Welcome to Hawaiiprepworld.com’s attempt at wrestling rankings. I can only rank based on results that I know, so please either email me directly at sapreps808@gmail.com or place your reports in the comments below. If I get one or two people saying that they saw a result, I will try my best to confirm it. If I get three, I will consider it fact. I am still missing Campbell, but I have the Garner Ivey, Officials and Kamehameha. I try to take head-to-head into account first, but if a wrestler wears the label ‘state placer,’ he will always get a bump from me. You will see some wrestlers ranked in more than one weight class. As long as they have competed in that weight class in the past month, they will be ranked there. They will drop out immediately if a month lapses.
Thank you in advance for your results, together we can make this work. I intend on updating these every Sunday night at the least, but may pop in with updates as I get them. On Saturday I am leaning toward going to the ILH, and have Pearl City results covered. All I really need from the other sites is someone with a keen eye to give me results any time anyone in a top 10 is in action, and the result of those matches.

Moore moves up to third after winning the East, I am not sure if that is fair to Chandler but I haven’t seen much from him. Hunter drops two spots after taking fifth in the West. Kuahuai jumps in at 7 as the BIIF champ, and Dacanay enters after taking second in the West. Albright takes Alvarado’s spot on Taloola’s comments but I never got those confirmed by a second source. Not sure what he has been up to lately and will switch it if I learn something different. I am usually very careful not to change things without confirmation, but this one feels right.

8. Eugene Chung, Moanalua
9. Keaka Bringas, Kalaheo
10. Kaeo Skeele, Kaiser
Enough is enough, Terao drops because of inactivity to put Akeo at the top where he belongs. Stevenson and Pascua get big bumps, and Debrum jumps in at No. 5 after winning on Maui over Chism, who has rode his second-place finish at states for long enough. Santiago comes in just behind him as the BIIF champ and Chung enters after taking the East. Bringas enters after taking second in the East and Skeele hangs on to the last spot over Durham.

8. Timothy Rivera, Pearl City
9. Noah Caparida, Molokai
10. Joshua Hao, Campbell
This was really, really tough and could change as early as tonight but I really want to plow through these. The big news is that Jaramillo wrestled here last week and won. He enters at No. 3. Corbett won the West, he is a solid No. 1 and I am keeping Correa at NO. 2 although I am not sure what he has been up to. Reed Hayashida is the other big jumper after winning the BIIF and Kawaihae comes in right after him as the champ of the East. Rivera is second in the West and and Caparida finished ahead of Keian Inouye of Baldwin last week. A lot of really good guys unranked here right now, with Inouye joining Jonathan Lum Lung of Kamehameha-Maui even though the Warrior got a win this week, and Gabriel Jiminez of Mililani.

9. Jake Demello, Castle
10. Josh Gima, Aiea
Solomon still rules here, taking the East last week while Kamaka won the West. Jaramillo moved down, but he will stay No. 2 here for now after taking second at Officials. Boyle jumps in at No. 6 after finishing second in the East and Ikehara comes in at No. 8 for winning the BIIF. The last two spots are very subjective, I gave No. 9 to Marumoto for finishing second in the West and Kaahanui for winning on Maui. Castle’s Jake Demello is probably better, but he finished fourth in the East. I really don’t know where to put Cabinting and Campos, they haven’t been here since Maui.

Moore won the Kamehameha tournament this week over Bailey, which gives the Garner Ivey some juice since Bailey finished sixth there. UPDATE: Terao pinned Diamond again, giving him his second-straight first-place finish in the class and Diamond his second-straight runner-up. Hunter came back from a 16-0 loss to Diamond to pin Pac-Five’s Alex Mimura and taking third by forfeit. Chandler was idle, and Hunter is right on his tail. Moore is solid in fifth with a gold medal this week. Mimura keeps his spot at No. 10, but Kaai Conradt of Kamehameha is right behind him.

None of the top five wrestled this week, But Terao moves ahead of Akeo because the posters are right — head-to-head is king. Skeele won at Kamehameha, but he is behind Durham and Pascua, who placed at Officials. I watched the whole day of officials, I wish I had paid attention to Stevenson. UPDATE: I am bumping Pascua over Durham after his win this week was confirmed, it wasn’t head-to-head but Durham tripped a little bit at Kamehameha. Albright takes the 10th spot over Kamehameha’s Makoa Freitas.

9. Gabriel Jiminez, Mililani
10. Isaiah Kahoonei, Kailua
Correa was the only wrestler in the top five at the crossover this week, and he defended his No. 3 spot with a win there. It was a mess behind him, making it a tough decision between Main and Kamehameha’s Chad Farias for the last spot. UPDATE: Jake, the results I have put Jiminez fifth at MIT, not third, but I could see him over Lum Lung. I am not quite ready to make that move yet. Corbett picked up another tournament win this week, beating Josh Hao 3-0. Correa was also undefeated, so the top is set but where to place Hao, who was a state placer last year and made his debut her for the season. I am going to put him at No. 7, dropping everyone else down one.

10. Alex Donner, Kaiser
Solomon remains king here, entering at Kamehameha and winning the weight class over Villarmia. Jake Demello made his debut here and won at Campbell with three pins, so I am putting him in at No. 8. I have no idea if that is a good place, we will find out eventually. It will be nice to see results from Maui this week, that might shake things up. I would have liked to see Leilehua’s Kamaka here last week.
***************************
I intend to update rankings for each weight class as the year goes by, here are the boys from 132-152. December results and state pedigree are the only factors weighed in. Results from neighbor islands are very hard to come by, I will take any results you have at jcampany@staradvertiser.com. This list is completely subjective and will be so throughout the season, feel free to correct me and corrections will be taken into account next week.
132
1. Josh Terao, Pac-Five
2. Zack Diamond, Mililani
3. Cole Chandler, Pac-Five
4. Jachobe Hunter, Radford
5. Bishop Moore, Roosevelt
Terao wins any weight class he enters, no matter who opposes him. The three-time state champ competed here at officials and beat Zack Diamond in the final after stepping down and taking 132 on Maui. Diamond dominated Chandler in the final on Maui with Terao wrestling fellow state champ Braydon Akeo of Mililani. The difference between Terao and Diamond is as great a difference between Chandler and Diamond, no matter how good the nationally-ranked Terao is, because Diamond has some skills. Hunter took third at officials ahead of Moore, but the class was really weak after Terao and Diamond. Justin Inovejas of Lahainaluna is on the outside looking in after taking third on Maui and fifth at Leilehua.
138
1. Braydon Akeo, Mililani
2. Josh Terao, Pac-Five
3. Joshua Crimmins, Punahou
4. Wyatt Chism, Lahainaluna
5. Thomas Stevenson, Baldwin
Terao is the greatest combat sports athlete the Hawaii prep game has ever seen, but he comes up behind his fellow state champion despite beating him on Maui because Akeo won officials while Terao destroyed the competition at 132. If Terao stays here, he will be No. 1 within a week. Akeo is no slouch, and this weight class is a lot tougher than 132. Put any of the top three alone at 132 and they dominate. Crimmins would be celebrated as a state champ already, and possibly one of the best in Hawaii, but he refuses to take the easy road and just wrestles anyone you put in front of him, even if it is a Terao or Akeo. As good as he is, he won’t be able to beat either of the two studs consistently, but an upset is not out of the question. Chism finished sixth at both Maui and Leilehua but he is a state runner-up and it isn’t hard to imagine him finding that form again despite his disappointing start to the season. It really hurts him that he won’t see a wrestler of Crimmins’ caliber again until states. That’s where Baldwin’s Stevenson comes in. If those two can push each other and grow in the MIL season, one of them could reach the state final. If one of them moves, it is likely over for both of them.
145
1. Bubba Jaramillo, Lahainaluna
2. Liam Corbett, Radford
3. Keith Correa, Kamehameha
4. Robert Campos, Lahainaluna
5. Connor Barfield, Punahou
Jaramillo, a defending state champ, rules this roost and might stay here after stepping up to 152 at officials and losing a close one in the final. Corbett won Officals with Jaramillo moving up, pinning Correa pretty easily after a boring first period. In reality, though, Jaramillo has no real reason to move and should run unopposed if he stays. Campos took third at Officials and a lot of that probably has to do with going against Jaramillo every day, but he doesn’t look like a state contender whether Jaramillo stays or not. Barfield was fifth at Officials behind Mililani’s Gabriel Jimenez, but he dominated Campbell’s Rennoldz Soares at 152 at Moanalua but his inability to finish him was a concern.
152
1. Jacob Solomon, Kalaheo
2. Bubba Jaramillo, Lahainaluna
3. Tristan Kamaka, Leilehua
4. Kalei Cabinting, King Kekaulike
5. Robert Campos, Lahainaluna
Solomon upset Jaramillo in the final here at Officials, and he will never upset anyone again. Not because he won’t beat Jaramillo again, but because he probably won’t be the underdog again. Jaramillo controlled Solomon in that match, but the Mustang showed a lot by scoring against the state champ. It could set up the match of the year if these two stay here, it depends on where coaches ask Jaramillo and Campos to go. Kamaka took third at Officials ahead of Punahou’s William Valdez and should be able to beat the Buffanblu when championships come around. Cabinting took third on Maui ahead of Campos, but those two are pretty even.
Terao made room for his teammate at 138 at officials. Akeo is good. But Terao could probably win 132, 138, 145 and give Soloman at 152 a hard rub.
Can’t see Jaramillo staying at 152. Why risk it? Especially because Cooper might be coming down eventually. Cooper already made 152 once.
Guess you’re right about Crimmins. If there weren’t better wrestlers in his weight class every year, he would be state champion.
This group of weight classes will be the one to watch. Terao, Akeo, Jaramillo and possibly Cooper.
Haha, you are right about Terao, but putting him at No. 2 makes it easier to drop him out when it settles.
Crimmins is interesting, whenever I see him I see a true pro and that probably sways me. He hasn’t gotten it done, but I don’t see him quitting. Make of it what you will.
why the love fest for Crimmins?
its true for everyone ” if there are no better wrestlers in his/ her weight class you would be state champion”. lol
akeo before terao? look at their body of work
its like ranking alo behind some other girl because she is making it look so easy and everyone is running!
I am thinking a No. 3 ranking is hardly a lovefest, but I do think the kid is good.
Although Terao os the best wrestler in Hawaii, Akeo is above him for now because of simple math. Terao has one gold here this year, Akeo has a silver and gold.
Harry ” BUBBA ” Jaramiilo looks foward to going to the OIA open for a rematch against Jacob Solomon.
Jaramillo didn’t control anything. Had the coin toss not gone the way it had, Solomon would’ve put up a much larger margin of victory. I think Solomon had 3 takedowns to Jaramillo’s 1.
OK, My bad i thought Terao beat Akeo when he won Maui and followed up by taking Officials? giving him two golds
“Although Terao os the best wrestler in Hawaii, Akeo is above him for now because of simple math. Terao has one gold here this year, Akeo has a silver and gold.”
Although????
Here’s is some simple math for you. Pay close attention now…….
Joshua Terao in TOTAL Hawaii wrestling competition………. 100% gold and 0 silver.
Fargo 2 time Double All-American in cadet and junior division in both freestyle and Greco. 2013 Fargo Junior National Championship in Greco.
Besides Terao is hydrated for #126 you need to rank him there too! SMH
Do you even know how to wrestle?
RETIRED… we’ll see at OIA’s…. all in all though, I’m proud to say that Hawai’i has some incredible talent and all contenders are amazing. I still wouild place all bets on Jaramillo…
Just some advice. I don’t think you should rank wrestlers at 2 weight classes. No ranking system in the US does that. Use their last weight class wrestled. It makes you look a little sketchy putting Terao 2nd, even though I understand what you mean about dropping him out later.
Your boy crimmins looks good against average and below average wrestlers but gets destroyed when facing good competition. Take his match against Terao and akeo for example. Never took either of them down once and looked like a fish.
On your next update I would have Jimenez ranked at 145 and remove one of the Lunas. Jimenez placed at both Maui and Officials and having 2 Lahainaluna wrestlers ranked in the same weight makes no sense. Also i think its pretty clear that Terao is going 132 this year so you can take him off of 138 and maybe add Pascua from Iolani. Hope that helps and keep up the good work.
Jerry,
I think your doing a great job with your coverage on Hawaii High School Wrestling. You have shown great consistency with your attendance at tournaments and duals last year and this year. Great job and please continue the coverage. No matter what kind of rankings you do throughout the season, you will have some controversy. It doesn’t matter, because it will all clear up when states rolls around
Jerry,
The only feedback I will give you with rankings would be that head to head criteria should be top criteria or at the very least, equal to or your other criteria as the season goes on. Keep up the good work……
A good example is Chism beat Stevenson last yr nd is a State runner-up, but Stevenson beat Chism in consi semis at officials this yr, so you’re right with ranking Chism ahead of Stevenson for now. Pascua(Iol) not ranked, but beat Chism at Officials and lost To Stevenson in maui. Very hard to rank, but keep an eye on Pascua.
Stevenson is looking great this year. He held his own againts Terao and Akeo. Id have him ranked 2nd at 138 ahead of Crimmins. Crimmins placed higher at officials only because his seeding put him on the other side of Akeo.
Thanks for the comments, this is a work in progress and I am updating them now. Reasoning will come in a separate post, but a few things.
1. Shifty: No, I don’t know how to wrestle. Never stepped onto a mat, but I hope that is not a requirement for following the sport. I am well aware of Terao’s accomplishments but I have to limit this to action that has happened during the high school season this year.
Vincent: Thanks for taking this what it is. I am not going to rank wrestlers at weights they have not competed in because I really don’t know where they plan on going or are going to end up and I don’t want to plan to.
Jake: Thanks to you, too. I agree that two wrestlers from the same school on the same list looks sketchy. As for ranking the same wrestlers in different weight classes, I don’t mind being different. I am going to move Terao to No. 1 here because those who took time out of their day to comment (even shifty) are right, but I will drop out any athlete who hasn’t appeared in a specific weight class in more than a month. That should solve it, at least until the end when they jump into weights they haven’t competed in all year. But as long as it is clearly defined, I am good with it.
Palea, thanks for your kind words. As they say, eighty percent of success is showing up and I feel like I have been doing that even if I don’t know what I am looking at.
And thanks to those who emailed me kind words. Just doing what we do. Back at it.
Good feed back vincentvanbro…….
Spadler, I agree Stevenson is finally coming into his own, but when rankings are involved, credentials and head to head are very important. I would have Akeo, Crimmins, Chism, Stevenson and Pascua for now. Things will change in the next two weeks due to Stevenson and Chism meeting up as well as crimmins and pascua.
Actually, you need to add Hao(campbell). He’s a returning state place winner and took 4th at officials. I would remove Terao and go Crimmins, Chism, Stevenson, Hao, Pascua, maybe kaiser kid
Thanks, Palea, he has been added. Please don’t let anyone freak out that it has been expanded to 10 until I can write the reasoning. Gonna do that in the morning before I add neighbor islanders to the girls rankings.
Terao has to stay, or else I am getting ahead of myself.
At 138 Durham never placed at officials. Shouldn’t have him over pascua. Terao competed at 132 this past weekend at Campbell. Also, Stevenson has a head to head over Chism.
Thanks, Jake, Durham gets the nod for taking fourth on Maui over Pascua. I want to wait another week before dropping Chism, a state runner up, behind Stevenson.
Jerry,
Thank you Jerry. Post (again) how you are rating these athletes, what you are using to determine weighting, contributing factors. etc. etc. You may (will) need to constantly reenstate your methods and standards of rating to establish a accepted understanding among those who will follow you. You’re probably are getting a lot of passionate fans who are going to give you an ear full if the feel you are less that fair with their athlete. That’s a good thing.
on another note, I also have never been a wrestler so you are in good company but I was an athlete and in my opinion (after years of supporting athletes) wrestling is the most amazing sport I’ve ever seen.Not everyone can be big or tall but ALL can wrestle. At this moment, we have a bunch of our Hawaii kids wrestling at every level above high school (boys and girls) across the country from Junior College to NCAA Division 1 and doing extremely well. Do you know who they are? For many of them wrestling gave the a path to college. Hawaii wrestling needs recognized, promoted and supported. So thank for letting the wrestling give you their input and factoring it in.
Jiminez took 3rd at MIT and 4th at officials, he’s ranked way too low. Especially after almost defeating Jarmillio in the quarters at MIT. Officials should have a little more leverage than MIT. Durham had a good draw and made it to the 3rd place match but did not place at officials as pascua did. Their should be some good matchups at 138 in the ILH and MIL this weekend. It’s more than Obvious that Terao will be at 132 so he should be removed. I can see why Jarmillio is at 145 and 152 because of Lahainas lineup. Dosnt make sense to keep Terao at both.
Thanks, highlock, that is a great suggestion. I will put my general criteria at the top of each rankings post along with a plea for help. Getting OIA results might be an impossible task, I am probably going to need people to post what they know and try to confirm each one individually.
Jake, I am pretty set on keeping Terao in two classes until January 22. I realize it makes me look like I don’t know what I am doing and am fine with that if the alternative is pretending that I do. I know Terao is staying at 132, and you know he is staying at 132. The whole community knows, but I figure it will shake itself out later in the month.
Hey jerry, If you would like to give me your email I would be glad to update you weekly on key matches In the OIA
Thanks, Jake, it is refreshing to see someone wanting to contribute rather than just complain about the hole being too shallow without picking up a shovel. I am going to put my email (sapreps808@gmail.com) at the top of each rankings list and ask the community to fill me in. I am thinking I will go to the ILH this week, with leaves me begging for OIA.
But first I have to feed the beast on the girls side and put in neighbor islanders, but will probably be back on the boys tomorrow morning.
I remember seeing Hao(Campbell) wrestle Correa(Kamehameha) at Moanaloa Duel-meets. Hao beat Correa 7-1. Also, keep your eye on Skylar from Kapolei. I’ve watched him wrestle at Campbell and Kapolei duals; kid has potential. You’re doing a great job, man. Keep up the good work.
Albright won again this week, beating a Pearl City kid I don’t have the name for.
Chism is a little too high, he’s getting too much credit for what he did last year. Stevenson and Pascua already both have a win over him this year. I would have Stevenson at 3, crimmins at 4 and Pascua at 5
I agree on Chism. 138 is easily the deepest weight class in the state this year as far as credentials go so ur going to really have to focus on the head to head match ups. Especially with young studs like Stevenson and Pascua who havent placed in states but are beating state runner-ups.
Pretty sure Hao is at 145 now, and Albright is a 132 pounder now. Pinned #7 132 in the first period.
I think 138 should probably be :
1. Akeo(MIL) – fairly untouchable to the rest of the pack
2. Pascua(IOL) – his only losses at officials were to the same guy(not in weight class anymore and both by a point)
3. Stevenson(BAL) – good technique and could be a toss up with Pascua
4. Crimmins(PUN) – good, but was on an easy half of the bracket at officials(Akeo/Hao/Stevenson/Pascua all on opposite side. Neither him or Chism beat anyone from the top half yet).
Actually Stevenson already dominated Pascua at MIT’s
Forgot about that, what was the score again?
1. Akeo
2. Stevenson
3. Pascua
4. Crimmins
Not positive but it was something like 9-2
I was there as well Kyle Wooten. I saw Hao beat Correa at 145 7-1. Also, does anyone know how Bubba is doing on maui? I haven’t heard much from him lately.
Hey jerry Hao hasn’t been at 138 since officials, don’t see him going back down. Time to take him out
Thanks, Jake, I am in the office and left my spreadsheet at home but will try to make sense of all of this tomorrow morning.
Bubba has won two weeks in a row at 152. As far as I can tell he hasnt been at 145 since MIT
132: Albright should be 6 after wins by pin over Alvaradao and wins over common opponents with Inouvejas(Albright pins Dacanay(CAM) vs. Inouvejas 2-1 victory).
1. Terao 2. Diamond 3. Chandler 4. Hunter 5. Moore 6. Albright
138: Please do not put Terao, Hao, or Albright here any more.
1. Akeo 2. Stevenson 3. Pascua 4. Crimmins 5. Chism(lost to Pascua 0-7, Crimmins 4-5, Stevenson 1-2)
145: Hao is here and beaten Correa. Kamaka has been here for a while also.
1. Corbett 2. Hao 3. Kamaka 4. Correa 5. Campos
152: After pulling out all of the other guys(weight class changes)
1. Solomon 2. Jaramillo 3. Cabingting 4. Valdez 5. Villarmia
Thanks, Taloola, I made changes based on your suggestions. For weight class changes, I have no choice to keep guys like Kamaka, Terao and Hao where they are unless I can get two people to come on here and say ‘Kamaka hasn’t wrestled at 152 since Officials’ That is the best I can do, I am not trying to pretend where everyone is I am just the dude typing at the computer and I REALLY won’t want to pretend to know where kids are in the next month when my attendance will be sparse.
FIgured, no problem. Thanks by the way for what you do.
Jerry,
The one thing you will need to consider when ranking guys at two different weight classes is if it’s for dual meets. Teams will bump up wrestlers for team points. For example, terao went up to 138 for team duals, but he will wrestle at 132. Khiem beat hoshino nd pascua beat Chism nd crimmins. Bailey beat hunter too
Also Rivera beat kamaka this past weekend
Chism lost to Stevenson, pascua, and crimmins no way he should be at 3. On top of that he has not been at 138 in over a month
Looks like Cole Chandler of Pac5 will be dropping to 126 and Crimmins of Punahou seems to be dropping to 132. I think Crimmins knows that the best he can do at 138 in the State’s is 3rd because ILH 2nd place will on Akeo’s side. At 132 Crimmins knows that the ILH 2nd place will be on the opposite side ILH 1st place – Terao at the States and he would have a better chance of making it to the finals.
Mika Dog, that doesn’t make sense. Wouldn’t Crimmins be #1 out of the ILH at 138?
Fan, that’s what I thought at first. I then remembered his troubles against Pascua..
Tall, isn’t Zach Diamond at 132, though?
