He was the 19th pick overall and joins two other former Rainbows, Derek Tatsuno and Mike Campbell, as first round selections. "I'm happy to a part of the Astros' program," said Johnson, currently working out the U.S. national team at Millington, Tenn. in preparation for the upcoming summer Olympics. Based on what players in his draft position have received in the past, Johnson could receive a signing bonus in the $1 million range. "I think everything will go fair (in negotiations)" he said. Also drafted yesterday were Rainbow outfielder Jason Ross (in the 13th round by the Atlanta Braves) and UH recruit Jared Sundberg (in the 16th round by the expansion Tampa Bay Devil Rays). ** Top Prep Honors to Watson, Arceneaux ** Kamehameha's Rachel Watson and St. Louis' Darnell Arceneaux were named the *Honolulu Advertiser's* female and male high school athletes of the year today.

Arceneaux, who signed a letter of intent to play football for Utah next season, was Mr. Everything for St. Louis. He was this year's state offensive player of the year in football, passing for a record 27 touchdowns for the Prep Bowl champion Crusaders.

Previously, eight teams qualified. Next season, five teams from the red (highest) division, four from the white, and three from the blue will enter the postseason play. The increased number of playoff qualifiers came as a consequence of feedback from league coaches, who said they found it difficult to motivate athletes to play in conference (consolation) games. As such, the consolation playoff set-up will be eliminated. In an apparent cost-cutting move, the OIA also announced that varsity football doubleheaders at Aloha Stadium will be eliminated. Instead, varsity games will be preceded by a junior varsity game between the competing schools. ** Garcia Advances in Quiksilver ** After defeating former world champion Tom Carroll yesterday, Hawaii's Sunny Garcia, currently ranked second in the world, moved into the round of 16 at the Quiksilver Pro surf meet at East Java, Indonesia. Among Garcia's three best rides was a perfect ten where he was barreled twice. Two other local boys, Ross Williams and Derek Ho, also advanced to the round of 16. ** Two Trips Abroad for Isle Prepsters ** Two groups of Isle athletes will travel abroad to compete in their respective sports this summer.

Over at Keehi Lagoon, the green and white clad throng from Lanikai, about 350 paddlers strong, won its first Oahu Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association title since 1972 by outpointing perennial winner Outrigger, 93-69 to win the Healani Canoe Club- sponsored Clem Paiaina Regatta. "We know it's been a long time," said Lanikai coach Bob Puakea, "but we showed that anything's possible. Last year's Molokai-to-Oahu race victory by the Lanikai men drew a host of new paddlers to the club, strengthening an already solid organization. "Lanikai showed that they're the team to beat this year," said Outrigger coach Kalani Schraeder. In the Hui Wa'a Association, Lokahi demonstrated its continued might, easily winning the Kamehameha Regatta off of Kailua Beach Park. The Ala Wai Canal-based club amassed 79 points to runner-up Koa Kai's 47. == OHCRA Team Results == 1. Lanikai 90, 2. Outrigger 69, 3. Kailua 61, 4. Hui Nalu 56, 5. Waikiki Surf Club 22, 6.

"But an opportunity like this doesn't come along too often." Doyle replaces Robert Smock, who resigned recently after coaching the Sea Warriors for the past six seasons. "(Smock) left me with some great players and he had already started a lot of the recruiting," said Doyle, an active mover in Hawaii soccer for the past 20 years. ** Outrigger Teams Fare Well at Nationals ** One team from the Outrigger Canoe Club won a title and two others placed in their divisions at the U.S. Volleyball Championships this weekend at the Dallas Convention Center in Texas.

Without the extension, the UH coach will have two years remaining at the UH hoop helm. Wallace said he didn't expect an extension after he openly questioned UH president Kenneth Mortimer and athletic director Hugh Yoshida about the firing of UH football coach Bob Wagner at a press conference. "I did it and will live with the consequences," said Wallace. ** Kimura State Baseball MVP ** Iolani third baseman Danny Kimura was named the Hawaii High School Baseball Player of the Year by the Honolulu Advertiser. In addition to hitting .446, Kimura, a junior, was one of the top pitchers for the state champion Raiders, winning a state tourney opening round game against Pearl City and coming on in relief to earn the save in the title game against Waiakea. "He was our sparkplug," said Iolani's Herb Yoshimura, who was named coach of the year. "It would have been difficult to reach the state tournament without him."

Normally composed and businesslike, Salud turned into a demon after Galatti threw a sucker punch into his ribs following a pre- match touching of gloves. "That got me mad," said Salud. "I wanted to tear him apart." That he did, attacking Galatti at every turn and knocking down the former Bulgarian national team boxer for the first time in his 22 professional bouts. A powerful Salud left to the body prompted referee Herbert Minn to stop the fight two minutes into the fourth round. "This felt good," said Salud of the victory. ** Wilton to Speak ** University of Hawaii men's volleyball coach Mike Wilton will be the featured speaker at the UH-Hilo Athletic Booster Club dinner on June 25. Years ago, Wilton was the first choice to lead the fledgling Vulcans wahine volleyball program but he opted for a mainland coaching position. In 1995 and 1996, Wilton led the UH men to two NCAA final four berths, where they finished fourth in 1995 and second this year. ** Four New 'Swords ** Four players have signed letters of intent to play softball for head coach Sol Robello at Chaminade next season.

Both fighters weighed in at 124 pounds but the similarity between them ends there. Salud, raised in Nanakuli, is the local favorite. A powerful puncher with a penchant for pummeling his opponents with punishing body shots, Salud is a seasoned pro with a 52-7 record. Galatti, on the other hand, grew up in communist Bulgaria, where he was recruited as youngster to be a fighter. In 1986, in the midst of a successful career on the Bulgarian national team, he defected to the United States where he continued to box as a pro, carving out a 19-2 record. Mostly a counter-puncher, Galatti said he's looking forward to the fight. "I'm planning to give it everything I have," he said. "It'll be interesting," said Salud. ** Tough Slate for '97 Baseball 'Bows ** The University of Hawaii baseball team will play one of its most challenging schedules ever next season, according to head coach Les Murakami. "We have a strong Easter Tournament field and we are also playing four teams from the Pacific-10," he said. The Rainbows will begin their 1997 campaign by hosting the HulaFest Leadoff Tournament (Jan 16-18), which will feature this year's yet-to-be-determined college world series champion and two other tournament qualifiers. Later in the season, Hawaii will also face six other teams who advanced to postseason play this year, including Wichita State, UCLA, and USC. ** Pavao Improves--Still Eliminated ** Mike Pavao gave a much better accounting of himself yesterday at the NCAA Golf Championships at Ooltewah, Tenn. but still was eliminated. The University of Hawaii golfer, who shot a disastrous 85 on Wednesday, fired an even-par 72 yesterday. His 157 total was well short of the cutoff score of 150 he needed to advance. "I had fun," he said. "I enjoyed every swing." Stanford's Tiger Woods leads the tournament with a score of 8- under 136. ** Oahu Surf Report ** North shore: 1 to 3 feet South shore: 1 to 3 feet

Now a resident of San Diego, Salud, a former WBA super- bantamweight title-holder, has spent much of his non-training time here helping his parents move from to their new home in Honokai Hale. He turned down an offer to stay in a Waikiki hotel, opting instead to stay at the family homestead in Nanakuli. "He's still the same guy," said good friend and high school classmate Anthony Palacio. "He didn't let success go to his head." Said Salud: "I try to give everybody respect. I know I'm not special." ** Hawaii Athletes Lead U.S. Karate Team ** Six Hawaii martial artists together won 21 medals and helped Team USA to the team title at the World Karate Organization World Championships last weekend at Ontario, Canada. In the competition that included about 1,000 athletes from 31 countries, a half dozen Hawaii residents glowed brightly. The six were China Anderson, Elisa Au, Gina Au, Barbara Chinen, Linda Donner, and George Kotaka. Chinen performed brilliantly, earning four gold medals and a silver. ** Rough Day for Pavao ** The Honors Course at Ooletwah, Tenn. wasn't kind to Mike Pavao. The University of Hawaii golfer fired a disappointing 13-over 85 in the opening round of the NCAA Golf Championships yesterday and is in 145th place (of 156). Said Pavao: "I was hitting it well on the driving range, but I lost confidence, I guess, on the course." Pavao, the Western Athletic Conference champion, said he'll have to "shoot real low" today to have any kind of chance of staving off elimination. "I'll try my best," he said. "I want to have fun." ** Sports Shorts ** Keiko Price of Mililani High School will compete in the National Interscholastic Coaches Association National High School championships on June 8 in Florida.

Said Nunokawa, a public defender and former UH Wahine athlete: "The bottom line is they're not recognizing any discrimination." One of the specifics that Nunokawa pointed out is that the girls' basketball season should run concurrently with the boys'. According to Hawaii High School Athletic Association president Al Nagasako, the HHSAA is "doing okay. But if we're not in compliance, then we'd better work toward it." ** Boxing at Blaisdell on Friday ** A pair of junior featherweights (124 lbs.), local boy, Jesus Salud and Michael Gallati, will square off in the main event of a five-bout boxing card Friday night at Blaisdell Arena. The 31- year-old Gallati, formerly known as Gallin Kolev, is a former member of the Bulgarian national boxing team. He defected to the United States ten years ago and gained U.S. citizenship last year. He is 19-2 with 13 knockouts as a professional. Salud, a Waipahu native who now lives and trains in San Diego, has never lost a bout in Hawaii. "He's a tough guy," said Salud. "It'll be a good fight." ** National Title for Pavao? ** The University of Hawaii's Mike Pavao will join 155 other golfers in the NCAA Championship Tournament that begins today at Ooltewah, Tenn. After two rounds, only the top nine players will move on to compete for the NCAA individual title. "It's a tough course," said Pavao. "It's long and the greens are fast and tricky. But everybody faces those conditions, not just me." ** Sports Shorts ** Hawaii Pacific soccer co-coaches Mark and Alexis Kane announced the signing of six incoming freshmen for their 1996-97 squad, including Virginia Ammon, Kristi Gadawski, Hollie Kedro, Malu Afong, Chavela Garza, and Teresa Bennett.
