CPHS Basketball: Sandites punch ticket to State Tournament with 55-53 win over No. 8 Owasso

The No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School boys' basketball team (19-7) is headed to the State Tournament for the first time in decades after a thrilling 55-53 win over the No. 8 Owasso Rams (21-6).

In the Area Consolation finals, fifth-year Head Coach Eric Savage returned to his former home, playing at Tulsa Memorial High School where he previously won two 5A State Championships with the Chargers. Now, he'll get to make his first trip to the OSSAA 6A State Tournament, and he'll bring his three sons with him. Senior University of Central Oklahoma-commit Colt Savage led all scorers with twenty points in the biggest win for Sand Springs in recent memory. 

The Sandites stole the Rams’ first possession and scored on a deep ball by sophomore standout Davon Richardson. Mason Downs put up two for Owasso, then Jake Thompson made a three-point play for the lead. Matt Price hit another three, but Thompson continued his streak to give the Rams the lead for the duration of the first period, scoring ten in that stanza alone.

A Richardson layup and a pair of free throws from Colt Savage got the Sandites back in striking distance in the second period. Seth Pomeroy made a pair of freebies, then Savage scored four. Josh Proctor and Cale Savage traded free throws to tie it at 22-22, then Cale made a buzzer-beater three with an assist from Colt.

Richardson scored first in the second half, but multiple turnovers gave Pomeroy back-to-back threes for the lead. Richardson took it back with a three-point play. Price and Hayden Peterson traded layups, then Richardson hit two more from the stripe. Peterson made another layup then Thompson tied it from the stripe before Colt Savage hit his first deep ball of the night. Pomeroy notched another pair of free throws, then Cale Savage scored a pair of threes for a 43-37 lead.

Colt Savage started the final stanza with two, Thompson and Price traded free throws, then Kendrick Williams iced a three for the first double-digit lead of the game. The Rams battled back quickly, however, going on a 9-1 run to make it 50-48 before Colt Savage made another pair of free throws.

Proctor stepped up with a three then Garrett Killion hit a pair of free throws for the Owasso advantage. Proctor had the chance to strengthen that lead with fifty seconds left but missed two free throws. Price snagged the rebound and hoofed it to Colt Savage who drew a foul and made a free shot to tie it. 

Richardson snagged a steal with 21 seconds left, then Proctor sent Colt Savage to the line with 13.5 remaining to sink a pair for the lead. The rest is history.

Richardson had his third double-double of the season and finished with fifteen points while Cale Savage scored eleven to put three Sandites in double figures. Thompson led Owasso with seventeen, followed by Pomeroy with thirteen and Proctor with eleven.

CPHS Basketball: Boys advance to Area finals with 67-63 win over Bartlesville

The Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School boys basketball team (18-7) came away with a 67-63 win over No. 20 Bartlesville High School (9-16) in a very gritty matchup that came down to the final few seconds of the first-round Area playoffs.

The game was very back and forth from the start with both teams trading baskets much of the first quarter. Cale Savage started the scoring off with a pair of free throws followed by seven straight points by the Bruins. Bruin guards Tayo Dina and Jaylin Oliver got on the board early and often for their squad, leading the game in scoring with 25 and 21 points respectively.

Colt Savage drained a pair of his own free throws and Matthew Price tied the game with a three pointer. Davon Richardson scored five points in the quarter for the Sandites, but the Bruins held the lead 17-16 after a deep buzzer-beater three from Oliver. 

The Sandites began to pull away in the second quarter, with Cale Savage scoring six of his team-high, career-high fourteen points in the period. Two three-pointers by Kendrick Williams and a pair of free throws by Cole Durkee sealed a seven-point lead at the break for Sand Springs.  

The third quarter continued the trend of the Sandites pulling away with balanced team scoring, despite Oliver and Dina doing everything they could to keep their squad in the game scoring thirteen of the sixteen Bruin points in the stanza.  

Boasting an eleven-point lead as the final quarter began, a basket by Josh Minney and a Durkee free throw pushed the lead to the largest of the game at fourteen. Then Bartlesville began chipping away, applying a full court press to force a multitude of Sandite turnovers. With just 9.8 seconds left the Bruins had cut the lead to 3, but missed their opportunity to tie the game, and a Cale Savage free throw sealed the victory for Sand Springs.  

The Sandites will return to action Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m. when they play No. 8 Owasso (21-5) at Tulsa Memorial High School. The winning team will advance to the State Tournament, while the loser will end their season. The Sandites trumped the Rams 72-64 in December, but Owasso repaid the loss 97-77 in February.

CPHS Soccer: Sandites split with East Central, girls win 6-0 shutout

The Charles Page High School girls' soccer team kicked off the season with a bang Friday night at Memorial Stadium, routing East Central High School 6-0 in a non-district match, while the boys fell 3-2 in a second-half thriller.

The girls got off to a slow start, but kept the action on the Cardinals’ side of the field for the most part, despite playing into a steady headwind. Once they got going they were hard to stop, however. Kylie Taylor notched the first goal at 14:18 then Julia Wolf booted the second at 26:12. Wolf nearly had another a minute later but etched it just a foot or two wide.

Emma Peak was next in on the scoring action sending one in on a corner kick at 28:25. Katie Daniels bounced one in off the goalie at 30:36. Daniels took another shot on goal a minute later but this time the keeper was ready for the save.

Morgan Poletek kicked off the second half with a goal at 43:53, then Wolf hit her second at 58:27. 

The East Central boys were a whole different beast, keeping the Sandites on their toes with a great pass game and aggressive offense. 

The Cardinals appeared to score at 21:40 but the shooter was called offsides. Gustavo Saldana had an on-goal shot at 27:00 but the keeper handily picked it out of the air. Hector Dimas scored the lone goal of the first half at 30:29.

Xander Quiroga had a spectacular save at 54:39, then Luke Jeffus tied it up at 70:16. Jose Lucio reclaimed the Cardinal lead at 74:46, Jeffus tied it again at 77:06, then Richard Rosales clinched the visitors' win with forty seconds remaining. 

Both Sand Springs teams will return to action Tuesday, March 6th with a non-district home game against Tulsa Memorial High School. The Lady Charges started the season with an 8-0 shutout by Claremore, while the boys' team fell 4-3. The girls will kick off varsity action at 6:00 p.m. followed by the boys at 8:00.

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team dropped its season-opener Thursday evening, falling 7-5 in a non-district game at Coweta. The Tigers jumped out to an early lead with three runs in the first inning and were 7-1 after four innings before the Sandites made a comeback.

Coweta scored two on the first hit of the game as Seth Marrujo homered in Logan Vaughan. JD Geneva singled and courtesy runner Cash Singleton scored on an error soon after.

Sand Springs got their feet wet in the second inning with doubles from Riley Rutledge and Tyler Ash, the latter scoring the former. 

The home team jumped further out front in the third thanks to a pair of walks, four singles, and an error. Ty Decker, Reed Gaddy, and Jesse McDermott all singled on loaded bases for the 6-1 advantage. Reid Stockman scored the Tigers' final run in the fourth on a sacrifice fly from Geneva.

Ty Steelman got the Sandites back on track in the fifth, singling in Malachi Burks, then scored on a sacrifice by Rutledge. Cal Watkins and Steelman drew walks to start the sixth. Braden Askew doubled in Watkins and Steelman scored on a single from Rutledge for the final runs of the game.

Brock Youngblood (0-1, 6-9) got the start and the loss on the mound, giving up five hits and three walks with one strikeout over two innings. Steelman took over and pitched four strikeouts and two walks in three innings, while Ash pitched cleanup. 

The Sandites will look to get in the win column Saturday in their home debut against Midwest City at 1:00 p.m.

View fullsize

CLAREMORE - The undefeated Class 6A No. 2 ranked Bartlesville High School Girls' Basketball team (25-1) is undefeated no more. The Sand Springs Sandites repaid a 53-42 regular season loss with a 52-40 Area Championship win to clinch their spot on the State Tournament bracket.

No. 13 Charles Page High School (18-7) will play the OSSAA 6A State Tournament for the second-straight year after topping the Frontier Valley Conference Champions. Bartlesville will have to beat the winner of No. 11 Norman North (17-8) vs. No. 14 Shawnee (21-4) Saturday afternoon at Daniel Webster High School if they want to make the State Tournament. 

It took Bartlesville half a minute to find a lane on their opening drive. They didn’t find the basket, however, and Destiny Johnson took the rebound to the house. The Bruins missed three field goal attempts and gave up two free throws to Jacie Taber before finding their rhythm with layups from Jena Williams and Erin Shoemaker.

Johnson made two more layups for an 8-4 lead before Avery Allen hit the first three-pointer of the night. Taber hit another from the charity stripe and Holly Kersgieter made a two for an 11-7 lead before Shoemaker completed a three-point play to close the first quarter.

Isabella Regalado and Shoemaker traded threes to start the second period. Regalado went to the line and made one free throw, then Johnson rebounded the second for a 17-14 advantage. Williams made a free throw, then Shoemaker and Williams hit back-to-back threes for the first Bruin lead of the game with two minutes left on the half. Bartlesville held a 24-19 lead to end the period.

The Sandites were explosive in the second half, kicking things off with a three-point play from Kersgieter. Destiny Harris made a three, then the Sandites went on a six-point run. Shoemaker iced another three then Regalado scored five and Kersgieter made three more for the biggest lead of the game at 36-30 before Vivian Culver scored three to end the period.

The Bruins battled back early in the fourth to tie it at 39-39, but Sand Springs ran away with a ten-point streak from there for a double-digit lead with 42 seconds left. 

Kersgieter, a University of Kansas-committed junior, led all scorers with nineteen points, followed by Johnson with twelve, Regalado with eleven, and Taber with eight. Shoemaker led the Bruins with eighteen and Williams contributed thirteen. Johnson had a double-double with twelve rebounds.
