FIRST PLACE
(1) Branden Pagurayan (Kapo) vs. Pokela De Santos (Lei)
— Pagurayan, fall :51
Pagurayan: “It was only a minute, not much happened. I wanted to make it quick and fast. I didn’t want to risk losing anything so I tried to end it with a pin unlike my other matches where I try to go for points. Two down so far. I plan on continuing the rest of it — complete the grand slam. Set the bar high for my brothers.”
THIRD PLACE
Cameron Nishida (MPI) vs. (2) Stone Franczyk (Han)
— Franczyk, D 7-3
FIFTH PLACE
Kanoa Aruba-Starwood (KSM) vs. Matai Suitonu (Rad)

SEMIFINALS
(1) Branden Pagurayan (Kapo) vs. Kanoa Aruba-Starwood (KSM)
— Pagurayan, TF 20-5
Pokela De Santos (Lei) vs. (2) Stone Franczyk (Han)
— De Santos, D 3-1
Pagurayan is just a sophomore but somehow eclipses the rest of the semifinalists in experience. He is the defending state champion and wasn’t pushed today while carnage erupted around him in the bracket. ILH champion Franzcyk got through and will face the OIA runner up while Aruba-Starwood somehow earned two pins and rose from third in the MIL last week to the final four in the state this week. The three other semifinalists are all in their first state tournament. If Aruba-Starwood can keep the upset train rolling, he will join Andrew Kahalewai in 2013 as KS-Maui’s only other state finalist.
