Sapulpa Invitational Recap

This weekend we were at the Sapulpa Inv. There were a bunch of solid teams, close games and talented players. Let's take a look at both the tournament finish and the players who made the All-Tournament team.   Overall Record and Finish:   1st place- Claremore 7-0   2nd Place- Glenpool 6-1   3rd Place-Sapulpa 5-2   4th Place- Shawnee 4-3   5th Place- El Reno 3-4   6th Place- Noble 2-5   7th Place- McAlester 1-6   8th Place- Tulsa Memorial 0-7   All-Tournament Team:   Tenley Morgan McAlester Outside Hitter #6. Tenley was all over the place this past weekend. Nobody questions her effort and intensity. She has the capability to be the Buffaloes best attack option and also does a good job on the defensive end as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='736675' first='Madison' last='Godding'] Claremore Libero #15. Maddie was flying around all weekend and racked up over 50 digs. She also did really well in SR, she passed a 2.2 or higher in multiple matches. She's been a great addition for the Zebras.   [player_tooltip player_id='774413' first='Adrian' last='Hawley'] Sapulpa Libero #10. Another Libero that had a great weekend on her home turf. She also had 50+ digs and was a cornerstone for the Chieftains. She set the tone often with the first touch. She is only a sophomore and in route to be one of the best passers in school history.   [player_tooltip player_id='285769' first='Grace' last='Baughman'] Claremore Setter/Right Side #12. She is the definition of a stat stuffer both on the defensive side of the ball and the offensive side. She is also a player who gets recognized for her leadership on the court.   JaNya Bruner Shawnee Right Side #14. Wait till you see her vertical. It will quickly catch anyone's eye. She transferred from Tecumseh where she was a powerful weapon for the Savages. She hasn't skipped a beat now at Shawnee. Still a go-to player when they need a big time kill.   [player_tooltip player_id='740639' first='Jayden' last='Adayehi'] Glenpool Right Side. Jayden has really taken a step forward with her game. Hence the recent jump in our rankings. She is a much more consistent scorer from the right side. She also has the capability to get on severe scoring runs that really put pressure on opposing teams.   Asia Ianes Claremore Outside Hitter #14. Asia is an Italian foreign exchange student and is already making a big impact. She is gaining in on 100 kills for the season already. Her ability to score is not just held in the front row. She can score as a hitter and a server when she rotates to the back.   Paityn Head Glenpool Libero #15. Paityn is no stranger to hitting the floor and making big time saves to extend a rally. She has the kind of attitude and drive that many good Libero's have. Look for her and the Warriors to open the season in the top 10.   [player_tooltip player_id='776021' first='Madyson' last='Greenfeather'] Sapulpa Setter #7. Madyson tallied a total of 72 assists this weekend. The lefty setter also will hit sometimes and she is a solidly efficient front row player. If they got in a pinch they could likely call on her to run a 5-1 offense and she would keep tossing dimes.   [player_tooltip player_id='828453' first='Tyra' last='Mckinnie'] Glenpool Middle Blocker #4. What a player! Tyra is one of the best players on this side of the state! She has really elevated her back row play this past season on the national championship Peak 17-1 crew. She is one of the most well rounded middles in the entire state. Louisiana Tech is getting a DAWG!   [player_tooltip player_id='806593' first='Maicee' last='Berry'] Noble Outside Hitter #7. Almost a unanimous selection amongst the coaches for Noble. Maicee has been a starter and captain for the past 3 seasons. She is looking to leave it all out on the court for this senior season and her play reflects it. Her hustle and leadership are unquestionable when you watch her play.   [player_tooltip player_id='810001' first='Hayden' last='Humphrey'] Sapulpa Middle Blocker #1. She is a very efficient hitter who can read the block and defense well. She has multiple areas on the court she is able to attack at any given moment. Her serve also has the capability to string together multiple points for the Chieftains. She has already signed to play at Coffeyville next year.   The initial rankings will be coming out today. The rankings at the end will determine which top 8 teams will host a region as well as who the 2 seed is for each. Good luck to all those out there fighting for a chance at having a # next to their school's name.
