CPHS Basketball: Lady Sandite Season Rewind

The Class 6A No. 6 ranked Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (21-5) racked up three trophies this season, ending the year with their fourth-straight winning record and third-straight State Tournament appearance.

Sand Springs went on an eight-game win streak before falling 59-52 to No. 12 Norman (23-7) at Tulsa Memorial High School in the State Tournament Quarterfinals. Norman went on to win the Championship.

The Lady Sandites won the Frontier Valley Conference, their third-straight Regional Championship, and their third-straight Area Championship. They were undefeated in a loaded conference that featured two additional Regional Champions, and one additional Area Champion.

The Sandites endured only five losses, all to quality opponents. They lost to Ponca, but paid it back twice. They lost to Shawnee, who made it State. They lost to Choctaw, who fell one round short of State. And they lost to the two State finalists, Norman and Norman North.

In the second game of the season, the Sandites dominated Muskogee 109-39. It was the highest-scoring performance of any 6A team all season, and was one of only two 100-point games by a 6A team all season.

They beat fourteen ranked opponents, four top-ten opponents, and two top-five opponents. They beat their rivals from Sapulpa twice, they beat the defending Conference Champs from Bartlesville twice, and they beat the defending State Champs from Owasso twice.

University of Kansas-signed senior Holly Kersgieter led the team in scoring on seventeen occasions with nine double-doubles and a career-high performance of 38 points in a 75-62 overtime victory against Jenks. She led the team in numerous statistical categories with 19.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game with a 37.8% three-point percentage and 76.1% free throw percentage.

University of Tulsa-signee Destiny Johnson led the team in ten games with one double-double. She scored a season-best 29 points in back-to-back games against Sapulpa and Owasso. She averaged 16.6 points per game and led the team with 2.8 steals and the best overall field goal percentage at 48.3%.

Northeastern State University-signed senior Isabella Regalado never led the team, but had seven double-digit performances, including a double-double against Jenks and a season-best eighteen points against Broken Arrow.

Jacie Taber, a Missouri State Softball-signee, recorded one double-double and a career-best fifteen points against Bartlesville. She led the team in two-point percentage at 54.4%.

Several underclassmen had remarkable performances over the course of the season, showing their potential in the years to come when they no longer have to share the ball with a handful of Division One talents.

Madison Burris scored a career-high fourteen points against Moore, Reagan Padilla scored a career-high fourteen against Owasso, and Darrian Jordan scored a career-high sixteen against Ponca City. The team will return a total of ten players with varsity experience, including Mikah Hampton who was the only freshman to see action this season.

Head Coach Tobey Nightingale improved her career coaching record to 30-21 in her first season as a Sandite and second year leading a varsity program.
