Weekend sports: girls basketball rolls, three wrestling champions, soccer team drops another

The Molokai girls basketball team continued to steamroll through the Maui Interscholastic League this past weekend. After blowing out St. Anthony in the MIL home openers last weekend, the Farmers extended their league record to 4-0 with two victories over Lanai at home at the Barn.

On Friday night Molokai thumped Lanai 69-12. Danna-Lynn Hooper-Juario led all scorers with 20 points followed by Kalei Adolpho with 18 points.

Lanai girls had a far more productive game on Saturday, putting up more than twice as many points. But it wasn’t nearly enough against the high-powered Molokai team, as the Farmers won again, this time by a score of 64-27. Hooper-Juario scored 19 and Adolpho put up 10 in the victory. Lanai’s Anela Granito-Wallace scored 14 points.
