CPHS Volleyball: Jenks knocks off Sand Springs 3-0

Sand Springs - The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (4-12, 3-1) suffered a 3-0 sweep at the hands of 6A No. 7 ranked Jenks (7-6) Tuesday evening at the Ed Dubie Field House, but it was far from a beat down. After losing a tough 25-14 first set the Sandites kept the Trojans on their toes in the next two. 

Sand Springs benefited from a pair of Jenks errors before falling in a 4-2 hole in set two. The Trojans scored a pair of blocks and the Sandites had a hard time keeping their powerful attacks in the court. After some quick adjustments they soon began to battle back.

A kill from Rachel Hines tied it up at 9-9 and a pair of Jenks errors gave the home team the lead till kills from Alana Broedel and Sophie Bufogle flipped the script at 16-14. Sand Springs led once more at 18-17, but Jenks took advantage of Sandite communication errors and only gave up one more point on a tipped ball from Madison Burris.

The final set was the closest of the three and the Sandites led on several occasions with eight tie scores. Cheyenne Henry and McKenzie Harris combined for a block to lead 14-13 before the Trojans claimed the edge for the duration of the bout. Jenks won the final set 25-21.

Sand Springs Volleyball will return to action Thursday at 6:30 p.m. with a non-conference road game at 5A No. 5 Coweta (10-2).
