View fullsize

The Class 6A No. 18 ranked Charles Page High School volleyball team (19-14) fielded a full roster for the first time in weeks Thursday evening, and Payton Robbins returned to action with a team-best seven kills in a 3-0 sweep of 5A No. 12 Collinsville (13-18) at the Ed Dubie Field House. It was the final match of the regular season, and the final home match, and it propelled the Sandites to their winningest record since 2016.

The Sandites committed only five errors in set one, while the Cardinals committed 11 in a lopsided 25-13 defeat. Collinsville won the opening rally, but Sophie Singleton tied it with a kill and Jacelyn Smith scored two aces in a five-point run to take the lead once and for all. The Cardinals scored three-straight aces to draw as close as 7-6, but Sand Springs responded with an 8-1 run and closed on a four-point streak.

Game two was far more competitive with Collinsville leading as late as 13-12, but Kasidy Holland scored a kill to tie it, Charley Fahland aced, and Smith scored a block in a five-point run to reclaim the advantage. Olivia Dewitt scored two aces in a four-point run to secure the 25-17 win.

Game three was the closest as the teams took turns going on hot streaks with eight lead-changes in the set. Sand Springs rallied from a 13-9 deficit with a six-point streak, then Collinsville rallied from an 18-14 deficit with a six-point streak of their own. Dewitt scored two more aces in a four-point run and Sand Springs never trailed again.

Eight different Sandites scored kills in a balanced offensive, and four had aces. Smith tied her season-best performance of seven aces, Teyha Johnson had 13 assists, and Madison Blaylock had 13 digs. Singleton scored a team-best four blocks.

Sandite Volleyball will return to action Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. in the Regional playoffs. Sand Springs will play No. 13 Union (15-10) at Jenks in a rematch of their 3-1 Tuesday loss. Collinsville will play No. 20 East Central (13-21) Monday at 6:00 p.m. in the 5A Regional hosted at Skiatook.
