Ash Fork gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They put the hurt on the Bagdad Sultans with a sharp 3-0 victory. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Spartans also won the last time the pair played back in August of 2024.

The 3-0 score doesn't show just how dominant Ash Fork was: they took every set by at least 14 points. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 25-11, 25-6, 25-6.

Gracie Staples paced Ash Fork's offense, picking up eight kills. Staples got some help from Arlette Sotelo-Ayala and her 14 assists. Crystal Nixon controlled things from the service line, finishing with seven aces.

Ash Fork and Bagdad will both get their first taste of in-conference action in their upcoming games. The Spartans are set to square off against their familiar foe Joseph City at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Bagdad will take on rival Antelope at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
