Christian Pavo wants four.

The Pearl City senior can become the first boy to win four state judo titles in Hawai'i history, but he's also a three-time defending O'ahu Interscholastic Association champion and Pavo isn't looking past anyone at tomorrow's OIA Individual Championships at Leilehua.

Matches for the double-elimination tournament begin at 10:30 a.m. with finals expected to start around 5 p.m.

Pavo, who is competing at 161 pounds, won his first two titles at 178 and his third at 198 as a junior.

"He's always played where it's been best for the team," Pearl City coach Robin Puahala said. "He's a senior captain this year so we brought him back down to his natural weight."

Moanalua senior Derron Maki is also after his fourth OIA title and is the Eastern Division's top seed at 132 pounds.

"I'd love for him to win four if he could do it," said Na Menehune coach Brandon Maki, Derron's older brother. "It was a goal for him from the beginning, because I didn't play my freshman year so I only won three; we would always talk about it when we were younger. That's where it started from before there was a state tournament."

In other notable divisions: Moanalua sophomore Brady LaFortune is the East No. 1 seed at 114 pounds after winning the OIA and state championships at 108 last season. Teammate Justin Osumi won the OIA last year and finished second in the state at 132. Mililani senior Matthew Ogata is the West No. 1 and defending champion at 178 pounds. Pearl City's Andy Toyama, the defending state champion at 220 pounds, is the West's top seed. He defeated teammate Joe Moe in the Western Division final. Moe beat Toyama for the OIA title last year. Chargers' senior Tyler Lauifi, the two-time champion at 275 pounds, is the top seed from the West.

The 122-pound girls' division, may be the most tightly contested of the day, according to several coaches.

The favorites are no strangers to one another. McKinley's Kayleen Kobashigawa won the Eastern Division title last week with a win over Kahuku's Danica Auna, who beat Kalani's Megan Yamaguchi in the semifinal round.

"That division is up for grabs," McKinley coach Lance Iida said. "Any one of those girls can come out the winner."

During the regular season, Yamaguchi, who is an OIA wrestling champion, beat Kobashigawa and Auna.

"Megan's at a very high skill," Iida said. "Technically she's very sound."

Auna, who lost to Yamaguchi for the OIA wrestling crown, beat her for the state title.

"Danica is probably the toughest (of the three)," Iida said.

In other notable divisions: Farrington's Taylor Ibera is seeking her third OIA crown at 98 pounds. Ibera won the 98-pound division at the Senior Nationals two weeks ago in Virginia Beach, Va.

"She's probably the one projected to win that division," Iida said. "By far, she has the most experience."

Kapolei's Chaelynn Tan, who is the West's third seed, is back to defend her title at 115 pounds.

"Hopefully she can continue playing at that high level," Kapolei coach Scott Hawkins said. It is just the second year of judo for the senior. "She's starting to do more stand-up, instead of wrestling and she's understanding concepts way better than last year."

Govs' senior Tani Ader, a two-time state titlist, is the Eastern Division's top seed at 129 pounds.

The top seven male and top six female place-finishers earn a spot in the state tournament, May 10 at the Stan Sheriff Center.

PUNAHOU LOOKS TO WIN FIFTH ILH TITLE IN A ROW

Punahou, whose boys finished runner-up to Pearl City in last year's state tournament, is looking to wrap up its fifth consecutive Interscholastic League of Honolulu crown after a 7-1 regular season. The Buffanblu have four top seeds heading into tomorrow's ILH Individual Championships at Kamehameha.

The undefeated Buffanblu girls hope to clinch their first ILH title in school history.

Matches begin at 9 a.m. Finals are expected to start around 1 p.m.
