CPHS Basketball: Sandites throttle NW Arkansas 80-39, five score double digits
/
The Northwest Arkansas Hornets (1-6) were barely even a blip on the Sandites’ radar Saturday morning at the Tulsa Memorial Veterans Arena Invitational, as the undefeated Class 6A No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team (5-0) rolled to a lopsided 80-39 win, despite giving the backups more minutes than the starters. It marked the fourth time in the past five years that the Sandites have gone undefeated at the festival-style event.
The team was without Cason Savage and Daren Hawkins, and Costen Brockman picked up his first varsity start. The entire Sandite bench saw action, and the backups outscored the starters 49-31. Most of the Sandites logged minutes in the first half after they jumped out to a 16-8 first quarter lead, then scored 24-straight through the second and went into the locker room with a 46-12 advantage.
Sand Springs used a 13-point run in the fourth for its biggest lead of the game at 80-36 before giving up three in the final minute.
Arkansas’s Nick Kirkman led all scorers with 15 points, and Trevor Altemeier had 10 for the Hornets. Marlo Fox’s 13 points were his lowest output of the season, but it was enough to lead the Sandites for the fifth-straight game. Cale Askew was the tenth player off the bench, but he put up 12 points, followed by Davon Richardson, Jason Clark, and Trevor Stone with 10 apiece. Fourteen Sandites saw action and eleven made their way onto the scoreboard.
Sand Springs will return to action Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. with a Frontier Valley Conference road game against No. 17 Owasso (0-1). The Hornets will travel to Ozark Adventist (1-1) Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
