, Logan Uyesugi, Jamason Quides-Nihipali, and Roddy Asuncion: hold your heads high! Finishing 2nd in OIA West, 2nd in OIAs, and 2nd in HHSAA States is a remarkable achievement.
Thank you to the Pearl City Community and AD Reid Shigemasa for your continued support.
“One Heart, One Beat”
Best regards,
Coach Tony
