CPHS Basketball: Girls place third at Port City Classic, throttle Jenks at home

View fullsize

The Class 6A No. 14 ranked Charles Page High School girls basketball team (8-6 overall, 4-3 conference) took third place at the Port City Classic Saturday night in Verdigris, beating Owasso 39-33, then rolled to a 53-32 beat-down of No. 18 Jenks (6-9, 2-4) Tuesday in conference action.

The Saturday game against Owasso (2-12) was a rematch of their 65-41 Tuesday conference rout, and this time it was a lot closer due to the absence of Journey Armstead and Hailey Jackson. Even without their two leading scorers, the Sandites never trailed in the second half due to a deep and talented bench.

Freshman Sakauri Wilson led the team with 12 points and five rebounds, followed by Darrian Jordan with 11 points. The girls trailed for less than a minute in the entire game, after a pair of free throws from Ellie Morrill put the Rams up 14-13 midway through the second quarter. Wilson made a three-point play for the lead, and though the Rams tied it twice after, they never reclaimed the advantage.

On Tuesday they got back Jackson, but continued to rest Armstead. As it turned out, they wouldn’t even come close to needing her. Madison Luciaro gave the visitors a 4-0 lead, but the Sandites responded with a 15-0 run to end the quarter.

Taiona Morris kicked off a six-point run to start the second quarter before Luciaro drained a three to break up the 21-point streak. Mikah Hampton responded with a three for the home team, and the Sandites coasted to a 30-12 halftime advantage.

Sand Springs opened the second half on a nine-point run for their biggest lead of the night at 39-12 before the Trojans responded with their own nine-point run. The Sandites emptied the bench in the fourth quarter.

Thirteen Sandites saw action and ten made their way into the scorebook. Wilson and Jackson led all scorers with 12 points apiece, matched by Jenks’s Luciaro. Hampton hit three threes for a career-high nine points, and Jill Twiehaus scored ten for the Trojans.

Lady Sandite Basketball will return to action Friday at home with a Frontier Valley Conference game against No. 10 Booker T. Washington (7-5, 4-2). Jenks had their Friday night game at Sapulpa canceled due to COVID-19 protocols and will instead travel to Broken Arrow (4-6, 1-3) Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
