CPHS Volleyball: Sandites beat Rejoice Christian 2-0, place 5th at Holland Hall

August 23, 2020/ Scott Emigh

The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (7-8) hit a hiccup this weekend at the Holland Hall Invitational, going 2-4 for fifth place out seven teams.

On Friday they beat Okay 3-1 before falling 3-0 to Holland Hall and Cascia Hall. On Saturday they lost 3-2 to Claremore and 3-0 to Christian Heritage before rallying with a 2-0 sweep of Rejoice Christian in the final round.

Against Claremore they barely lost the first set 25-23 in a back and forth affair that saw twelve tie scores and seven lead changes. Jacelyn Smith and Payton Robbins scored three kills apiece in the set but took their last lead at 21-19 before the Zebras surged ahead for the win.

The Sandites won the next set 25-22. They jumped out to a quick 5-1 lead before Claremore went on a five-point run to make it 8-6. The Zebras stayed out front till 14-14 and the set tied six times before Sand Springs took the lead for good at 18-17. Layla Lenex and Sophie Singleton capped the win with a block.

Sand Springs won nine-straight rallies in set three for a 9-1 lead and though the Zebras cut it as close as 16-10, they never managed to tie it up and the Sandites coasted to a 25-16 win.

Game four was another close one at 25-23. Claremore won six in a row for the 7-4 lead and the Sandites didn’t tie it up again till 21-21 with a kill from Lenex. They traded blows till 23-23 before the Zebras secured the win. They only led twice in the tie-breaker set and after tying it at 12-12, Claremore won the final three points.

Smith and Robbins led the Sandites with 14 kills apiece in the first five-set match of the season for Sand Springs. Lenex was close behind with 11 kills, Jentry Hughes had 31 assists, and Madison Blaylock had 24 digs.

Match two was a clean sweep for Christian Heritage, who won sets of 25-10, 25-11, and 25-19. Smith served a pair of aces for the 3-1 lead in game one, but the Crusaders battled back and never again gave up the lead. The first two sets both ended on seven-point runs for Heritage. Game three was more competitive as the Sandites opened on a 4-0 run with an ace from Hughes and kills from Smith and Robbins, but the Crusaders responded with a six-point run and never trailed again. Robbins led the team with seven kills, Hughes had 11 assists, and Blaylock made 20 digs in the loss.

The final match of the round-robin tournament was delayed nearly two hours on Saturday so the teams agreed to play a best-of-three match instead of best-of-five. The Sandites won sets of 27-25 and 25-22 against Rejoice Christian (4-15) in the de facto fifth place match.

After Singleton scored the opening point of the match, Rejoice went on a four-point run and didn’t give up the lead till the very end. The Eagles scored five in a row for their biggest lead at 21-16, but the Sandites battled back to tie it three times before taking the lead at 25-24. Robbins scored back-to-back kills for the win.

The Sandites led for the majority of the second set, but both teams had their hot streaks. Olivia Dewitt scored a pair of aces in a six-point run for the Sandites at 12-6, but the Eagles had a five-point streak of their own to tie it at 14-14. It was back and forth from there but the Eagles took their last lead at 22-21 before Robbins scored a kill and Singleton made a block en rout to the win.

Robbins led the way yet again with nine kills, followed by Lenex with six. Blaylock had 12 digs and Hughes had 14 assists.

Sandite Volleyball will look to get back to a .500 record when they visit Sapulpa (7-9) Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. They previously beat the Chieftains 2-1 at the Sandite Invitational, but this match will count towards Frontier Valley Conference standings. Both teams are 0-2 in league play.

CPHS Volleyball: Sandites go 1-2 at Holland Hall Friday, beat Okay 3-1

August 21, 2020/ Scott Emigh

The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (6-6) went 1-2 Friday at the Holland Hall Tournament, winning their first match 3-1 against Okay (2-4) before falling 3-0 to Holland Hall (6-2) and Cascia Hall (8-2).

In the match against Okay, the Mustangs won the first set 25-21, thanks in part to twelve errors from the Sandites, who struggled with mistakes throughout the tournament. The game was competitive with four lead changes and five tie-scores, but the Mustangs pulled ahead for good after a four-rally run gave them the 16-13 advantage. Payton Robbins kept the Sandites alive with five kills and two aces in the set.

In game two the Mustangs surged back from a 5-1 deficit to a 9-7 lead before Sand Springs won five-straight rallies and Jacelyn Smith scored a kill to make it 12-9. Robbins and Smith scored four kills apiece in the set and Madison Blaylock had two aces in the 25-17 victory.

Game three was another back and forth affair early on before the Sandites pulled ahead with a five-rally run at 21-15. Layla Lenex showed off with four kills in the 25-18 win. The final game was a blowout for the Sandites who took a 22-10 lead and sent in the backups to coast to a 25-14 win. Charley Fahland served up three aces and Lenex had three more kills in the final set. Robbins led all scorers with 16 kills and two aces in the match.

Holland Hall capitalized on Sandite errors for a pair of 25-12 wins, and looked like they might run away with the third set as well, but Sand Springs battled back to force a close one. After losing eight-straight rallies to trail 12-5, the Sandites buckled down and tied it up at 24-24 with a four-point streak capped by a block from Sophie Singleton before falling 26-24. Robbins led the Sandites with seven kills and Lenex had six.

Cascia Hall won sets of 25-15, 25-21, and 25-10 to wrap up the day. Robbins once again led the Sandites with five kills. The Commandos posted 41 kills in the dominant win.

Jentry Hughes had one of the most impressive Sandite performances of the day. Hughes took over setting duties after Tehya Johnson suffered an injury in the Sandite Invitational. Hughes recorded 24 assists against Okay, 10 against Holland Hall, and 12 against Cascia, along with 21 digs and nine kills in the tournament so far.

Sandite Volleyball will return to action Saturday with a 10:30 a.m. match against Claremore (0-4), followed by matches against Christian Heritage (7-2) at 1:30 p.m. and Rejoice Christian (2-10) at 3:00 p.m. The first match will be played in the middle school gym, and the other two will be in the upper school gym.

Brooklyn Eardley leads Lady Sandite Soccer to Edison Tournament finals

March 31, 2016/ Guest User

Story and photo by: Virgil Noah, Marketing Director

The Charles Page High School Girls soccer team (7-1) continued their winning ways in exciting fashion on day one of the Edison Green and White Tournament. The Sandite Girls defeated the Tulsa Memorial High School Lady Chargers 4-0 to get the ball rolling. Senior midfielder Brooklyn Eardley led the way for Sand Springs with a pair of goals and an assist, with juniors Kyndal Zicker and Megan Deshazo accounting for the other scores.

As a result of the Sandites win and the Booker T. Washington High School Lady Hornets victory over the Regent Preparatory School Lady Rams, the two teams met for the second time in three days. BTW came in seeking to avenge the 2-0 loss they were dealt on Sand Springs's home turf.

After a scoreless first half, things got going early in the second. Two minutes in, Lady Hornet midfielder Jae Harris crossed in a corner to Lauren Cousins whose shot deflected off of a Sand Springs defender and scored. Booker T. would hold the lead for a very short time though, as Eardley would spin around a defender and place a pass perfectly in stride to Deshazo who tapped the ball just past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Lauren Ketchum. The Sandite girls would dominate possession for the rest of the half, but were unable to come up with another goal despite a few solid opportunities. Charles Page keeper Abigail Banks would stop the only shot that came her way in the second half, sending the game to penalty kicks tied 1-1.

BTW led things off with a successful penalty kick and Zicker quickly tied it at 1 apiece. The second Lady Hornet PK hit the crossbar and Deshazo put the Sandites on top. A diving save by Banks put Sand Springs in prime position to seal things but a save on Jae Anthony-Wilson's penalty and a miss by Marissa Doll opened things back up for Washington who tied things up at 2 heading into the final round. The final kick for BTW was saved by Banks though, and Eardley sealed things for CPHS by calmly netting her shot for the win.

The Lady Sandites will get a one-day break while the boys' tournament goes on, then will confront Edison, the host team, Saturday evening at 6:30 pm. The Lady Eagles are 3-4 for the season after defeating Pryor and Cascia Hall each 1-0 in the early rounds of the tournament.

9 Sandites remain at State, only slightly behind Broken Arrow and Choctaw

February 26, 2016/ Scott Emigh

By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief

The remaining Sandites have about an hour long break before the next round begins at the 6A State Championship in Oklahoma City.

Charles Page wrestling qualified eleven for the tournament with seven Regional Champions, more than either Broken Arrow or the Dual State Champions from Choctaw. Unfortunately 220 pound junior and Regional Champion Delvin Jordan was unable to participate dropping the number to nine.

106 freshman Riley Weir (20-12) came in third at Regionals and was pitted against Choctaw's Colt Newton (40-3) in the first round and was pinned in 0:41. From there he was majored 14-4 by Yukon's Braden Fowler and eliminated.

113 Regional Champion Michael Ritchey (22-16) was defeated in round one by Westmoore's Wes Hardin (31-11) by a narrow 5-2 decision but managed to hold the lead in the next match for a 5-3 victory over Spencer Schickram (14-9) of Ponca City.

120 Regional Champion Blake Sargent (36-10) went into overtime with Zackery Bibb (24-5) of Capitol Hill and lost 4-2 in the tie breaker round. He fell in an early hole to Justin Gundlach (29-11) of Moore and trailed 3-2 going into the final period, but rallied for a takedown and pin at 5:14 to stay alive in the consolation bracket.

126 two-time undefeated State Champion Daton Fix (44-0) pinned Bobby Robinson (30-13) of Deer Creek in 1:37.

132 Regional Champion Jack Karstetter (38-7) breezed through his first match with a 17-2 tech fall over Norman's Jeffrey Adams (23-12) in 5:42.

138 Regional Champion Beau Bratcher (40-6) pinned Choctaw's Jeff Speer (23-10) in 4:48.

145 Regional Champion Payton Scott (18-4) pinned Westmoore's Trey Painter (32-10) in 3:52.

160 Regional Runner-Up Zane Basma (32-11) scored an 8-3 decision over Sam Hensley (31-13) of Edmond Memorial.

170 Trace Fleischman (10-4) placed fourth at Regionals but rebounded big time at State with a 3-1 upset of West Regional Champion Jacob Schimmels (23-6) of Edmond.

The top three teams are as close now as they have been all season with Broken Arrow at 25.5, Choctaw at 25, and Sand Springs at 23.5.

The semi finals will begin at 7:15.

Beau Bratcher places first at Bobby Lyons Invitational

January 18, 2016/ Ed Dubie Fieldhouse/ Scott Emigh

By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief

Despite sitting out several key starters, the Charles Page High School wrestling squad was still more than capable of finishing third at their home tournament behind the #1 teams in 6A and 5A. After upsetting the #1 Broken Arrow Tigers Thursday night, the most important thing for the Sandites to do now is remain healthy for Regionals, State, and Dual State. #8 Riley Weir, John Jiminez, #2 Trace Fleischman, #7 Lane Lettich, and Delvin Jordan all set out the tournament to rest and recover, and several backups got to see their first varsity action of the season.

(Part Four of Five...)

#2 Beau Bratcher (26-4) was the victor of 138, pinning Cascia Hall's Miles Waller in 2:37 and Ponca City's Nenebah Biggoose in 1:05. Broken Arrow's Blake Mattioda gave Bratcher the closest run for his money, only giving up a 4-1 decision, but Bratcher prevailed against both him and #4 Brody Perciful (Ponca City) in the finals with a 5-0 decision for his first championship of the season.

Gavin Garcia (0-2) made his varsity debut wrestling unattached at 145, but had to take on #8 Gabe Evans, a state qualifier from Union in the first round and was teched 16-1 in 4:58. The next battle was much closer, but Jimi Cerre of Ponca got the 5-0 decision for the win.

145 #10 Cody Mathis (8-7) had one of the highest-scoring matches of the night, running up a 17-14 decision over Barnsdall's Colten Allen, then pinned Cerre in 4:53. In the next round, however, he was defeated 5-0 by 5A State Runner-Up Justin Walker of Collinsville and bumped to the consolation bracket. Saturday morning Mathis had to take on Evans and was overcame 9-2, but he rebounded with a narrow 3-2 victory over Jacob Waits (Sperry) for a 5th Place finish.

At 152 #2 Payton Scott (11-3) defeated Wesley Yarber (Barnsdall) 9-3 and pinned James Ott of Grapevine, TX in 1:31. Union's #5 Christian Mayhue battled valiantly before falling 5-3 to land Scott a spot in the finals against Elijah Tanner of Collinsville. Unfortunately, Scott aggravated an injury and forfeited his last match to settle for second place. Earlier this season Scott defeated Tanner 7-6 and Tanner defeated Scott 3-1 at Geary.

Daton Fix places first at Bobby Lyons Invitational, remains undefeated

January 17, 2016/ Scott Emigh

By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief

(Part Three of Five...)

At 132 #1 Daton Fix (26-0) worked his usual magic, pinning Bartlesville's Ian Hallaway in 1:01, then accepted a forfeit from Chandler Bryant of Barnsdall. #8 Dillon Wingo may be an outstanding wrestler, but few are a match for the #3 wrestler in the nation. The Broken Arrow wrestler was teched 26-11 in only 4:15, setting up Fix for one of the toughest matches of his high school career. 3A State Champion Tanner Skidgel of Cascia Hall actually took charge at the beginning of the match--briefly. Ultimately Fix found his mojo and pulled ahead for an 11-3 major decision, but that in itself is a testament to the incredible talent of Skidgel. Of Fix's 26 matches this season, 19 were decided by either pin or tech fall.

Sage Singleton (0-2) got to see his first varsity action, wrestling unattached at 138. In his first match, he was pitted against #4 Brody Perciful of Ponca City and pinned in 1:02, then narrowly gave up a 5-4 decision to Wyatt Coffman of Oologah.
