CBMS Basketball: 8th Grade White finishes 2nd at Frontier Valley Conference Tournament

The Sand Springs 8th Grade White boys’ basketball team came in runner-up at the Frontier Valley Conference Tournament Saturday afternoon in Sapulpa, falling 57-38 to Union.

The Sandites rallied from a 17 point deficit to enter the fourth quarter down only 36-34, but the Redskins surged ahead with 18-straight points to secure the win.

The Redskins started on an 8-0 run and came away with seven steals in the first quarter to take a 23-7 lead by the end of the period.

Sand Springs trailed by 17 through most of the second quarter, but ended on a 7-2 run to enter halftime 34-22. The third quarter was the Sand Springs show as Colin Shope opened the half with three-straight goals before Jesse Tandoy scored the Redskins’ only basket. Mason Ward scored his first bucket and Alijah Roper hit back-to-back layups to trim it to a one-score game.

This time it was Union’s turn to adjust, as they rattled off 18-straight before Jesie Manuel broke up the run. Jackson Stewart scored the final bucket of the game.

Shope led the Sandites in scoring with 11 points, and Kenneth Page had 8 rebounds with 7 points. Tandoy led all scorers with 14 points.
