Each school did one routine, which could include cheering, dancing, stunting and tumbling, and were awarded points from five judges. The final score dropped the high and low scores. A panel of three judged the junior varsity.
The OIA Eastern Division championship will be Saturday at Castle High, and the overall OIA championship Feb. 10 at a site to be determined.
Host ‘Aiea was varsity runner-up and Radford was third.
Pearl City’s nine-member team was fresh from finishing sixth in the medium varsity division at the National Cheerleading Association Championships last month in Dallas, and the Chargers’ preparation and confidence were evident.
"That (national competition) really helped," coach Sandy Oshiro said. "We tell them to sell the routine and look confident."
Sherri Arakawa, Lana Eltagonde and Tiffany Rosales are captains of the first championship team.
