CPHS Volleyball: Sandites sweep Edison 2-0, lose to Bishop Kelley Red

The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (4-3) lost Tehya Johnson to an ankle injury on Friday, but still managed a 2-0 sweep of Edison Prep (2-4) Saturday morning at the Ed Dubie Field House. They lost their second match 2-0 to Bishop Kelley Red, however. The Sandites are now 4-2 in their round-robin home tournament with one match left.

Madison Fowler and Jacelyn Smith scored a pair of kills to start the match against Edison and Allie Wright served an ace to make it 4-0 before the Eagles got on the board. Smith scored five kills and two aces in the set and the Sandites never trailed in the 25-11 win.

Edison won the opening rally of round two on a Sandite error, but two more aces from Smith and a kill from Layla Lenex made it 4-1 and the home team only relinquished their lead once at 5-5. Jentry Hughes had a pair of aces to make it 9-5 and the Sandites soon began to run away with it. Payton Robbins got hot late in the set with three straight kills, and Smith secured the victory at 25-14.

Smith led all scorers with eight kills and four aces, followed by Robbins with five kills. Madison Blaylock had a team-high 13 digs, and Wright had a team-high ten assists. Sand Springs committed 13 errors while the Eagles had 18.

In the match against the Comets, Sand Springs was competitive through the first set but was ultimately derailed by 12 errors in the 25-17 loss. Robbins was on fire early in the round, earning four of the Sandites’ first five points, but the home team had its last lead at 5-4. The second game was fairly lopsided as the Sandites committed ten errors with only two kills and never led in the 25-12 defeat. Robbins had a team-high five kills and one ace in the loss, while Smith had four kills.

Sand Springs will return to action at 2:00 p.m. against Northeast Oklahoma Association of Homeschoools (NOAH) in the final round of the tournament.
