CPHS Basketball: Davon Richardson posts 24 points in 64-45 win at Jenks

Davon Richardson has been a consistent top-scorer for Sand Springs since transferring from Tulsa Central this year, but until Tuesday night he had yet to crack the twenty-point personal record he set as a freshman. The 6'4" sophomore finally had his breakout game in black and gold, tallying a game-high 24 points and ten rebounds in a 64-45 victory at Jenks.

The Class 6A No. 9 ranked Charles Page High School varsity basketball team improved to 10-2 overall and 4-1 in conference play with the dominant win over the Trojans (4-6, 0-4). 

The Sandites jumped out to a quick double-digit lead with baskets from Cale and Colt Savage, Richardson, and Matthew Price to make it 11-0 before the Trojans used a timeout to get their heads in the game. Richardson took a steal to the house to make it 13-0 before the home team closed out the first period with four-straight free throws from Eli Harris.

Harris continued to cut into the deficit with back-to-back layups in the second quarter and set the tone for an 18-17 Trojan win that still left the visitors with a 30-22 advantage to start the second half. That would be the only quarter the home team would win.

The Trojan offense stalled out in the third quarter, tallying only ten points, while Cale Savage scored seven and Richardson added four. Gage Fisher came off the bench to score two, and Josh Minney added one in the stanza.

The fourth quarter belonged wholly to Richardson and Colt Savage. The University of Central Oklahoma-committed elder son of Head Coach Eric Savage scored six points to finish the night with eighteen total, as well as five rebounds, five steals, and two assists. Richardson added ten points in that stanza alone and put the cap on his first double-double of the season.

Harris had the team-high for Jenks with nineteen points and was the only Trojan in double digits. Cale Savage scored eleven for the Sandites. 

Sand Springs will take a break from conference action Friday at 8:00 p.m. when they travel to Ponca City (1-9), who they devastated 77-34 in the season opener. Jenks will host No. 7 Sapulpa (8-2, 2-2) as they look for their first conference win.

CPHS Basketball: Regalado and Kersgieter score 23 apiece, girls beat Jenks 67-45

Isabella Regalado and University of Kansas-commit Holly Kersgieter scored 23 points apiece Tuesday night to start off the new year with a bang. The Class 6A No. 8 ranked Charles Page High School girls' basketball team (9-3) continued their undefeated start to conference play with a 67-45 win at No. 19 Jenks (6-4).

After starting the season 8-0 and claiming the top-spot in the top class, the Lady Sandites suffered three-straight losses at their Tournament of Champions debut to end 2017. They took their first step in the right direction by improving to 5-0 in the Frontier Valley Conference with a win at the Frank Herald Fieldhouse. 

Sand Springs jumped out to a quick 9-0 lead with points from Jacie Taber, Regalado, Destiny Johnson, and Kersgieter before Sydney Ellis scored the Trojans’ lone basket of the first quarter. By the start of the second stanza the Sandites were up 16-3.

The home team won the second quarter, barely, as the Lady Sandites turned to the bench and gave ten players solid game time. By the end of the half, Kersgieter had scored nearly as many baskets as the entire Jenks team with sixteen points and five rebounds. The Trojans went to the locker room trailing 31-20. 

The visitors won both periods in the second half, led by Regalado with eighteen points. After going one-of-seven from three-point range in the first half, Regalado flipped the script and went six-for-nine to tie Kersgieter and lead all scorers. Kersgieter had nine rebounds and Regalado was right behind her with seven. 

The Sandites scored seven points from the bench as Bree Berge hit two three-pointers and Darrian Jordan sank a free throw in her varsity debut. 

Haley Meely and Emma Wasson led the Trojans with eleven points apiece.

Sand Springs will travel to No. 20 Ponca City (7-4) Friday at 6:00 p.m. in a non-conference rematch of their Game One 77-61 victory. Jenks will host No. 15 Sapulpa (7-6) Friday. Both teams are 2-2 in conference action.

CPHS Basketball: Sandites fall 57-55 to Holland Hall, Johnson scores 21

The Class 6A No. 1 ranked Charles Page High School girls' basketball team (8-3) finished in eighth place at their first-ever trip to the prestigious Tournament of Champions. After an 8-0 start to the season, the girls' went 0-3 at the 53rd annual invitational tournament, falling 57-55 to 3A No. 6 Holland Hall (7-4).

The Sandites were led by junior standout Destiny Johnson with 21 points and thirteen rebounds, but Holland Hall's Gabby Gregory stole the show with 41 points and eleven rebounds, ending the tournament with a tournament-record 97 points over her three games. While Gregory was the only Holland Hall player in the double digits, University of Kansas-commit Holly Kersgieter had sixteen for the Sandites and Isabella Regalado contributed ten.

After five possession changes to start the game, Gregory finally hit paydirt with a three-point play for the Dutch. Sand Springs jumped out front with five-straight, Gregory scored three more, Regalado retook the lead with her fourth free throw of the morning, then the Dutch went on a nine-point run before Johnson scored her first field goal of the game to end the first period trailing 17-11.

Johnson blew up the second quarter, scoring the first two baskets and totaling thirteen in the stanza. Kersgieter was the only other Sandite to score. Holland Hall mirrored the Sandites with seven points from Gregory and a basket from Joci Lake. The Sandites led 26-25 and were draining the clock when Johnson was called for a travel and Gregory got one last shot to reclaim the lead before halftime.

Sand Springs came out hard in the second half, scoring seven-straight to close the third period 43-39 with a three-pointer and a transition layup from Jacie Taber.

Gregory tied things up at 47-47 with a three-pointer in the fourth quarter, Kersgieter reclaimed the lead, then the Dutch jumped out front once and for all with an eight-point run, mostly from the charity stripe. Trailing 55-49 with 51 seconds left, things didn't look good for Sand Springs, but they went down swinging. 

Regalado drilled a three-pointer and Kersgieter scored on a steal to make it a one-point game. Johnna Orange hit a free throw and Johnson had a shot to tie it at the line. She made her first basket, missed the second, and the Sandites look to be in good shape when Kersgieter caught the rebound. Then Kobi Thompson stripped the ball and was sent to the line for a free throw. The Sandites had the ball with 16.78 seconds and and a two-point deficit, but Carri Jones-Jackson stripped Johnson and sealed the victory.

The Sandites outperformed their foes in nearly every statistical category but accuracy, shooting 36% on field goals, which was actually their best performance of the three games. They were 9-of-19 on free throws while the Dutch were 17-of-20.

Sand Springs will return to action Tuesday, January 9th at 6:30 p.m. when they travel to 6A No. 19 Jenks (4-2 overall, 2-1 conference) for a Frontier Valley matchup. The Sandites are 4-0 in conference play. Holland Hall will host 4A Lincoln Christian (2-4) on the 9th.
