CPHS Football: Comeback attempt falls short, Sandites fall 24-14 to Ponca City

Blake Jones is swarmed by defenders in a Thursday night loss to Ponca City.

The Class 6A-II No. 13 ranked Charles Page High School varsity football team (2-5, 1-3) was unable to overcome a rocky first half Thursday night against No. 11 Ponca City (4-3, 2-2), and fell 24-14. The win gave Ponca their best record since 2005, which was also the last time the Wildcats won at Veterans Memorial Stadium. The loss snapped a seven-year winning streak against Ponca.

Things could have gone very differently had the Sandites not gotten off to such a tough start. On their opening drive the home team marched 71 yards in only four plays to set up a first and goal at the 7-yard line. Trey Wilkerson had a touchdown run negated by holding, then Pennington threw a touchdown pass to Keaton Campbell that was also called back. Finally, a 32-yard field goal attempt by Zach Heinen missed, and the Sandites walked away scoreless.

The Sandite defense forced a quick three-and-out with tackles for loss from Alexa Favela and Lane Webster, but the Wildcat defense was equally potent. Nate Collins tackled Tyyee Atkison for a loss and Travaugh Tipton picked off Pennington’s pass, setting his team up for a seven-play 75-yard drive, capped by a two-yard scoring run from Kyter Welch. Spencer Ball kicked the PAT and the visitors never trailed.

Ponca got its third takeaway of the game midway through the second quarter and converted it into points only three plays later when Justin Andrews found Sam McKinney for a 48-yard touchdown pass and 14-0 lead.

The Sandites’ sixth possession of the night was a quick three-and-out, and Ponca spent the rest of the half draining the clock before kicking a 34-yard field goal and taking a 17-0 advantage into the locker room.

Sand Springs had a more productive second half, forcing a punt on Ponca’s opening drive and marching 80-yards in nine plays for a 14-yard touchdown pass from Pennington to Jamon Sisco. The Sandite defense held Ponca to negative yardage and a punt, and the offense put the game back in reach with a nine-play 48-yard drive and three-yard touchdown run from Wilkerson. Heinen kicked the PAT to make it 17-14 with 10:34 to play.

Ponca retaliated with a methodical eleven-play 52-yard march and two-yard touchdown run from Andrews to make it 24-14 with only 4:11 left.

Sand Springs converted one fourth down on their next drive, and went for a second from their own 36-yard line, but the pass was broken up, giving the Wildcats prime real estate. It was the home team’s turn to make a fourth-down stop, with Jerret Haley preventing a score from four yards out. By then only twelve seconds remained, and the Wildcats had secured the win.

Pennington broke 200 yards passing for the second-straight week, going 13-23-202-1, while Andrews was 8-16-92-0. Campbell was 6-134 receiving for his second-straight triple-digit performance, and accounted for 205 all-purpose yards. Sisco was 5-52 receiving for a career-high. Haley led the Sandite defense in total tackles. Lennox Sunneagle came up big for the Wildcats with two sacks, and Camdon Fleming had a fumble recovery.

The Wildcats will look to continue their historic turnaround season when they host No. 12 Bartlesville (1-6, 1-3) Friday at 7:00 p.m. The Sandites will take to the road Friday when they battle the defending State Champions in Bixby (7-0, 4-0).

Ponca needs just one more win to secure its best record since 2005. They own the No. 15 offense, No. 13 scoring defense, and No. 6 defense in points allowed. They have the No. 12 margin of victory in Class 6A-II. The team has been stout on defense, but struggled offensively, especially since losing their starting quarterback, Justin Andrews, in week 3. It’s unknown if Andrews will return to action against Sand Springs, or if Kyter Welch will get the start.

CPHS Football: Bartlesville stuns Sand Springs 54-34

Daren Hawkins snapped a 33-game streak of scoreless games for the Sandite Defense, scoring on an 83-yard pick six.

A 7-14-163-1 passing performance from Ben Winters, a 35-217 rushing performance from Laken Clowdus, and 141 penalty yards were too much for the Sandites to overcome, and the previously winless Bruins stunned the Charles Page High School football team Friday night at Custer Stadium.

The Class 6A No. 12 ranked Sandites (2-4, 1-2) fell 54-34 to No. 13 Bartlesville (1-5, 1-2) on the Bruins’ Homecoming after an insurmountable 21-0 second quarter shutout.

Sand Springs got off to a hot start and a 14-13 first quarter lead, but was left in the dust in the second quarter. Halftime adjustments resulted in a second-half tie and the home team secured its biggest win over the Sandites since 2010 with its highest-scoring game ever in the series.

Ty Pennington connected with Campbell on a 73-yard touchdown on the very first play from scrimmage. Zach Heinen kicked the PAT, and the home team found themselves down 7-0 only 22 seconds into the game.

The Bruins quickly responded with an 8-play 64-yard march, capped by a five-yard touchdown run from Laken Clowdus. Dylan McCoy kicked the PAT to tie things up with 8:14 in the quarter.

Bartlesville forced a quick three-and-out and marched down to the Sandite 17, but Daren Hawkins picked off Ben Winters’s pass for an 83-yard touchdown, ending a 33-game scoreless dry spell for the Sandite defense.

Winters made up for the error with a 53-yard strike to Caden Davis, but McCoy missed the extra point and the Sandites held their lead, 14-13.

The second quarter was all Bartlesville as they forced another three-and-out and took advantage of a major Sandite Special Teams mistake. A bad hike traveled past Heinen, who recovered it at his own 18  yard line, setting up the Bruins for a five-play drive and one-yard run from Seth Long for the 20-14 lead.

Sand Springs made it to the Bartlesville 30 but turned the ball over on downs, and the Bruins responded with a five-play 70-yard march and 44-yard touchdown pass from Winters to Davis. The defense came up strong again as Taton Hopkins made the first ever interception against Pennington and returned it 40 yards. Six plays later, on a fourth-and-seven, Winters found Long from 26 yards out and McCoy gave his team the 34-14 lead shortly before the half.

The Sandites forced a punt to start the second half and put together a methodical 15-play 78-yard march, ending in Pennington’s first career rushing touchdown, from six yard out. Bartlesville responded with an 8-play 83-yard drive and 2-yard touchdown run from Clowdus. McCoy missed the PAT and ended the night 4-of-6 after being replaced by Taton Hopkins.

Rocky Shuman came up big for the Bruins to stop a fourth-down run from Trey Wilkerson at the end of the third. The Bruins only needed three plays to drive 42-yards, scoring on a 37-yard run by Clowdus. Hopkins kicked the PAT for the 47-21 lead ten seconds into the fourth.

Sand Springs had its quickest drive of the night, going 72 yards in five plays, scoring on a 1-yard run from Jacob Snodgrass out of the wildcat formation.

Two punts later and Bartlesville scored their final touchdown of the night on an 8-yard run from Clowdus. Sand Springs finished the night with a 4-yard pass from Pennington to Snodgrass, and a two-point pass attempt fell incomplete.

Pennington ended the night 15-38-296-1 with career-high yardage, but a career-low completion percentage, his first career interception, and his first career rushing touchdown. Campbell was 6-139 receiving and Snodgrass was 7-115. The two were well over 200 all-purpose yards as Campbell had 5 kick returns for 92 yards and Snodgrass had 4 for 98.

The Sandites will look to get back in the win column with a Thursday night Fall Break home game against No. 11 Ponca City (3-3, 1-2). Bartlesville will host No. 1 Bixby (6-0, 3-0) Thursday.
