PUKALANI — It may have been the biggest boys volleyball win in the history of Lahainaluna High School.
It is certain that no one in the King Kekaulike gym could remember a bigger one than the Lunas’ 25-22, 19-25, 25-23 victory over Kalaheo in the first round of the New City Nissan Division I State Championships on Wednesday.
When Paul Salvador — one of only three returnees from last season for the Lunas — pushed a dink over the net that the Mustangs could not handle on the final point, Lahainaluna had its first state-tournament victory since at least 1984, the last time they were in the state tournament until they went 0-2 last season.
‘‘I think that is the school’s first state-tournament win,’’ coach Tommy Akima said after his team improved to 6-5. ‘‘I know we didn’t win last year and I know we haven’t been here since 1984 before last year and I don’t think they won any then.’’
