The Sandites played with their winning formula, starting an all senior lineup in game one, and the changes hindered their flow. The Wildcats jumped out to an early advantage with five straight rallies before Raylynn Mong put the home team on the board. Ponca took an 8-1 lead with three blocks, two kills, and an ace from Hannah Gibson. Devree Youngblood notched a kill after a Sandite timeout and the two teams traded blows for a while, but Ponca soon began to run away with it, taking their biggest lead of the set at 18-7. The home team rallied late in the game, cutting it to 24-17, but a Sandite service error gave Ponca the game.

Ponca committed only four errors in the first set, but committed four in game two before they ever scored a point. Madison Burris won the opening rally with a kill and Youngblood added one of her own in a 6-0 start before Naomi Gertken broke up the run. Things got competitive from there and Ponca cut it as close as 12-9 before Youngblood got hot with three kills in four rallies. Burris notched a kill to kick off a six point run shortly before the Sandites secured a 25-13 win.

Gibson served up an ace and an error to start the third set and Lindsay Hollis gave the Wildcats their last lead at 2-1 and it was the Sandite show from there on. The home team went on runs of three, five, and six for a 17-8 lead before the game devolved into a blow for blow exchange. Jacelyn Smith knocked down the game point at 25-15.

The final set was another dominant Sandite victory. The home team took an 8-2 lead with two four-point runs, and ended on a six-point run with three aces from Burris for the 25-11 win.

Youngblood notched her sixth double-double of the season with 12 kills and 15 digs. Mong led the team in assists with 14, and tied Youngblood with 15 digs. Burris scored 7 kills, 13 assists, 7 blocks, and 5 aces, and Campfield had 10 kills. Hollis led the Wildcats with 9 kills, followed by KaSanda Lyons with 7. Sabrina Green had a team-high four blocks.

The Sandites will return to action Tuesday at Bixby (5-22, 3-4) in their final match of the regular season. Ponca will travel to No. 1 Broken Arrow (26-2) next Thursday. Regional pairings are set to be released next Wednesday, with tournaments to be played Tuesday the 15th.

CPHS Volleyball: No. 9 Owasso sweeps No. 12 Sand Springs 3-0

The Class 6A No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (16-13, 4-4) suffered a 3-0 sweep at the hands of No. 9 Owasso (14-13, 6-2) in a Frontier Valley Conference match Tuesday evening at the Ed Dubie Field House.

The Sandites endured their worst defeat since 2013 in set one, falling 25-5 with no kills and only eight digs. Owasso took a 12-0 lead before Vanessa Wyrick combined on back-to-back blocks with Mackenzie Harris and Cloe Campfield. The Rams committed only two errors in the game, and Wyrick served an ace late in the set.

Game two was far closer as Sand Springs stepped up on both offense and defense and the Rams committed far more mistakes. Sand Springs committed only seven errors to Owasso’s eleven, but the Rams churned out fourteen kills and four aces and the Sandites only scored eleven points in the 25-22 loss. The game tied at 15-15 after an ace from Campfield, but the visitors rattled off three more kills and never gave up the lead again.

Owasso got off to another fast start in game three, taking a 6-1 lead. Sand Springs stayed competitive, cutting it to 12-11 with a five-point run that included blocks from Madison Burris, Devree Youngblood, and Wyrick, and an ace from Raylynn Mong. The Rams soon went on a four-point run for a 19-14 lead and rolled to a 25-17 victory.

Owasso senior Mallory Hendrix led all scorers with twelve kills, and Addy Berry had a match-best four aces. Campfield led the Sandites with five kills, Burris had six assists, Wyrick scored five blocks and two aces, and Madison Blaylock had fifteen digs.

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 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.

CPHS Volleyball: Sandites place second at Mustang Tournament, Youngblood named All-Tournament

The Class 6A No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School (16-10) varsity volleyball team took second place at the Mustang High School Tournament Saturday evening, falling 3-0 to the host team. No. 6 Mustang (21-4) lost only one set in the tournament, to Sand Springs during pool play, to win the tournament for the second-straight year.

Sand Springs was hard on the Broncos’ heels during their first meeting of the tournament, but had a tougher time in the Championship match, falling 25-14, 25-15, and 25-20.

Sand Springs committed as many errors as it scored points in the first set, giving the Broncos an easy 25-14 victory.

They cleaned things up big time in the second game, committing only five errors, but the Broncos also upped their game with an impressive sixteen kills, three aces, and a block. Despite the improved performance, the Sandites were still outmatched 25-15.

Game three was closely contested as the Sandites scored ten kills with aces from Madison Blaylock and Raylynn Mong. They also committed eleven errors to the Broncos’ eight. Those three extra points, together with Mustang’s two blocks, were the deciding factor in the 25-20 loss.

Prior to the Championship match the Sandites beat No. 20 Enid 2-0, No. 16 Choctaw 2-1, and 5A No. 6 Carl Albert 2-0, but fell 2-1 to Mustang in the first match of the tournament.

Oklahoma Baptist University-commit Devree Youngblood led the Sandites with nine kills and was named to the All-Tournament team. She averaged 3.7 kills and 3.5 digs per set over the course of the tournament. Mong led the team in assists against Mustang with twelve. Blaylock and Madison Burris led the team in digs with 13.

6’0” junior standout Ruby Kelley led the Broncos against Sand Springs with twelve kills, and Sage McCaskill, Madelyn Booth, and Annabeth Fehrle were also dominant at the net.

The Broncos will return to action Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. with a conference home match against No. 11 Stillwater (13-12). Sand Springs will travel to conference foe No. 15 Union (8-18, 3-2) Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. The Redskins beat Sand Springs 3-0 a month ago at the Union Invitational.
