CPHS Basketball: Sandites thump Broken Arrow 65-52, Richardson scores 25

The Class 6A No. 6 ranked Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team (14-4, 8-2) trailed Broken Arrow 14-12 after the first quarter Friday night at the Ed Dubie Field House, but shut down their opponents 18-2 in the second period and never looked back in the Frontier Valley Conference victory. Sand Springs prevailed 65-52 over the Tigers (7-11, 3-7).

Junior standout Davon Richardson led the Sandites with his sixth career double-double, posting 25 points and eleven rebounds. Senior Marlo Fox was second with a career-high seventeen points. Ryan Arthur led Broken Arrow with fourteen points and George McGurdy added ten.

Broken Arrow was first on the board with a layup from Simon Blair, but Fox drained a three and scored on a steal for the 5-2 lead. The game tied three times in the first period. Arthur hit a three to make it 5-5, Richardson gave his team the lead once and tied it once, but the Tigers went on a five point run before Cale Savage hit a three to end the period 14-12.

Fox hit another three to take the lead with the first score of the second period, and that was the only basket in the first four minutes of the quarter. Richardson ended the offensive dry spell with a reverse layup, and Fox made a three-point play on a steal for a 20-14 lead. McGurdy hit two from the charity stripe but Fox and Richardson scored on a pair of turnovers and Richardson made a three-point play for the double-digit lead. Cole Durkee made his way onto the board with a three and the home team held a 30-16 advantage at the half.

Fox led all scorers in the first half with thirteen points, followed by Richardson with eleven.

Broken Arrow won the third quarter 13-11 thanks to a late three from McGurdy, and entered the fourth trailing 41-29. They began chipping away at the deficit and got back within ten after a layup from Anthony Allen, but Richardson made a pair of three-point plays to stay out front at 52-38.

The Tigers cut it back to a ten-point gap with 2:31 remaining after Fox fouled out and sent Cody Nagy to the line for a pair of free throws. Jaeden Hurd and McGurdy traded layups but Durkee got the final basket of the night at 65-52.

Sand Springs will return to action Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against No. 3 Booker T. Washington (15-2, 8-1) at the High School Hoops Showcase at Tulsa’s BOK Center. The Hornets currently lead the conference, but Sand Springs will take first with a win. Broken Arrow will travel to No. 11 Union (8-2) on Tuesday.

No. 6 CPHS Basketball to play No. 3 Booker T. Washington Saturday at BOK Center

Since opening in 2008, the BOK Center has been the home of the Tulsa Oilers professional hockey team, the Tulsa Shock WNBA team, and the Tulsa Talons arena football team. It has also hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, and the Big 12 Wrestling Tournament.

On Saturday, February 2nd, the 17,839 seat arena will host the Fourth Annual High School Hoops Showcase, giving local student athletes the opportunity to play on what could be the biggest stage of their careers. Sixteen teams will play eight games - four boys games and four girls games. The premier match-up will feature two of the top teams in the state as the Booker T. Washington and Charles Page High School boys go head-to-head at 7:30 p.m.

The game will hold huge implications in the loaded Frontier Valley Conference as both teams are still heavy competitors for the title. The FVC is the toughest conference in Class 6A, and the top four teams are sitting at seven wins apiece, all with circular losses.

Both teams have one more game apiece this week before they meet on Saturday. Sand Springs will host Broken Arrow (7-10), who they previously defeated 54-45 earlier this season. Washington will try to avenge an early-season 80-72 loss to No. 4 Sapulpa (14-2) on Friday. If both teams win their Friday night games, then the Saturday winner will take the front spot in the conference.

Tickets for the Saturday showcase are $5 for students, $10 for general admission, and $25 for reserved courtside seats.

The Hornets were riding a twelve-game winning streak before falling to No. 2 Edmond Santa Fe (16-2) in the Jenks/Union Tournament finals Saturday. They boast the No. 2 offense in Class 6A but are 24th defensively, winning by an average score of 77-61.

The Sandites recently suffered back-to-back losses for the first time this season but bounced back with a win over No. 8 Jenks (12-5) last Tuesday. Sand Springs has the No. 9 offense and No. 10 defense in 6A, winning by an average score of 66-54.

Broken Arrow is 21st offensively and nineteenth defensively, losing their games by an average score of 58-57. They had a rough 1-6 start to the season, but are 6-4 since then and coming off a win over Bixby.

The Sand Springs girls (14-4) will also play Friday, kicking off the night at 6:30 p.m. The Lady Sandites are seventh offensively and twentieth defensively, winning by an average score of 62-48. They lost back-to-back games last weekend for the first time in over a year, but rebounded with a win over Booker T. Washington on Tuesday.

The Broken Arrow girls (8-10) are eighth offensively and thirtieth defensively, losing their games by an average score of 61-59. Like their boys’ team, they started the season rough, going 2-6. Since then they are 6-4 and coming off a loss to Bixby.

CPHS Basketball: Sandites knock off No. 6 Jenks 54-52, Richardson scores 21

Sand Springs won their second top-ten matchup of the season Tuesday night at the Frank Herald Fieldhouse, led by Davon Richardson with 21 points and Cole Durkee with seventeen. Class 6A No. 7 ranked Charles Page High School (13-4) improved to 7-2 in conference action with a 54-52 nailbitter victory over No. 6 Jenks (10-3, 5-3).

Jenks scored on their first three possession for a 6-0 lead before Durkee got the Sandites on the board. Marlo Fox was next to score and Cale Savage tied it at 7-7 with a three. Richardson gave the visitors their first lead with two from the charity stripe, and had to reclaim the lead twice more in the first period before his team finally began to pull away. Sand Springs ended the first period 17-13 on a six point run with a three from Durkee.

The Trojans came storming back in the second, taking a 22-20 lead with an eight point run. Richardson rattled off five of his own and Durkee hit a three for a narrow 28-26 halftime advantage. Jenks won the third period handily for a 42-35 lead, and the Sandites trailed to start the fourth period for only the fifth time this season.

Three pointers from Savage and Durkee kept the game tight and Josh Minney scored on a steal to reclaim the lead at 47-46. Chase Martin and Savage exchanges twos and the Sandites entered the final minute with possession and a one-point advantage. They drained off seventeen seconds with a game of keepaway before the Trojans sent Fox to the line for two.

Richardson sent Peyton Golightly to the line with 13.7 seconds but the former Sandite only hit one of his two shots, and Durkee made a three-point play on the corresponding possession. Ike Houston hit a long three with 3.4 seconds left to keep the Trojan’s hopes alive. Tristan Hines picked off the Sandites’ corresponding inbound throw and made a pass to the basket, but Golightly missed the layup and the Sandites secured the victory.

The Sandites will get a week-long break before hosting Broken Arrow (5-8, 2-6). Jenks will compete at this weekend’s Jenks/Union Invitational tournament with a 5:00 p.m. Thursday match against No. 16 Putnam City North (7-8).
