Sean Kelly and Loyola get the better of Tread Rosenthal and Mira Costa in a dominant 25-14, 25-19, 25-19 rivalry win.
Loyola High’s tower of terror took flight, the 6-foot-7 Sean Kelly’s full momentum bending into a spike that had brutal intentions. Rising in his way was another giant, Mira Costa’s 6-foot-8 setter Tread Rosenthal, attempting a block. No matter.
In another era of the timeless Loyola-Mira Costa rivalry, of clean-shaven Cubs walking in wearing suits and ties and Mustangs entering with mustaches and Hawaiian shirts, that deafening first-set spike might’ve warranted a skirmish. Before club volleyball emerged, Loyola coach Michael Boehle said, these two teams would walk into the gym hating each other.“The tactics that were played — I’d get up from a timeout,” Boehle recalled, “and there’d be Gatorade all over the seat.
A timeless rivalry has become a game among buddies rather than a war of enemies. But behind a rollicking student section that stampeded a box of cookies into the hardwood at host-site Loyola Marymount, Loyola swept Mira Costa 25-14, 25-19, 25-19 in a dominant win — proving the spirit of a historic game is more alive than ever.Long the Cubs’ home site for the Mira Costa-Loyola rivalry match, the game hadn’t been played at LMU since 2016 thanks to scheduling conflicts and COVID-19.
The energy was “unreal,” Kelly said. And humble as he was postgame, Loyola’s “Captain America” — as the student section dubbed him — put together a similarly unreal performance. After his exclamation-point spike in a dominant first set, he went off for eight kills in the second, flying across the court for shots from the back row.
