CPHS Basketball: Davon Richardson scores 44 in 97-77 loss at No. 8 Owasso

/

The Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School boys' basketball team (14-6, 7-5) was soundly defeated 97-77 in an unusually high-scoring affair at No. 8 Owasso (17-4, 9-3) Friday night, despite an incredible 44-point performance by 6'4" sophomore Davon Richardson.

The game kicked off like a replay of their last game as the Sandites jumped out to a quick lead with back-to-back layups from Richardson. Hayden Peterson got the Rams on the board with a free throw, but Matt Price made a three-point play for the 7-1 lead. Jake Thompson hit a pair from the charity stripe and Josh Proctor made the first Owasso field goal, Richardson retaliated, then Thompson hit a three to make it a one-point game.

Seth Pomeroy gave his team the lead once and for all with a steal and a layup. Proctor snagged four more off back-to-back steals and the Rams successfully flipped the script. Richardson hit two from the stripe, but Proctor made one of his own, then blocked a shot from Price and Thompson scored on the rebound.

The Rams rode an eight-point streak to a double-digit lead before Colt Savage scored back-to-back. Peterson got the final say of the first quarter, hitting a buzzer-beater for the 24-16 advantage.

Cole Durkee made a three-point play to kick off the second period, but Pomeroy hit a two and Thompson sank a three for another double-digit lead. The Rams ran away with it from there with five three-pointers for a 55-33 halftime advantage. Richardson and Thompson had eighteen points apiece in the first half alone.

Proctor hit a three to give his team a 25-point lead to start the third, Richardson scored a three of his own, Peterson added two, then the Sandites went on a five-point run to cut it back to nineteen. The game stayed in that vicinity for most of the quarter till Thompson iced a buzzer beater to make it 77-53.

Richardson continued his melee in the fourth quarter with three threes and a two in the first three minutes, cutting the deficit to seventeen points for the first time since the second period. Owasso had a quick answer in Preston Hendrix who came off the bench for back-to-back threes. Richardson hit yet another three and followed it up with a free throw for his final point of the night.

No matter how hot the Sandites got, the Rams always had an answer. With three minutes left the Sandite called it a night and sent in the backups, who actually cut the deficit to seventeen with a 9-2 run before the Rams hit the final two baskets of the night.

Richardson's 44 points were the most any Sandite has scored in several seasons, and a massive improvement on his previous career-high 24. He also collected eight rebounds and two blocks. Colt Savage was the only other Sandite in double digits, scoring twelve. Thompson paced the Rams with 29, followed by Proctor with eighteen, Peterson with seventeen, and Pomeroy with twelve.

Sand Springs will return to action Tuesday at 8:00 in their last home game of the season against Jenks (8-13, 3-9) who they previously defeated 64-45 in January. Owasso will aim to repeat a 67-65 victory over No. 13 Sapulpa (13-8, 5-7) Tuesday at home.

CPHS Basketball: Boys fall 53-34 to No. 4 Union, Savage scores 19

/

The Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team (14-5, 7-4) went on the road to No. 4 Union (16-4, 9-2) and suffered a 53-34 defeat despite a game-high nineteen-point performance from University of Central Oklahoma-commit Colt Savage.

Ira Richardson drew first blood for the Redskins, Colt Savage made a three-point play for the Sandites, then Michiah McQuarters sank a three to reclaim the lead. Cole Durkee, McQuarters, and Davon Richardson scored twos, then McQuarters hit another three for the 10-7 lead.

McQuarters reached double digits in under five minutes and rattled off seven-straight points to double the visitors at 14-7 before Davon Richardson scored two on an inbounds. Noah Brown and Jordan Flood pushed the advantage to 20-9 by the end of the first quarter.

Brown scored on a steal to kick off the second quarter, Savage ended the streak with a free throw, and that was the only point the Sandites would score. The Redskins won a conservative 8-1 quarter and took a 28-10 advantage into the locker room.

Savage scored on a steal to start the third quarter, Garcia drained a three, then Savage laid up for two more. Flood added two, then Gage Fisher made his way into the scorebook with a three. Savage followed it up with a three of his own to cut it to a thirteen-point deficit and the two teams hung tight from there.

The Sandites had stopped hemorrhaging but couldn’t make up much ground, finishing the third 42-29. The fourth was another low-scoring affair and the Redskins came out on top, limiting the Sandites to a handful of points from Savage and securing a 53-34 victory.

Savage was the only Sandite in double digits. McQuarters led the Redskins with sixteen, Garcia had eleven, and Brown added ten.

Sand Springs will return to action Friday at 7:00 p.m. on the road against No. 8 Owasso (16-4, 8-3). The Sandites won a 72-64 December meeting, but the Rams will be riding high after upsetting No. 1 Broken Arrow (17-2, 9-1) 77-70. Union will travel to No. 13 Sapulpa (13-7, 5-6) Friday at 8:00 p.m. with the hope of avenging an 81-80 overtime loss from earlier this season.

Sandite of the Week: Colt Savage scores 56 points over two games

/

University of Central Oklahoma-committed senior Colt Savage was selected as our Sandite of the Week for his remarkable performances in two games last week. The Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School boys' basketball team (14-4, 7-3) picked up a pair of conference wins and Savage led the team in scoring on both occasions. 

On Tuesday the Sandites won a 60-42 bout with Bixby (7-12, 2-8) and Savage scored 31 points for the third time this year. He also recorded four rebounds, one assist and two steals.

On Friday the Sandites trailed the No. 11 Sapulpa (12-7, 4-6) Chieftains 52-46 before going on a seven-point run with five from Savage to reclaim the lead with a few minutes left. The Chieftains resorted to desperation fouls in the final minutes, but Savage was perfect at the charity stripe to secure the win with a game-high 25 points. He also recorded seven rebounds and a steal.

Over the course of the two games he was 18-of-31 on field goals and 15-of-19 from two-point range. He was nearly perfect on free throws, only missing one per game, 17-of-19. 

This coming week will be one of the toughest of the season for the Sandites. On Tuesday they will travel to No. 6 Union (15-4, 8-2) and try to avenge a 60-45 loss from December. On Friday they will travel to No. 8 Owasso (15-4, 7-3) who they previously defeated 72-64 in December. 

CPHS Basketball: Boys win Highway 97 Rivalry 62-59 over No. 11 Sapulpa, Savage scores 25

/

The Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School boys' basketball team (14-4, 7-3) put on a thriller Friday night at the Ed Dubie Field House, overcoming their arch rivals from No. 11 Sapulpa (12-7, 4-6) in a down-to-the-wire shootout. 

The Sandites came out on top of a wild first quarter, taking the lead out of the gate with back-to-back field goals from Matt Price and Davon Richardson, and only allowing the visitors to tie it up once. They led by as many as seven points before the visitors rallied to tie it at 15-15, then rattled off eight straight to reclaim the lead. Matt Price started off the second period 23-15 but the Chieftains slowly whittled away the deficit to 30-28 before Richardson got the final say of the half.

Richardson scored two more to kick off the second half, but the Cheiftains won the third period 14-10 and briefly took the lead before Cole Durkee hit a three to tie it up at 42-all.

Eli Williams kicked off the fourth with five points for a Cheiftain advantage. Cale and Colt Savage scored back-to-back to make it a one-point game but Hunter Hoggatt drilled a three and scored on a steal to keep the visitors out front.

The Sandites went on a seven-point run with five of those from Colt Savage to take the 53-52 edge. Hayden Casey tied it with a free throw, Richardson scored two more, Hoggatt tied it with a field goal, then Colt Savage scored four more from the stripe to take lead for the final time. Price, Casey, and Richardson exchanged free throws, but the Chieftains never again tied the game.

Colt Savage led all scorers with 25 points and seven rebounds. Price finished with twelve points and five rebounds and Richardson had eleven points and seven rebounds. Casey led the Chieftains with eighteen points, Hoggatt had thirteen, and LaJuan Hughes added twelve. 

The Sandites will return to action Tuesday in a rematch at No. 6 Union (15-4, 8-2). They previously fell 60-45 to the Redskins in December. Sapulpa will next take on Bixby (7-12, 2-8) who they previously defeated 73-64.
