CPHS Basketball: Undefeated Sandites win 6th-straight at Owasso, Richardson scores 24

The Class 6A No. 20 ranked Owasso boys’ basketball team (0-2, 0-2) played close for three quarters against No. 7 Sand Springs, but never led and was ultimately left in the dust as Charles Page High School improved to 6-0 overall and 2-0 in the Frontier Valley Conference Tuesday night. The 59-46 win marked the Sandites’ first 6-0 start since 2015.

University of Central Oklahoma-committed senior Davon Richardson led all scorers iwith 24 points, closely followed by junior standout Marlo Fox with 18.

Fox hit a three to start the night, and the Rams were behind the eight-ball from the very beginning. Fox scored the first three baskets for the Sandites, including two threes. Hawkins put up five and Richardson added six for a 19-12 first quarter advantage. 

Owasso wouldn’t let the Sandites run away with things, and won the second period 12-11 thanks to a late three from Kyler Mann, who finished the night with 12 points. A layup from Hawkins gave the visitors their first double-digit lead with 1:45 remaining in the third quarter, but Caden Fry made a three-point play for the Rams to keep things close.

Richardson drained a buzzer-beater three to make it 43-33 going into the fourth quarter. Fry dunked on a steal to kick off the final stanza, but Sand Springs went on a 14-2 run with eight points from Richardson for their biggest lead of the night at 57-37.

Fry led the Rams with 14 points, followed by Trenton Ellison with 13. Mann led his team with 12 points prior to fouling out with 4:08 in the game.
