Lionel Gannon saw the ups and downs from inside the building.
Moanalua's 2026 campaign was lively, and even with solid success in preseason tournaments, there was no obvious reason to believe Na Menehune would shock the world.
The team grew stronger, turned errors into lessons and ended the OIA's state-championship drought. Gannon was more than the best player on the best team. He was unflappable, doing all the little things with excellence as Moanalua became the first non-ILH program to win a state ******* le since 1979.
The 6-foot-3 outside hitter's state-tournament numbers were efficient and crucial.
>> 19 kills (.424), 1.5 blocks, one ace and four digs in a three-set quarterfinal win over Hawaii Baptist
