Luna was a star basketball player for Bishop in the 1990’s and since then has coached the Bishop girls basketball team to three State tournament appearances (2021, 2022, 2026), 6 regional tournament appearances in the last 5 years, 19 playoffs, 12 district titles and 67 consecutive district wins.

During the 2026 season Luna and the Lady Badgers fell to Hitchcock in the UIL 3A-DI State Semifinal 63-49. This was Luna's message to the team after the game.

"These seniors have been through a lot of tough times in my life, you know, they were here though," Luna said. "When I was at rock bottom, when I was struggling to come to work, but they were the reasons why I came to work and I pushed through. They are leaders on the floor, they are leaders in the classroom and they're leaders in the community."
