CPHS Basketball: Boys knock off No. 3 Jenks 45-36 on the road, Richardson scores 13

The Class 6A No. 9 ranked Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team (16-4, 8-4) pulled off a stellar 45-36 upset of No. 3 Jenks (17-3, 9-3) Friday night at Frank Herald Field House with double-digit efforts from three different Sandites. The Trojans previously beat Sand Springs 57-54 on the Sandites’ home court, and the Sandites got payback on Jenks’s Senior Night through superior shooting and aggressive defense, despite being short two starters.

University of Central Oklahoma-commit Davon Richardson led all scorers for the fifth time this season with 13 points and added 11 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the year. Josh Minney put up 12 points and 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season and Marlo Fox added 10 points. Chase Martin was the lone Trojan in double-digits with 11 points to pace his team. Both teams had only five players in the book.

Richardson scored the opening three-pointer and the Sandites connected on four of six three-point attempts in the first quarter for a 16-7 lead before Benjamin Averitt got hot. The Trojan made a two, then went three-for-three at the free throw line with a second left to make it 16-12. Trendon Tisdale trimmed the deficit to 20-18 in the second quarter, but Richardson and Minney closed out with back to back buckets.

The Sandites held Jenks to only three points in the third quarter and Ethan Oakley gave them a double digit lead in the final seconds of the period. Oakley added another bucket to start the fourth and Minney added another for their biggest lead at 35-21. Jenks went on an 8-2 run to cut it to 37-29 and both teams entered the final four minutes in the bonus, but neither made any headway and the Sandites held on for the win.

Sand Springs basketball will face another tough task Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. when they travel to No. 1 Booker T. Washington (14-5, 10-1). Sand Springs is the only 6A team to beat the star-studded Hornets this season, 66-62 at home. Jenks will host Sapulpa (9-11, 4-7) Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. They previously beat the Chieftains 69-53.
