CPHS Volleyball: Sandites sweep Sapulpa 3-0, Holland scores 11 kills

The Class 6A No. 18 ranked Charles Page High School volleyball team (8-8, 1-2) took a trip down Highway 97 to 5A No. 9 Sapulpa (7-10, 0-3) Tuesday evening and rolled to a 3-0 sweep against their biggest rivals. They previously beat the Chieftains 2-1 at the Sandite Invitational, but Tuesday’s win was the team’s first in Frontier Valley Conference play.

Teyha Johnson returned to action for the Sandites after missing the last ten matches due to an ankle injury. The injury bug passed to Sapulpa, who lost Saniya Howard on the second rally of the match. Howard scored a kill to tie it at 1-1 but came down hard on her knee and spent the rest of the evening on ice.

Game one tied eight times before the Sandites pulled ahead with a four-point run at 14-10. Sapulpa committed ten errors in the game while Sand Springs only had five, and the Sandites won the battle at the net with four blocks. Kasidy Holland and Layla Lenex scored three kills apiece and Jacelyn Smith and Sophie Singleton combined on three blocks in the 25-17 win. 

The second set was far closer with twelve tie scores, and neither team ever led by more than three points. Sapulpa had the longest streak, scoring five in a row to turn a 15-12 deficit into a 17-15 lead, thanks to a trio of aces from Kyleigh Sizemore. Payton Robbins scored back to back kills and Smith added a third to make it 23-21 but the Chieftains battled back to tie it at 24-24 before an error and a kill from Holland secured the win. Holland and Robbins scored four kills apiece. 

On more than one occasion it looked like Sapulpa might run away with the third set, but each time the Sandites battled back. Ryann Hoey scored three kills in a four-point run for the 17-12 Chieftain advantage, but Holland scored a pair of kills in a four-point Sandite run. Robbins notched two more as the Sandites took the lead at 21-19 and they pushed their lead to 24-20 with a kill from Smith. An ace from Kylie Hammond and a pair of Sandite errors allowed the Chieftains to get their foot in the door, but Singleton smacked down the game-winning kill before they could tie it.

Sand Springs committed only 20 errors, their second-best performance of the season in a three-set match. They struggled in serving, however, with only three aces against seven service errors. Olivia Dewitt accounted for two of those aces and Madison Blaylock had the other. Blaylock led the team in digs with 26, Johnson had 25 assists, Smith had five blocks, and Holland had a career-high 11 kills.

Hoey led Sapulpa with 14 kills and their only block, followed by Lilly Horath with nine kills and Sizemore with seven kills and five aces.

Sandite Volleyball will return to action Thursday at 6:30 p.m. with a conference road match against No. 9 Owasso (6-2, 2-1). Sapulpa will host a non-conference match against 4A No. 17 Berryhill (2-2) Friday at 6:00 p.m.

CPHS Softball: Sandites strike out against Jenks, lose 8-4

The Charles Page High School varsity softball team (11-2, 2-1) suffered its first district loss of the season Monday afternoon, 8-4 in a home game against Jenks (6-3, 3-0). The Trojans had the best offensive showing of any Sandite foe so far, batting .455.

Jenks loaded the bases again in the second inning and Kayla Adams, Emma Vickrey, and Kylie Hill all hit RBI singles for the 5-2 advantage. Nataley Crawford hit a two-run double in the sixth to put the Sandites in striking distance, but Jenks doubled down in the seventh with RBI singles from Natalie Rodman and Emma Lang, and Allen stole home. Aliyah Taff hit a double in the bottom of the inning, but was left stranded as the game came to a close.

Emma Lang got the start and the win in the pitcher’s circle, tossing seven hits, nine strikeouts, and five walks in six inning. Daria Sexton threw one hit and two strikeouts in relief. Taff (7-2, 24-16) took the loss with 15 hits, three strikeouts, and three walks in seven innings.

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.

SEE RELATED: Sandites go 1-2 at Holland Hall Friday, beat Okay 3-1.

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

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.

CPHS Softball: Sandites beat Stillwater 12-2 and Fort Gibson 11-3

Madison Lee was a perfect 7-for-7 at the plate on Friday.

The Charles Page High School varsity fast pitch team (11-1) snapped back from its first loss of the season with a pair of easy wins over Stillwater (6-3) and Fort Gibson (0-6) Friday at the Stillwater Festival. The girls batted well over .500 in both games to run-rule both opponents in under seven innings.

Against Stillwater they took an 8-0 lead before allowing the host team on the board, and ultimately racked up 14 hits, six of which earned extra bases. Madison Lee and Drew Hawkins were a perfect three-for-three at the plate.

Jaden Jordan kicked things off with an RBI double in the first, then came in on a single from Aliyah Taff. Hawkins and Nataley Crawford scored on sacrifice bunts from Lee and Avery Tanner in the second inning, then Raegan Rector hit an RBI double to make it 5-0.

The Sandites loaded the bases in the third. Crawford hit a two-run single and Tanner had an RBI double to make it 8-0 before the Pioneers finally got on the board in the bottom of the fourth with an RBI single from Addyson Brown.

Lee scored Hawkins with a double in the fifth, and Alex Griffin responded for Stillwater by scoring on an error. The Sandites had another explosive inning in the sixth, capitalizing on a pair of walks. Kelsi Hilton doubled then Hawkins tripled and scored on an error for the ten-run lead. Stillwater managed two hits in the bottom of the inning, but Taff threw a pair of strikeouts and Olivia Alexander made the throw to second to catch Makenzi Swick on an attempted steal.

Taff (7-1, 24-15) got the win in the pitcher’s circle with six hits, four strikeouts, one walk, and no earned runs. Kendyl Prichard received the loss with eight hits, five strikeouts, and three walks in four innings, while Swick threw six hits and one walk in two innings.

The Sandites repeated their 14-hit performance against Fort Gibson, and this time they did it in only five innings. Lee had yet another perfect game, this time going four-for-four with two doubles. A six-run first inning left the Tigers in the dust.

Lee singled for the first hit of the game, then scored on a triple from Tanner, who in turn scored on a ground out from Rector. Hawkins hit an RBI double, Mackenzie Burks and Hilton hit RBI singles, then Lee rounded out the batting order with an RBI double to make it 6-0.

Hawkins brought in Rector with an RBI single in the second, then it was the Tigers’ turn to shine. Kelly Hanna drew a walk and scored on a ground out from Erica Hornback. Graci Williams doubled and scored on a home run from Baleigh James to cut the score to 7-3, but those would be the only runs of the game for Fort Gibson.

Lee, Rector, and Jordan all doubled in the bottom of the third, and Tanner had a single as the Sandites pushed their lead to 10-3. Crawford scored the final run in the bottom of the fifth, coming in on a ground out from Rector on the last play of the game.

Crawford (4-0, 7-2) continued her undefeated season in the circle with four hits, five strikeouts, and two walks in five innings. Nia Polzin took the loss with 14 hits, two strikeouts, and three walks.

Sandite softball will return to action Monday at 5:30 p.m. with a district home game against Jenks (2-3, 1-0). Sand Springs is 2-0 in district play.
