Imagine loosing here and then having to study for a biology test tomorrow

[@1stSeedVolleyball]

roughhh🤣 They did end off the season as the second best team in the U.S.!

[@DHN669]

Mira costa volleyball is something else. Their girls team is also on 🔥. So good

[@1stSeedVolleyball]

Yes! Setter for the girls team was incredible

[@DHN669]

Yes! Charlie? Isn’t she going to Wisconsin? She’s really good

[@therom1889]

this is insane talent for highschool volleyball

[@1stSeedVolleyball]

definitely, its pretty rare that you see a sold out crowd for a high school volleyball game. These kids can play!

[@miky0926]

honestly, as a middle myself, the quicks were spot on and amazing. this team has so much potential, and power but is lacking in significant ereas such as defense and commuication. they could work on some serving and ball placement aswell. This applies for both teams! GREAT GAME!!!

[@1stSeedVolleyball]

Mira Costa's middles were unstoppable! Definitely one of their teams' many strengths

[@diegomurillo7705]

the size of the crowd for this being a highschool game is crazy (you can even spot some big names in ncaa vb like Wes Smith from USC in 13:03)

[@1stSeedVolleyball]

They even had high ranked college/National team scouts in the crowd as well. Never seen something like that

[@CnHPureCaneSugar1]

It's amazing that a 4 set game is really only 29 minutes of actual playing time.

[@1stSeedVolleyball]

that's why I cut out all the fluff😎

4:14 Wow. Good tricky play

[@1stSeedVolleyball]

Jump set had everyone like 🤯

[@Rogue_Builds]

their topspin’s were so weak, every other aspect of the game was pretty elite for high school, but they topspin like they are hitting floats

[@1stSeedVolleyball]

Im sure they'll turn it up and get more consistent when they hit college!. Loyola OH has a solid serve though, could tell he was trying to keep it in to let his team play

[@eric-yo6sm]

Where is your high school? Most in SoCal do have volleyball

[@sald00mvaughn57]

4 for mira costa was not hitting too well, surprised hes going to long beach but he also looked tired so idk

[@noeldoumerc1164]

Agreed who is #4. Played well below his potential. Maybe just an off night. He served well though.

[@daddyshark3415]

sometimes when you play you just don’t have a good day here and there😭still one of the standout players imo tho

[@liamf-b961]

he just approaches way too far forward, makes it so he can't even see the block in front of him if he's hitting the ball right above his head, someone needs to tell him that fs

[@Lucalaurin]

He was struggling a lot when the set was even slightly off. I think his percentage here was barely reaching 30. He managed to serve consistently even in a high pressure situation but his serve is not looking very dangerous. I think Costa managed to catch up because it's their strongest blocking and attacking rotation with the tall Oppo in front and the better attacking OH.

[@Lucalaurin]

Upon paying more attention to him I have to say that he is a good blocker with an impressive vertical. So there's good potential there.

[@chrispintv1638]

Great game. Is this the varsity team?

[@1stSeedVolleyball]

Yes it is! Both are among the top 3 ranked in the U.S.. ranking are always changing though!

Is it normal in US HS volley to not switch sides?

Yup! Post Covid they have not been switching sides

[@Lucalaurin]

@@1stSeedVolleyball ah interesting! I guess it makes a lot of practicalities easier and doesn't affect the game that much anyway.

Newport Harbor might have something to say about that.

omg😂

[@liamf-b961]

bruh, if costa fed #13 instead of #4 it would've been much better, he got most of their kills

[@1stSeedVolleyball]

I feel like Loyola shifted their blockers toward #4 because it is one of their best players so he always had a double block on him which made it tough. 13 was going off though

[@liamf-b961]

@@1stSeedVolleyball #4 just wasn't hitting the ball, he approached way too far forward and way too fast, made it harder for himself.

Why would you have your libero serve? He probably has the weakest serve of the team 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Quinn.CVB2026]

because it’s fun

[@Quinn.CVB2026]

also brings a variety of serves, (lib usually does a float) compared to topspin
