“It was alright,” said Pomai Campos-Banasihan who finished No. 49 with a 6-game total 888. “We can try again Friday. That’s about all we can do.”

“We’re 41 pins off the lead,” said Chailah Ganiron, Pearl City girls team captain. “We’re at No. 3. Campbell is No. 1 with 4837 pinfall. We’re 41 pins back. That’s four spares, four strikes, four times I made a mistake. … Very doable. We’re going to have to stay positive, cheer harder and stay focused.”
