Rested Lunas primed for MIL title run
Over the past two weeks, the Lady Lunas of Lahainaluna had nothing to gain with another win.
The Maui Interscholastic League regular-season title had long been clinched, so coach Todd Rickard executed a plan to rest his starters a tad and play his reserves more. The longtime coach also let his injured players heal and put extra emphasis on bookwork.
The result? A few more wins, a narrow loss to Maui and a healthy crew of Lunas as the MIL playoffs tip off this week.
Lahainaluna moved up a notch to No. 8 in today's Star-Bulletin Girls Basketball Top 10 and awaits the Kamehameha-Maui/King Kekaulike winner on Thursday. Winning the tourney this week would assure the Lunas the overall MIL title and the league's seeded berth in the state tournament.
"The girls know what is at stake this week," Rickard said. "We try to keep them focused, but they knew the (recent) games weren't going to be a factor in the regular-season championship. Now they know this week is something they really need to focus on."
The turbulent swings of momentum across the state caught the coach's eye.
"Every time I read an article, it looks like one team is doing well, then they're losing. I don't know what to expect," he said of the BIIF, ILH and OIA.
