The No. 4 ranked Charles Page High School girls basketball team (16-1) rolled to a convincing 56-33 home victory over 5A No. 16 Bishop Kelley (6-11) Friday night at the Ed Dubie Field House, taking a 30-6 halftime lead and holding the Lady Comets to nothing but free throws in the first half. Ohio State Volleyball-commit Gloria Mutiri made her return after missing two games with a sprained ankle and scored 4.

Sophomores Isabella Regalado and Destiny Johnson scored the first points of the game for a 4-0 lead before giving up a pair of free throws to Michaela Martin. Holly Kersgieter added one from the charity stripe for Sand Springs, then Macy Craig added two more for the Comets to make it 5-4. That was the closest they would get for the rest of the night.

Sand Springs went on an eighteen-point run from there and Johnson finished the first quarter with ten points for a 18-4 lead. Regalado kicked off the second quarter and Connors State Softball-signed senior Jessica Collins posted another two before Kelley got back into the game with another pair of free throws from Martin. Johnson hit a two and a free throw, then Mutiri scored four-straight to end the half.

The second half was far more balanced as the two teams each scored thirteen in the third quarter and Bishop Kelley actually won the fourth quarter 14-13 against the Sandite second-string.

Johnson led all scorers with fifteen points, followed by Martin with thirteen for the Comets. Regalado also broke double digits with ten.

The Lady Sandites will return to action next Tuesday at No. 14 Broken Arrow (10-8), who they already defeated 66-45 earlier this season. The Comets will travel to No. 19 Sapulpa (7-10) who they defeated 51-44 earlier this season.

Seven Sand Springs High School students signed letters-of-intent Wednesday morning in the Ed Dubie Field House, bringing the grand total of college-bound athletes from the Class of 2017 to fourteen.

Sand Springs has two softball players, two cross-country runners, two baseball players, one basketball player, three football players, one volleyball player, and two soccer players all headed to the next level.

Delvin Jordan signed on a football scholarship to Pittsburg State University. The linebacker had one of the most prolific careers in Sandite history, racking up 310 tackles as a four-year starter. He holds 45 tackles-for-loss and 31 sacks with three interception for two touchdowns, seven fumble recoveries for three touchdowns, and two blocked kicks for one safety. He was a four-year starter in the first-ever class of Sandites to make the playoffs four-straight years. The Sandites went 28-19 during his career and were the 2015 6A-II State Runner-Up.

He made the All-State, All-Tulsa World, and VYPE Top-100 teams. He was also selected as the 2015 Sandite Pride Defensive Player of the Year and is currently a nominee for the 2016 Sandite Pride recognition. He is currently ranked as the No. 1 wrestler in 6A at 220 pounds and has a 35-2 season record and 66-14 career record. He was the 2016 6A-East Regional Champion and State Qualifier. He has been named the Sandite of the Week twice, once for football and once for wrestling.

PSU is an NCAA-Division II and MIAA program coached by Tim Beck. The Gorillas went 7-4 this past season.

Seven Sand Springs High School students signed letters-of-intent Wednesday morning in the Ed Dubie Field House, bringing the grand total of college-bound athletes from the Class of 2017 to fourteen.

Sand Springs has two softball players, two cross-country runners, two baseball players, one basketball player, three football players, one volleyball player, and two soccer players all headed to the next level.

Offensive Lineman Lincoln Adams accepted a football scholarship to Oklahoma Baptist University, as did running back/linebacker Dalton Morgan. Both were regular starters in the first-ever class of Sandites to make the playoffs four-straight years. Sand Springs went 28-19 during their career and were the 2015 6A-II State Runners-Up. Offensive linemen don't really have stats, but if they did then Adams' would be impressive. He was a regular play-maker throughout the season, and one of the biggest contributors to the best Sandite run-game in years. He was the District-II Offensive Lineman of the Year and All-State and All-VYPE second-team pick.

Morgan carried 42 times this season for 247 yards and one touchdown, and also threw a 29-yard touchdown pass on a trick play. As a receiver he had 9 catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns. He broke the 100-yard mark in a rivalry win against Sapulpa on 11 carries. As a linebacker he had 44 career tackles with one sack and two fumble recoveries. He also made the All Frontier Valley Conference Academic team. OBU is an NCAA-Division II school, playing in the Great American Conference. They are coached by Chris Jensen and went 2-9 this past season.

Seven Sand Springs High School students signed letters-of-intent Wednesday morning in the Ed Dubie Field House, bringing the grand total of college-bound athletes from the Class of 2017 to fourteen.

Sand Springs has two softball players, two cross-country runners, two baseball players, one basketball player, three football players, one volleyball player, and two soccer players all headed to the next level.

Kendal Zicker accepted a soccer scholarship to Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The Riverhawks are coached by Chase Wooten and are an NCAA Division-II team competing in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. They finished the 2016 season with a 13-5-1 record, falling in the first round of the MIAA Championship. Zicker was the second-highest scoring player on the 2016 Lady Sandite team with 12 goals and two braces. She was an Offensive MVP and was named to the All-District team. The Lady Sandites went 9-6 last season.
