When it comes to high school volleyball, one of the fiercest rivalries in California the last several years has been between Marymount and Mission League rival Sierra Canyon, two of the premiere programs in the state and perennial CIF champiosnhip contenders. The teams face off today at 5:30 in Chatsworth for the second of two league meetings and the Sailors are looking to avenge a five-set loss on their home court Sept. 24. Both teams are ranked in the top five in the CIF Southern Section.
Coached by Palisadian Cari Klein and paced by junior starting libero Declan Eastman (a Rice commit), Pepperdine-bound senior hitter Ryan Gilhooly, junior middle blocker Jordan Johnson and sophomore defensive specialist Karys Campos (all four girls play for Sunshine Volleyball Club), the Sailors have won 10 section crowns under Klein since 1998.
