This past weekend, the Molokai High School (MHS) Wrestling Team and Coach Randy Manley headed over to Lahainaluna High School for the MIL championship tournament. The Farmers secured multiple podium finishes, with Kayce Dudoit and Angel Kealoha taking first place in their weight classes. Ultimately, eight girls and two boys from MHS qualified for the state tournament. For the girls, Kayce Dudoit, Angel Kealoha, Masin Borden-Phillips, Tiale Tancayo, Skye Caparida, Kendra Kaulili, Kindy Sproat and Stephanie Gandeza earned state tournament berths. For the boys, Jona Dudoit and Reyn Raguidin will be heading to states as well. The state tournament will be held Feb. 23-24 at the Cannon Activities Center on Oahu.

The MHS Girls Basketball team competed in the Division II state tournament last week. The Lady Farmers ultimately came up short in an extremely close first-round match against Kapolei, by a score of 40-42. Kaia Yamshita put up 13 points in the loss, with Kailana McGuire Guerrero supplying 11 rebounds. A hard fought second game yielded a loss to Kohala, ending a successful season for the Lady Farmers and Coach Kale Phifer.
