Historically the Bishop Kelley Invitational has been one of the better volleyball tournaments of the season. For Bishop Kelley winning the Comet Tournament of Champions is one of the goals every season. This year a tough field that included teams from the West side of state in Edmond North, Heritage Hall and Stillwater. Also joining the field was Broken Arrow, McAlester, Owasso, and Jenks. Winning this tournament would send a statement to everyone in their class.
In the two days of pool play the host team rolled through Edmond North, Broken Arrow, and McAlester. The Comets never dropped a game to their opponents while Edmond North’s only defeat was to Bishop Kelley.
Pool B featured the high-powered Heritage Hall and a much-improved Stillwater team. Jenks defeated Owasso in the opener, but would later fall to Heritage Hall and Stillwater on day two. In the Heritage Hall vs. Jenks match-up the Lady Trojans were able to force five games, but Lady Chargers would come from behind and win the last game, 15-3 after marathon game that reached a score of, 28-26.
In the White Division semifinals Owasso defeated Broken Arrow in three straight sets, as did Jenks over McAlester.
The Consolation Final featured Owasso and Jenks. Owasso prevailed, but it took five games, which took its toll on both teams.
The Red Division semifinals witnessed Bishop Kelley beating Stillwater and Heritage Hall topping Edmond North. That set up a Heritage Hall vs. Bishop Kelley match that everyone was excited to see. In the finals the Lady Chargers jumped out to a lead and never looked back. Bishop Kelley just couldn’t muster enough to gain a lead and hang on to it and the Lady Chargers went on to win in three straight games, 25-14, 25-20, 25-18.
