With quarterfinal victories last night at UH's Stan Sheriff Center, two
Oahu teams and one each from Maui and the Big Island advanced to the Final

Top-seeded Kalaheo dispatched of Konawaena, 48-29; No. 2 Punahou pounded
Kauai High, 77-33; No. 3 Waiakea whipped McKinley, 76-54; and No. 4
Baldwin needed double overtime to beat Maryknoll, 38-37.  In tonight's
matchups, Punahou will battle Waiakea, and Kalaheo will take on Baldwin.

The boys' state baseball tournament kicked off last night with four
first-round games at Aloha Stadium.  Baldwin beat Roosevelt, 5-1; Kauai
High edged Kalani, 2-0; Mililani topped Hilo, 4-1; and defending
state champion Iolani nipped Aiea, 3-2.  In today's quarterfinals,
fourth-seeded Waiakea will take on Baldwin, second-seeded Waianae will

Hawaii's Akebono (Chad Rowan) and Musashimaru (Fiamalu Penitani) share the
lead of Tokyo Summer Grand Sumo Tournament with five others.  With three 
bouts remaining, all have 9-3 records.

Eric White has been awarded $31,500 in damages as a result of a racial
slur directed at him by Rob Wallace, the son of UH basketball coach Riley
Wallace.  In February 1995, while sitting near the UH bench in the Special
Events Arena (now the Sheriff Center) during a game against Utah, White
loudly heckled Riley Wallace.  During a heated verbal exchange with White,
Rob Wallace, then the student manager for the UH team, called White a
"nigger."  Wallace was suspended as student manager following the incident
and is now working in Las Vegas.

UH Wahine softball outfielder Tia Morenz was named to the Louisville
Slugger All-America second team announced yesterday.  Morenz, a senior,
batted .387, scored 56 runs, and registered 19 stolen bases.
