CPHS Track: Sandites compete at Texas Border Brawl, Baughman wins 800

Nelson Yazzie ran the third leg of the 4x800 relay, helping set the third-best time in school history. 

The Charles Page High School track and field team traveled to Mansfield, Texas Saturday to take part in a Border Brawl pitting the five Mansfield high schools against four members of the Frontier Valley Conference. 

Broken Arrow, Sand Springs, Jenks, and Union took on Mansfield High School, Mansfield Lake Ridge, Mansfield Legacy, Mansfield Summit, and Mansfield Timberview. The home town defended its turf handily as Mansfield Lake Ridge edged out Union for the men's title, and dominated the women's competition with nearly as many points as the next two teams combined. 

Aden Baughman won the 800-meter run handily in 1:55.32, followed by Jaelyn Jackson in second place with a personal record of 2:00.99. Ian Baustert placed fifth in the 1600 with a PR 4:43.46, Nelson Yazzie set a PR of 4:52.65 for tenth place, and Jacob Smith placed twentieth with a PR of 5:11.43. Smith also smashed his PR in the 3200, finishing fifth in 10:32.14.

Joel Mackey placed fourth in the 100 and fifth in the 200 with times of 11.37 and 22.56, respectively. Joseph Mattison placed sixteenth in the 100 with a PR of 11.85 and twentieth in the 200 with a PR 23.85.

The boys' relay teams continued to improve. Payton Scott, Mattison, Ben Nortey, and Mackey placed ninth in the 4x100 in 44.33 seconds, the best Sandite performance in several years. Jackson, Baustert, Yazzie, and Baughman ran the 4x800 and nearly broke the school record, placing second in 8:18.66, only 1.4 seconds behind the 2013 Regional Championship team. 

Malonn Moyer crushed his previous PR in the discus throw, placing fourth with a distance of 131'09.00". He also placed ninth in shot put with a distance of 43'02.50".

Elizabeth Watts finished eleventh in the 300 hurdles with a PR 53.7 seconds. Tiqvah Soap placed fifth in the 800 run with a PR 2:36.79 and eleventh in the 400 dash with a PR 1:06.73.

CPHS Baseball: Sandites run rule Tulsa Memorial 10-1 in five innings

In their best offensive showing of the season thus far, the Charles Page High School varsity baseball team (3-3) rolled to a 10-1 victory over the Tulsa Memorial Chargers (1-4) Saturday afternoon, securing the win via run rule after five innings.

The Sandites recorded eight hits, three sacrifices, and six stolen bases with only one strikeout, while picking up seven walks from the pitching-challenged Chargers, who went through four players on the mound. Conner Dennis (1-0, 2-0) handled the pitching for Sand Springs, throwing five strikeouts while only surrendering one hit.

The visitors wasted no time in taking the lead as Tyler Ash doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly from Cale Savage, who made his season-debut after a State Tournament basketball appearance just two days prior. Cal Watkins drew a walk, then scored on a wild pitch for a 2-0 first inning lead.

The host team scored their only run in the bottom of the first as Trent Wilkerson reached on a fielder's choice, took second on an error, then scored on a single from Zane Carter.

Sand Springs loaded the bases in the top of the third with walks from Savage and Lucas Adcock and a double from Braden Askew. Senior pitcher Matthew Erz walked in Savage for a free run, then Kameron Adcock hit a sacrifice fly to score Askew for the 4-1 lead.

Most of the damage came in the top of the fifth as Askew, Lucas Adcock, Malachi Burks, Watkins, and Savage all hit singles. Errors, wild pitches, and a sacrifice fly from Seth Villines contributed to the melee, and the Chargers had one last shot to make a comeback. 

Erz drew a walk, but Eli Harp flied out and Noah Tow grounded into a double play as Villines made a pass to Watkins at second who found John Miller at first to bring the game to a close.

The Sandites will return to action Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. when they host the Bixby Spartans (4-1). Memorial will take on Skiatook (1-4) in a district home game Monday at 4:30 p.m.

CPHS Baseball: Sandites top Hilldale 11-6, Ash strikes out six

The Charles Page High School baseball team (2-3) topped Hilldale High School 11-6 Friday night in Muskogee in a back and forth affair with four lead changes. 

The Hornets (1-3) stung first as Dalton Folsom drew a walk, made his way to third on an error, and scored on a single by Jaron Nail in the bottom of the first inning.

Tyler Ash got the start on the mound and struck out the side in the bottom of the third, bringing in the Sandites for their first go-ahead inning. Cal Watkins scored on an error, Askew came in on a balk, and Garrett McCallie scored on a wild pitch for the 3-1 advantage.

The Hornets jumped back out front in the bottom of the inning, however, loading the bases with a trio of walks. Nail and Dawson Neighbors scored on a double from Dylan Walker, then Blake Bishop scored on a throw. 

Ty Steelman (1-0, 1-1) took over pitching and gave up two walks, then Walker scored on an error before Steelman caught TJ Maxwell stealing home to bring the inning to a close.

The Sandites wasted no time in getting back out front, however, with four hits in the top of the fifth. Ash singled in Seth Villines, then Askew doubled to score Ash and Watkins. 

Hilldale loaded the bases in the bottom of the fifth, but Bishop flied out to Villines, who made a pass to Kyler Copeland for a tag at home to save the inning. 

Sand Springs piled on the runs in the next inning with RBI doubles from Lucas Adcock, Villines, and Ash. McCallie, Adcock, Villines, Steelman, and Ash all scored for an 11-5 lead. Dylan Morgan tacked on one last run for the Hornets in the bottom of the seventh, but Walker struck out swinging to bring the night to a close.

The Sandites will return to action Saturday at 11:00 a.m. on the road at Tulsa Memorial High School (1-3). Hilldale will hot Poteau (4-1) in a district battle Monday at 5:00 p.m.

The Charles Page High School boys' soccer team (2-1) improved to a winning record Friday afternoon at LaFortune Stadium, topping Northwest Classen (1-2) in the first round of the Edison Green & White Tournament. 

The Sandites and Knights went scoreless through regulation. Both teams took an increasing number of shots as time drew shorter, but neither could hit paydirt.

Luke Jeffus took a shot with thirteen minutes left and the goalie nearly fumbled the ball, then the Sandites got a pair of corner kicks in the last few minutes but couldn’t get a good drop due to a strong headwind.

The Knights worked their way down to the Sandite box in the last minute but Jeffus managed to snag a steal and keep them at bay till time ran out.

Jeffus, Jack Bratcher, David Fancher, and Cameron Summerton all made their overtime penalty kicks, while freshman keeper Xander Quiroga blocked two Classen kicks and got a hand on a third. 

The boys will return to action in the semifinals at 8:15 p.m. against Edison Preparatory School (1-1). 

CPHS Basketball: No. 2 Norman North fends off Sandites 51-44, Savage scores 14

The Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team made their first State Tournament appearance in 55 years Thursday night at Catoosa High School and nearly upset Class 6A No. 2 ranked Norman North (24-3). 

No. 10 Sand Springs (20-7) led the Timberwolves 21-18 at halftime, and were only four points behind in the final minute of the game before Norman North pulled away with free throws. 

Both teams started out playing the deep ball, Matthew Price drawing first blood for the Sandites. Juwan White hit a layup on the Timberwolves’ third possession, then Drake Stoops hit a three for the lead and followed it with a free throw. Cale Savage hit a layup for the Sandites but Shemar Smith dunked in retaliation. Smith scored back-to-back then Cale Savage drained a three to end the first period trailing 10-8.

Davon Richardson tied it up with a putback, Colt Savage and White traded free throws, then Price made a freebie for the 13-12 lead. Richardson and Josh Robinson exchanged twos then Colt Savage and Kendrick Williams added free throws. Layups from White and Stoops tied it at 18-18, but Cale Savage had the final say of the half with a last second three.

Richardson kicked off the second half with a pair of free throws, but three-pointers from Jalen Crutchfield, Stoops, and White pushed the Timberwolves back out front at 35-26 with a ten-point run before Richardson broke it up. Cale Savage scored another last-second three to make it 35-31.

Colt Savage and Smith traded layups in the fourth, then Price drained a three to make it a one-point game, briefly. White scored a two, Stoops made a three, and Smith dunked for a 44-36 lead. Colt Savage scored two from the stripe, Smith made a two, then Colt Savage and Cole Durkee combined for four more free throws.

With only 47 seconds to play, the Sandites turned to desperation fouls. The Timberwolves made the most of them, pulling ahead to 51-42 before Colt Savage finished his high school career with an uncontested layup in the final moments. 

The Savage brothers were the only two Sandites in double digits. Colt, a University of Central Oklahoma-committed senior, posted a double-double with fourteen points and eleven rebounds, while Cale scored eleven points. Richardson finished with eight points and ten rebounds. Stoops led all scorers with seventeen points, followed by White with fourteen and Smith with thirteen. 

The Timberwolves will get to play the big stage at the Oral Roberts University Mabee Center Friday at 4:30 p.m. against No. 3 Putnam City North (23-5). The Putnam North Panthers prevailed 43-41 over No. 4 Union (22-5) in their quarterfinal matchup.
