Onaona Miller hit a turnaround jumper as the final horn sounded to give
Punaahou a 55-53 win over Waiakea in a semifinal game of the girls' state
high school basketball tournament last night at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Miller and freshman teammate Milia Macfarlane paced the Buffanblu with 14
points apiece.  Mona Amisone scored 14 for Waiakea.  In the other
semifinal, unbeaten Kalaheo shot down a determined Baldwin team, 58-48.
Kim Taylor poured in 26 points to spark the Mustangs.  Aloha Santiago, the
girls' state discus and shot put champion, powered in 13 points for the
Bears. The championship game will be televised live on KFVE.

With victories last night at Aloha Stadium, Mid-Pacific, Iolani, Waianae,

6-2; and Baldwin topped No. 4 Waiakea, 5-2.  In tonight's matchups,

bout of the Tokyo Summer Grand Sumo Tournament last night.  With the win,
Musashimaru improved to 10-3, and he shares the tournament lead with

Dejima.  Akebono is 9-4, a mark he shares with five others.

UH Wahine star Nani Cockett will try out for the U.S. National Team next
month.  She had hoped to land a spot with a team in the Women's NBA but
wasn't drafted.  Cockett, who needs just a couple courses to earn a UH
degree, is also considering playing in Europe, much like former Wahine
player Judy Mosley did prior to hooking with a team in the states.

chance at a title as well.
