New Wrestling Web Site
Just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve started a new web site focused on wrestling, judo, and grappling/mma called Matside Hawaii. The site is intended to be an information resource for the sport(s) we hold so dear, yet get so little coverage from the local media. It’s also a bit of an experiment in […]

Both our JV and intermediate teams moved a step closer towards their goal of wrestling with intensity, discipline and teamwork this weekend at the St. Louis JV/INT Round Robin Tournament.

We put in a solid performance in our Friday night duals, wrestling much better than we did on Tuesday. The Girls kicked off the night with a strong outing against Pac-5. Due to forfeits on both sides, we only wrestled head-to-head in six matches and won all by pin. The Boys wrestled much better than […]

This picture doesn’t accurately represent just how big an entourage we had in Minnesota. We had more fans than wrestlers join us on the long journey to Minnesota (I believe the final number was 26!) and it looked like they had just as rewarding a trip as we did. Besides watching the great wrestling and […]

Some of the foolish fun we had in Rochester, MN. While we were waiting for our shuttle on Saturday night, the boys decided to amuse themselves with a snowball fight. Unfortunately, it was too cold to make snowballs so they just threw snow…and yes, it was really 15 below zero!

We opened our 2010 campaign with the boys wrestling St. Louis and the girls wrestling Kamehameha. Overall, a solid, if sluggish, performance and we were able to come away with victories at the varsity level. We wrestled upstairs in our wrestling room, which is a great venue since the fans are right there on matside. […]

Day 2 of The Clash started with a 6:30am shuttle to morning weigh-ins. The snow that had caused so much chaos the day before had stopped, but the […]

As on our last trip to the Clash, we got nice coverage in the Minnesota papers. Here’s an article from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Hearty Hawaiians test the air (brrrr), hit the mat Ben Pherson also did a piece on us for the Jan 6 edition of Rochester’s Post-Bulletin. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to link […]
