CPHS Volleyball: Defending State Champs spoil undefeated Sandite home streak

The Class 6A No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (16-12) held the longest home winning streak in the division coming into their Thursday night match against 5A No. 4 Bishop Kelley (15-10). They amassed a 10-0 record over six weeks at the Ed Dubie Field House before falling 3-0 to the defending 5A State Champions. The only other 6A teams yet to lose on their home court are No. 4 Norman North (19-8 overall, 8-0 home) and No. 3 Edmond Memorial (20-5, 5-0).

Bishop Kelley took an early 4-0 lead against a passive home team, but the Sandites soon woke up and made things competitive as their visitors struggled with accuracy. Comet misfires coupled with kills from Vanessa Wyrick and Devree Youngblood tied it at 6-6 and 8-8 before the home team jumped out to an 11-9 lead with kills from Youngblood and McKenzie Harris. Caitlin Ozment and Eleanor Percy combined on a block to tie it at 11-11, and the Comets quickly ran away with it. The home team only scored three more points on their own merit and Kelley ended on a 9-1 run for the win.

Sand Springs took a 4-2 lead in game two, entirely on Comet errors, before giving up a five-point run. They trailed the Comets for the entire set but kept the visitors on their toes, cutting it as close as 23-21 before giving up the loss.

The Comets streaked past the Sandites in game three in the only blowout set of the night. Sand Springs led twice early on before the visitors went on an insurmountable twelve-point run to make it 16-6. Sand Springs had a five-point run late in the set with a pair of kills from Payton Robbins, but the match was too far gone by that point.

Youngblood, an Oklahoma Baptist University-commit, led the Sandites with 11 kills and had 7 digs. Madison Blaylock and Raylynn Mong had a team-high 8 digs, and Mong led in assists with 9. Ozment led the Comets with 13 kills, closely followed by Reese Simpler with 10.

Sand Springs will return to conference action Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with a home match against No. 9 Owasso (14-12). The Comets will also host Owasso, Monday at 6:00 p.m.

The Class 6A No. 11 ranked Charles Page High School varsity football team (1-2) will kick off district action Friday at 7:00 p.m. when they host No. 13 Shawnee (1-2). The Sandite Homecoming Court will be introduced at 6:30 p.m. prior to the game.

Prior to the game, the Church That Matters Tailgate Crew will be selling hot dogs, burgers, and chicken sandwiches with chips and a drink for $6.00 as a fundraiser for Sandite Wrestling.

The Programs

Sand Springs is coming off a 3-7 season but prior to that was riding a program-best six straight years of playoff appearances. They are 64-69 (.481) under thirteenth-year Head Coach Dustin Kinard. The Sandites own one gold ball, from 1966, and made their last State Finals appearance in 2015.

Shawnee went 2-8 last year in their first season at the 6A-II level. They went 6-4 in 5A in 2017 and last made the playoffs in 2016. Sixteenth-year Head Coach Bill Brown is 93-74 (.556) at Shawnee. They own two gold balls from 1973 and 2003.

The two teams have only met seven times and Sand Springs leads the series 5-2. They met annually from 1992-1997 during the first six years of Class 6A. The Wolves won the first meeting, but Sand Springs ran the series until their reunion last year.

10/30/1992: Shawnee 21-14 (A)
10/29/1993: Sand Springs 14-0 (H)
11/4/1994: Sand Springs 18-6 (A)
11/3/1995: Sand Springs 20-7 (H)
9/27/1996: Sand Springs 36-0 (A)
9/26/1997: Sand Springs 35-0 (H)
9/21/2018: Shawnee 23-20 (A, OT)

Last year the Sandites were upset 23-20 in a rainy chilly overtime battle. Senior quarterback Caden Pennington was held to a 5-11-79-1 passing performance due to the rain, but was 18-78 with two touchdowns on the ground. Joel Mackey bore the brunt of the offense with 30 carries for 251 yards and a score.

The weather contributed to a sloppy game that saw three fumbles with one lost, two failed PATs, a red zone turnover on downs, and a red zone interception. On fourth-and-goal from the six, in overtime, Pennington had a wide open running lane but slipped in the wet grass. The Sandite defense forced an easy three-and-out but Shawnee kicked a field goal to win the game.

This Season

Both teams are 1-2 after non-district action. Sand Springs fell 41-7 to Mansfield Summit (4-0), won 35-0 against Putnam City (0-3), then fell 50-20 to Greenwood (3-0). The Sandites own the No. 11 offense, No. 11 defense, and No. 11 margin of victory in Class 6A-II.

Shawnee fell 49-21 to Choctaw (2-1), defeated Guthrie (1-2) 33-23, then fell 40-13 to Carl Albert (3-0). The Wolves own the No. 9 offense, No. 14 defense, and No. 13 margin of victory in the division.

CPHS Volleyball: Sandites fall 3-1 to No. 14 Union on the road, Campfield scores 15

The Class 6A No. 14 ranked Union High School volleyball team (9-19, 5-2) beat No. 12 Sand Springs (16-11, 4-3) in a crucial Frontier Valley Conference match Tuesday evening. The Redskins won 3-1 in sets of 25-14, 17-25, 25-21, and 25-18.

The home team rolled to a handy 25-14 win the first set of the night. Sand Springs’s only lead came on a Madison Burris kill for the first point of the match. Ashlynn Cunningham gave Union the lead once and for all. Things stayed fairly close till a 6-1 Union run made it 15-9. Burris and Madison Blaylock scored kills, Union won six more, Cloe Campfield and Payton Robbins scored kills, then Union closed out on a four-point run capped by a Maddi LaPointe block for the win.

The Sandites came back in set two for a 25-17 win. Devree Youngblood and Campfield scored four kills apiece in the set. Union led by as much as 13-9 after a six-point run, but McKenzie Harris, Campfield, Jacelyn Smith, and Burris scored kills and Raylynn Mong served an ace in a seven-point run for the 21-16 Sandite advantage. Mia Martin broke up the run, but Burris kicked off a four-point streak for the Sandite victory.

Sophomore standout Tierney Jackson scored four-straight kills to start the third set with a 5-1 Union advantage. Campfield broke up the Redskin run with a kill, but Jackson kicked off a 9-1 run for a ten-point lead. Sand Springs tried to rally, cutting it to 24-21 after a Campfield ace and Burris kill, but Martin knocked down a kill for the win. Campfield scored five kills in the set, but Jackson had six for the home team.

Union trailed 13-12 in set four after a block from Payton Robbins and Vanessa Wyrick, but won nine-straight rallies and coasted to the win.

Jackson led all scorers with 19 kills, followed by Campfield with 15. Burris had a double-double for the Sandites with 16 assists and 16 digs. Blaylock led in digs with 22, and tied Campfield with 3 aces.

The loss knocked Sand Springs to fifth in Conference standings, while Union moved up to fourth. The two teams each have two conference matches remaining.

Both teams will host non-conference rematches Thursday with teams they lost to at the Union Invitational last month. Sand Springs will play 5A No. 4 Bishop Kelley (14-10) at 6:00 p.m. They fell 3-0 (25-18, 25-18, 25-16) in their last meeting with the Comets.
