CPHS Volleyball: Sandites fall 3-0 to Broken Arrow in season debut

The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of the defending Frontier Valley Conference Champions Tuesday evening in Broken Arrow, losing in sets of 25-9, 25-10, and 25-13.

“We played a really good team in Broken Arrow,” said first-year Head Coach Derek Jackson. “They played above their norm and we played below ours, not a good combination.”

Things started fairly even with Vanessa Wyrick and Devree Youngblood combining on a block, followed by a pair of early kills from Madison Burris and Cloe Campfield. But the home team quickly found their legs and won six straight rallies for a 16-7 lead. An error and a kill from Youngblood gave the Sandites their last points of the set, then the Tigers won the remaining nine rallies. Macy Blackburn led all scorers with five kills in the game.

The second set was equally lopsided in the Tigers’ favor, though the runs were never quite as long. Natalie Morales and Haylie Jones combined for five aces, while Youngblood had her best round for Sand Springs with three kills and an assist. Sand Springs kept up through most of the third game and was only down 11-8 before the Tigers went on a six-point run and never looked back.

“We had some good moments and some great rallies with them,” said Jackson. “Got to string them together a little more often.”

Youngblood and Campfield scored five kills apiece, followed by sophomore Jacelyn Smith with four. Madison Burris and Raylynn Mong each recorded four assists, while Smith and Sophie Singleton had two blocks apiece. Youngblood led the defense with four digs.

Broken Arrow will compete in the Norman Tournament this Friday, while the Sandites will host Okay (1-0) in their home opener Thursday.

CPHS Volleyball Season Preview: Q&A with first-year Head Coach Derek Jackson

Seniors Madison Burris and Devree Youngblood will likely be among the leading contributors this season.

The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team will kick off its season Tuesday evening at Broken Arrow, and will host their first home game Thursday against Okay. Both games will start at 6:30 p.m.

The Sandites are coming off a 7-18 season under Sydney Bond in her first and only season with the black and gold. The girls went 5-4 for 5th Place in the Frontier Valley Conference.

First-year Head Coach Derek Jackson went 35-26 in two seasons at Clinton High School, falling one round short of the State Tournament both years.

Which players do you expect to be leaders this season?

“All my seniors, I think are good role models both on and off the court.”

Which newcomers do you expect to make a difference?

“Olivia Dewitt, Payton Robbins, and Sophie Singleton have shown glimpses of brilliance during the summer.”

Strengths and weaknesses going into the season?

“Our strengths include having plenty of seasoned and smart seniors leading us. Our weakness might be getting over the idea that we are a sub .500 team every year.”

What type of offense will you be running?

“Much more up-tempo style than in years past.”

Goals/Expectations for the year?

“I expect to have a much more close-knit group that plays as a team and loves competing. A couple goals I have set out is to finish in the top half of the conference, which will not be easy but it’s where we want our name to start being. Also, to have a combined 6 wins in tournament play for the year.”

Do you have any particular teams circled on the schedule?

“Always circle Sapulpa for obvious rivalry implications. Home games, as well as our home tournament. Try to defend home court as best as possible.”

Sand Springs has only had one winning season in recent years, and even then they didn’t make State. How do you plan to build a championship-contending culture in Sand Springs, and what tools/help will you need from the community to make it happen?

“We would like to have a winning season and begin something special here. We need numbers in each grade who want to play to rise, especially in the middle school levels. Competing in the club scene definitely helps high school programs become more competitive. Lastly, just for fans to show up and support us, make some noise, and have some fun with us!”

What has been your offseason approach as far as club/summer league? Are regular season players required to play in the summer?

“We competed in the Catoosa and Owasso Summer Leagues where we did finish very well. We also took the entire high school program to Branson to compete in a team camp, where we all got a lot better and grew together. We then finished the summer at the Arkansas University Team Camp and competed in a team camp at Springdale Har-Ber High School. Both of which, we saw some solid teams and were able to compete with them all. Very busy but productive summer.”

Do you have a particular coaching style/philosophy?

“I like to have energy and be loud, which stems from the passion for the game that I have. I like to play up-temp if possible and serve tough.”

Who are some of your coaching influences?

“Jarne Carrol was such a great mentor for me when I first began. She helped me understand the game and understand the importance a coach has on the athletes. I still call her for pointers or to just talk volleyball.”

Do you expect 6A to be much different from 4A?

“6A is a different level of competition from 4A but it’s no different in that you have to play well every night to win games. The biggest difference is the conference we are in. We have some real solid teams in Jenks, Owasso, and Broken Arrow, all of which I think have the potential to go to state this year.”

What has been your impression of the Sandite community so far?

“The booster club and (Athletic Director Rod Sitton) have been nothing but supportive in helping me get this program headed in the right direction. My principal at Clyde Boyd, Nancy Ogle, has really helped bring me into the group and help the mid-year transition. I look forward to seeing what kind of student section and fan support we get this year.”

What is your life like outside of coaching/teaching? Hobbies, interests, family?

“I coach school and club volleyball, which roughly is a year-round thing. I do enjoy going two-stepping and gardening when I have the time. If I can squeeze a nap in, it’s a pretty good day.”

(Tulsa) - The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (7-17) got off to a rough start in their final match of the regular season Monday, but ultimately prevailed 3-1 against Booker T. Washington (5-12).

The first set was a sloppy mess for both teams as the two combined for only thirteen kills against thirty errors. Sand Springs started 3-0 before giving up five straight. They trailed till 12-11 when Devree Youngblood capped a four-point run with a kill.

The Hornets quickly reclaimed their advantage and didn’t relinquish it again till another four-point run at 20-19. Jackie Patton gave her team the 22-20 lead, the Sandites tied it, then Patton scored a kill and a block en route to the 25-22 victory.

Game two was much cleaner for both teams and the visitors prevailed 25-19 despite committing eleven total errors with five on the serve. The set started with a rocky exchange but the Hornets took their only lead at 3-2 before Sand Springs surged ahead to a 13-5 advantage.

The teams exchanged kills till 16-8, then the Hornets rattled off four straight, capped by Kaya Neal to make it 16-12. It was a tight back-and-forth from there with neither team winning more than two rallies in row, and Youngblood sealed the win with an assist from Madison Burris. Vanessa Wyrick led all scorers with four kills.

The Sandites played their smoothest game in set three, winning 25-11 despite only scoring eight kills. Youngblood, Gillian Wicker, and Cheyenne Henry scored aces, Youngblood had a block, and the team committed only three errors.

Booker T rallied from a 4-2 deficit to a 7-4 lead in game four and held the frontline till a block from Henry and Burris made it 17-16. Henry and Cloe Campfield notched kills to cap a five point run with a 19-16 lead before the teams traded service errors.

Four-straight Sandite errors let the Hornets back into the game with a 21-20 home lead, Wyrick tied it, then the Hornets got their last point on a Sandite error before their visitors rattled off four points for the win. Burris iced the cake on a tipped ball.
