CPHS Basketball: Bartlesville upsets No. 10 Sand Springs 59-52, Savage scores 20

The Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School boys' basketball team (11-4 overall, 4-3 conference) suffered their first upset of the season Tuesday night, falling 59-52 to unranked Bartlesville (6-10, 2-5). Previously the Sandites had only dropped games to top-five teams.

The Sandites pulled away from the Bruins only one time in the first quarter, briefly taking a 10-5 lead before Jaylin Oliver hit a three point basket. Cale Savage hit a three of his own, then DeAndre Young hit another tre for the Bruins. Davon Richardson scored in the paint, then Andrew Gronigan cut it to 15-14 to end the stanza.

Shane Simpson gave the home team their second lead of the game to start the second period, Colt Savage and Matthew Price scored back-to-back to make it 19-16, then Tayo Dina and Oliver scored back-to-back to reclaim the lead. Colt Savage put the Sandites back out front one last time, then Bartlesville ran the rest of the half by as much as 28-23 before Cale Savage hit a deep two before the end of the period.

Dina came out hot in the second half and scored from both two and three-point range. The teams traded blows throughout the period but neither got much of a run. The Sandites scored only five points, all from Colt Savage, and trailed 39-30 to start the fourth.

Things improved from there as Richardson and Cole Durkee scored back-to-back to open up the stanza. The Bruins still led 46-38 with 3:35 to play when Bilger fouled out. Richardson and Colt Savage both scored free throws, Dina hit a two, then Savage scored his first three of the night for the closest score of the second half, 48-44, with 1:50 to play. That was as close as it would get.

Dina made a three-point play, then Dina and Oliver both added two apiece from the stripe to put the game in the bag. Jonathan Quier came in and scored three off a rebound, Dina added two more, Gage Fisher scored three, Oliver scored two more, then Josh Minney posted the last points of the night for Sand Springs.
