CPHS Volleyball: Sandites end season in 3-0 loss to Southmoore

The Class 6A No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (18-14) suffered a season-ending upset Tuesday evening in Norman, falling 3-0 to unranked Southmoore (11-21) in the first round of the Regional Tournament. The Sabercats went on to fall 3-1 to the host team from No. 5 Norman North (22-10), who won its sixth-consecutive Regional title.

Southmoore won sets of 25-22, 25-14, and 25-19 against Sand Springs. Norman North swept U.S. Grant 25-3, 25-4, and 25-9, then beat Southmoore 25-23, 25-13, and 25-20, while giving up the third set 25-20.

The Sabercats came out hard and fast against Sand Springs, taking a 6-0 lead behind kills from Emma Coburn, Myra Cartmill, Emma Upthegrove, and Kiaya Jordan. The Sandites outscored their foes 22-19 for the remainder of the set, but were unable to overcome the early deficit. Southmoore led by as much as 24-17 before Devree Youngblood scored three kills to aid a five-point run, cutting it to 24-22. Jordan knocked down the match point.

The Sandites had a stronger start in game two, taking a 4-2 lead with kills from Vanessa Wyrick and Cloe Campfield. Heather Brumley kicked off a 9-1 run for the resurgent Sabercats who coasted to a 25-14 win.

Jordan posted a kill and Upthegrove served an ace for a 2-0 start and Southmoore never trailed in set three. Upthegrove secured the 25-19 win on a tipped ball to complete the sweep.

Youngblood, an Oklahoma Baptist University commit, led all scorers with 14 kills and 14 digs for her third-consecutive double-double. Madison Burris led the Sandites with 12 assists, closely followed by Raylynn Mong with 11. Myra Cartmill led the Sabercats with 12 kills and Jordan had 11.

Norman North will advance to the eight-team State Tournament quarterfinals Monday at Claremore High School.
