OSWEGO — Marmaton Valley High busted out the brooms Tuesday as both the varsity and junior varsity volleyball squads swept both of their matches.

The Wildcat varsity dispatched Northeast-Arma in straight sets before rallying to knock off host Oswego in three sets in the finale.

The JV Wildcats, meanwhile, took a three-set victory over Northeast and a straight-set win over Oswego.

Strong service games from Tayven Sutton and Janae Granere paved the way for MV’s 25-20, 25-16 win over Northeast. Sutton was first, serving for seven consecutive points in the first set. Granere notched six straight points at serve in the clincher.

It took a bit longer for the Wildcats to find their legs against Oswego. The Indians cruised to a 25-17 victory in the first set before MV’s Braelyn Sutton turned the tide. She served six straight points, helping the Wildcats overcome a 13-10 deficit to win, 25-21. From there, Marmaton Valley overcame an early third-set deficit, and ended the match with a 5-2 run to win, 25-21. Maider Arbulu had an early five-point serving streak to set the tone.

The Wildcats (15-8) resume play Tuesday at Colony to take on Three Rivers League rivals Crest and St. Paul.
