CPHS Football Halftime Report: Sandite trail defending State Champs 27-7

The Charles Page High School football team is down 27-7 at halftime against the defending State Champions from Booker T. Washington.

The first quarter was heavy defense with four punts and only one first down.

Thomas Grayson was first on the scoreboard with a 32-yard fourth-down run for the Hornets, while Sand Springs punted all three of their possession.

Washington put together a six-play sixty-yard drive and freshman quarterback Gentry Williams scored with a nine-yard run on the first play of the second period.

The Hornet defense showed off once again as Kiero Petross recovered a Caden Pennington fumble and took it 25 yards for a touchdown. Drew Wilkie made his first two point-after kicks, but the Hornets attempted a two-point run this time and Hayden Cramer blew it up.

Trailing 20-0, the Sandites put together their first effective drive, picking up two first downs and traveling 32 yards before two fouls and a negative run forced them to punt on fourth-and-nineteen.

The Sandite defense came up strong once again, forcing their second three-and-out of the night, and this time the offense got hot as well. Pennington hit Daren Hawkins for ten, ran it seventeen, then hit Hawkins for thirteen in a four-play forty-yard march to avert the first half shutout. Jaden Weiser’s point after kick made it 20-7.

Washington responded handily with a ten-play 68-yard drive and sixteen-yard touchdown pass from Williams to Gentry Dalton. Wilkie kicked the final point of the half.
