The Class 6A No. 7 ranked Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team (12-2, 4-2) picked up a 61-40 Frontier Valley Conference win over Bartlesville (1-9, 0-6) Tuesday night at the Ed Dubie Field House, winning handily on Homecoming. University of Central Oklahoma-committed senior Davon Richardson led all scorers with a season-high 22 points and 15 rebounds for his third-straight double-double.

The Sandites were without 6’6” center Jaeden Hurd, who injured his knee two games prior, and struggled early on. They didn’t take their first lead till five minutes into the game. The Bruins ended the first quarter on an eight-point run, including back-to-back threes from Aodi Ayyaappan for a 14-8 advantage. 

The Sandites blew their visitors away in the second quarter, going on an early thirteen-point streak. Shane Simpson broke up the run, but Richardson and Ethan Oakley combined for six more to take their first double-digit lead at 29-19. The Bruins ended the half with a three-point play from Chris Ward. 

Marlo Fox and Cason Savage combined for seven to start the second half. Troy Reibel hit a three for the Bruins, then Richardson got hot and scored the home team’s next eight points. Josh Minney and Daren Hawkins also hit layups and entered the final stanza with a 48-28 lead. 

Sand Springs had its biggest lead at 59-32. Jordan Carter made a three, Richardson dunked on a beautiful pass from Fox, then the visitors scored five-straight against the Sandite reserves to end the night.

McKenzie Harris was crowned Homecoming Queen at halftime of the varsity boys’ game. Richardson was Kissing Captain. 

Sandite Basketball will take a week off before hosting Muskogee (3-7, 1-4) next Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. They have won four-straight meetings with the Roughers. Bartlesville will compete at the Deer Creek Tournament in Edmond this Thursday through Saturday.
