CPHS Soccer: Jack Bratcher scores hat trick in 6-1 rout of Muskogee

The Charles Page High School boys’ soccer team (2-1) posted a dominant 6-1 non-district win against Muskogee (0-1) Thursday night at Memorial Stadium behind a three-goal effort from Jack Bratcher. It was the first hat trick in the junior forward’s career, and the first of the season for the Sandites.

Muskogee was first on the board with a goal in the sixth minute, but Bratcher tied it up in minute 13 with a header. He recorded a brace in the 30th minute, then Fernando Saldana put the Sandites up 3-1 with just thirty seconds left in the half.

Luke Jeffus made his way into the score book fifteen minutes into the second half. Bratcher had his first shot at a hat trick three minutes later but had a penalty kick saved. He made up for it in the 62nd minute, then Saldana recorded the final goal in minute 69 for a brace.

Sand Springs had twelve shots on goal in the match while limiting Muskogee to only three. Junior goalie Xander Quiroga came away with two saves.

Sandite Soccer will take two weeks off before playing Enid (4-1) in a non-district road match. Muskogee will play a non-district match against Union (0-1) after Spring Break.
