The Red Tide of Lahainaluna High School football rolls on, as the Lunas defeated the Nanakuli Golden Hawks 28-0 last Saturday night in the First Hawaiian Bank Hawaii High School Athletic Association Division II State Championship playoffs at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. As it has all year, the Lunas’ defense dominated once again to record its seventh shutout of the season, holding the Golden Hawks to 137 yards of total offense, minus seven rushing yards, and scoring two touchdowns on an interception return and a fumble recovery in the end zone. Lahainaluna (9-1) now moves on to the D-II championship game for the second time in five years to face top-seeded Iolani. The game is set for 4 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 23, at Aloha Stadium.
