The Lunas battled long and hard on Day 2 and overall, 6 of 8 players advanced to Championship matches tomorrow: It will be an All-Lahainaluna Girls Singles' Final as cousins Joanna Aceret and Shania Abut will vie for the championship. Joanna's
sister Nicole Aceret and Joey Uzzanti will be taking on the defending-MIL champions Ikioka and Kato from Kamehameha Maui for the MIL Girls Doubles championship. In Boys Doubles, Max Linder and Jarret Pascual will take on Baldwin's Kaiwi and Guzman. Charvie Duque and Maile Amine lost a tough 3 set match to a team from Seabury, but may still have a shot to make it to States in the round robin. Good luck to the Lunas tomorrow at Royal Lahaina!
