They may have set a record of 164 wins in the Maui Interscholastic League, which was broken in 2020. But the streak of 17 victories is what Lahainaluna High School Lunas girls’ basketball team is most proud of.
The Lunas won their 17th consecutive MIL Division I girls basketball title with a 52-44 victory over the Maui High Sabers. Tuesday’s championship game was at Kaulaheanuiokamoku Gym, Kamehameha Maui campus.
They were ranked No. 3 and No. 4 respectively, when they entered the fourth showdown in the Star-Advertiser state poll. The season series was won by the third-ranked Lahainaluna Lunas, who won the final three games and finished season series 3-1.
The Lunas (12-1) will advance to the Heide & Cook/HHSAA State Quarterfinals next week. Meanwhile, the Sabers (10-3), will host a first round game against a team from the OIA Monday. The winners advance to the quarterfinals.
