The Chevron/Hawaii High School Athletic Association Wrestling State Championships takes place Friday and Saturday at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center Arena. Here are five pressing questions going into the grueling, two-day tournament.

1) Which team will win the boys' team championship?

In a survey of a handful of coaches this week, six teams were mentioned as potential title contendors in the boys' tournament. Lahainaluna and Campbell seem to be considered as the most likely candidates to win it all, but ILH-powers Punahou and Kamehameha are also expected to be in the mix, as are longshots Pearl City and Kapolei. Head-to-head bouts among the contenders will be of utmost importance and as always, backside points cannot be overlooked; It could come down to those third- and fifth-place matches.

2) Can anybody stop the Kamehameha girls' from winning a team title?

The Warriors are stacked with talent and deep in numbers, a combination that should add up to their first team championship in school history. Seven of their 14 entrants are among the top four seeds in their respective weight classes and three are No. 1 seeds (Shana Dilliner at 117 pounds, Harmony Pacheco at 121 and Teshya Alo at 130). Pearl City has the second-most entrants with 12, while Punahou and Lahainaluna have 11 each and Campbell 10.

3) Which wrestlers have the potential to be this year's "Cinderella Story?"

Last year's state tournament saw a No. 16-seed in Kahuku's Aarica Barcina post upset after upset en route to an unlikely state championship in the 109-pound girls' division. Barcina finished seventh in the OIA tournament and kicked off her state tournament by toppling top-seeded Sarah Grace Alegria of Pearl City in a first-round match. After wins over Campbell's Mieko Liemsithisak and Molokai's Karley Kaulili, Barcina pinned Leilehua's Nakia James in the third period of the championship match to complete her title run. Barcina is back this week and after finishing third in the OIA championships last week is again unseeded. Can she do it again? I, for one, wouldn't put it past her.

4) Is there any chance Josh Terao doesn't four-peat?

To answer in short, no. The Mid-Pacific senior has been so dominant not just this season, but over his decorated prep career, that several coaches I spoke to this week notioned that it's a foregone conclusion that he'll walk away from Blaisdell Arena Saturday night with his fourth title. Terao forfeited a match earlier this season — when he suffered a concussion during an ILH dual meet — to Punahou's Josh Crimmins, the same person he beat to win his third state championship last year. After missing some time to recover, Terao instantly returned to form; he pinned Crimmins in just 22 seconds in their 132-pound ILH final last week. It could come down to the same two Saturday night, but really, the only person who can beat Terao is himself.

5) Could there possibly be a public-school sweep of the team championships?

The Interscholastic League of Honolulu has largely dominated prep wrestling over the years. The ILH has been so dominant that since the debut of girls' wrestling in 1998, only twice has two non-private schools won both the boys' and girls' team title. That was in 2004 and 2006, when Kahuku swept both. Since then, Punahou won six consecutive boys' crowns before Kamehameha broke through last year. The Bufanblu won three straight girls' championships from 2009 to 2011 until Aiea and Pearl City won in 2012 and 2013, respectively. This year's boys' title could very well go the way of Campbell or Lahainaluna, but the girls' race is Kamehameha's to lose.
