CPHS Volleyball: Jenks knocks off Sand Springs 3-0

/

Sand Springs - The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (4-12, 3-1) suffered a 3-0 sweep at the hands of 6A No. 7 ranked Jenks (7-6) Tuesday evening at the Ed Dubie Field House, but it was far from a beat down. After losing a tough 25-14 first set the Sandites kept the Trojans on their toes in the next two. 

Sand Springs benefited from a pair of Jenks errors before falling in a 4-2 hole in set two. The Trojans scored a pair of blocks and the Sandites had a hard time keeping their powerful attacks in the court. After some quick adjustments they soon began to battle back.

A kill from Rachel Hines tied it up at 9-9 and a pair of Jenks errors gave the home team the lead till kills from Alana Broedel and Sophie Bufogle flipped the script at 16-14. Sand Springs led once more at 18-17, but Jenks took advantage of Sandite communication errors and only gave up one more point on a tipped ball from Madison Burris.

The final set was the closest of the three and the Sandites led on several occasions with eight tie scores. Cheyenne Henry and McKenzie Harris combined for a block to lead 14-13 before the Trojans claimed the edge for the duration of the bout. Jenks won the final set 25-21.

Sand Springs Volleyball will return to action Thursday at 6:30 p.m. with a non-conference road game at 5A No. 5 Coweta (10-2).

CPHS Volleyball: Lady Sandites finish sixth at Broken Arrow Tournament, beat Bartlesville 3-1

/

The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (4-11) has been in a rough patch lately due to brutal scheduling and an unrelenting string of top-tier competitors.

They placed sixth of seven teams at the round-robin Broken Arrow Invitational this past weekend, but all five losses came to top-ten ranked 6A programs, and in the last three days they have met three top-five opponents. 

On Thursday the Lady Sandites were swept 3-0 by 4A No. 2 Victory Christian (9-3) with sets of 25-12, 25-19, and 25-13. 6A No. 2 Norman North (11-3) got a sweep Friday (25-13, 25-14, 25-14), as did No. 3 Edmond Memorial (10-1) (25-20, 25-13, 25-13). They won set three 25-23 against No. 7 Broken Arrow (4-5), but lost the others 25-9, 25-20, and 25-15. 

The streak finally came to a close with a 3-1 win over Bartlesville (2-6), who they also defeated in conference play earlier this month. After suffering a 25-9 clobbering in the first set, the Lady Sandites surged back to win 25-20, 25-19, and 25-22. That momentum carried into the rest of the day and they made a commendable effort against their next two opponents. 

Sand Springs got off to an incredible start against No. 6 Edmond North (9-5), taking a 5-0 lead with two aces from Madison Burris and two kills from Vanessa Wyrick with Devree Youngblood assisting. Cloe Campfield made it 7-1 with an ace and the Sandites held their distance comfortably till a five-point run made it 16-15. Wyrick broke that steak up with a kill, but the Huskies went right back to it and came from behind for a 25-19 victory.

Morgan Goerke served an ace and an error to start the second set, then Lily DeGrace and Youngblood traded kills. Campfield notched an ace for a 3-2 lead and the game tied three times before the Huskies put it in the bag. An eight point run put it at 17-7 in Edmond’s favor and the Sandites never recovered, falling 25-14.

Game three was a beat down right out of the gate. Edmond took a 2-0 lead, Raylynn Mong aced to tie it, DeGrace posted a block and Cheyenne Henry tied it with a kill. Then the Huskies went on an eight point run with four aces from Sarah Holmes. Holmes finally made an error, but Kamryn Bacus picked it up from there with a kill and three aces before Youngblood hit a kill.

The Lady Sandites began to stage a comeback with a four-point run and a pair of kills from Henry, cutting it to 18-12. DeGrace scored two of her own, then Sand Springs went on a ten point run. Henry scored a kill and a block, Youngblood scored a pair of kills, and Mong served three aces for the 22-20 lead. The Huskies wouldn’t have an upset on their hands, however, and surged back for the 25-23 win.

No. 10 Southmoore (4-6) took a commanding 8-3 lead in their first game against the Sandites and rolled steadily forward for a 25-16 victory. .

The second set was far more competitive with the Sandites in control for most of the action. Mong scored back to back aces for the lead at 5-3 and Sand Springs looked to be in good shape in the final stretch. But the Sabercats came from a 19-13 deficit to win it 25-22. 

Westmoore took an 11-8 lead in the final game with a four point run and never looked back in another 25-16 win. 

The Lady Sandites will return to action Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with a home battle against Frontier Valley foe No. 8 Jenks (7-6, 2-1).
