Oklahoma high school volleyball live updates from Class 5A state quarterfinals

NOBLE — The 2026 Class 5A Oklahoma high school volleyball state tournament began Thursday at Noble High School. Here are recaps from each quarterfinal match. More: Oklahoma high school volleyball scores: OSSAA Class 6A-5A state tournament results Shawnee 3, Claremore 1 Shawnee junior Molly Megehee opted to drop it in with precision rather than deliver an overpowering spike. With Shawnee and Claremore tied at one set apiece, the third set had been back and forth, but Megehee had a chance to win it to give the Wolves the lead. As Megehee scanned the court, she noticed a hole in Claremore’s defense and used both hands to softly deliver it to the other side of the net. It worked to perfection as it hit the floor and Shawnee took the set with a two-point victory. That proved to be the turning point as seventh-ranked Shawnee then won the final set to seal a 3-1 victory over No. 2 Claremore. Shawnee volleyball beat Claremore 3-1 in Noble today for its first state tournament win in program history. Here’s an interview with freshman Suzy Howle, who had 10 kills. #okpreps pic.twitter.com/AZhgjiChl4 — Nick Sardis (@nick_sardis) October 22, 2026 Shawnee not only pulled off
