Sand Springs made a splash at Oklahoma BASS Nation's first Qualifier of the year.

Charles Page High School Class of 2009 graduate Chad Warren took first place out of 49 boaters at Lake Texoma Sunday, April 8th. 

Warren caught the five-fish limit for 20.68 pounds, beating the runner-up by 2.23. 

CPHS student Noah Daczewitz took second place out of 48 competitors in the Non-Boater division, bringing in three fish. 

Daczewitz came in runner up by 2.76 pounds with a total of 11.22 pounds, the biggest of which was 5.14 pounds. 

The next Qualifier will be held May 20th at Keystone Lake. BASS Nation holds four Qualifiers and the top ten Pro-anglers and Co-anglers will qualify for the State team and compete at the Regional Championship.

Daczewitz also competes on the OBN High School circuit and is currently 60th in the trail standings together with teammate Hunter Hilger. The duo placed fourteenth at the State Championship event on Grand Lake last month, but that tournament did not count towards trail standings. 

CPHS Fishing: Three teams place top-twenty at State Championship

Several fishing teams from Charles Page High School competed in the recent Oklahoma Bass Nation High School Championship. Two teams finished in the top fifteen and three in the top twenty out of 125. 

More than forty teams failed to land a single catch Saturday, March 31st on Grand Lake. 

Mack Taylor and Reese David placed thirteenth with three fish totaling 9.49 pounds.

Hunter Hilger and Noah Daczewitz placed fourteenth with four fish totaling 9.03 pounds. 

Collin Brady and Hayden King placed seventeenth with three fish totaling 8.33 pounds.

Kale and Kyle Hilligoss placed 55th with a 3.24 pound bass. 

John Miller and Caden Pennington caught a 2.69 pound bass for 61st place. 

Carl McCalaflin and Hunter Johnson came in 67th with a 2.24 pound catch. 

The teams aren't officially sponsored by the schools and don't receive public funding. Each team consists of two student anglers and one adult coach/pilot. They are responsible for providing their own boat, supplies, and entry fees, and do so through corporate sponsorships. Sand Springs has eleven teams.

Kiowa's Lane Couch and Noah Belt won the State title with an 18.13 pound catch, hauling in the five-fish limit. Spiro came in runner-up with five fish totaling 15.95 pounds, and both teams qualified for the National Championship later this summer. Dale High had the largest fish of the tournament at 5.87 pounds. 

Five more teams will qualify for Nationals from the Trail events. The Hilligoss team is currently third in team standings after a runner-up finish at the first event of the season. Taylor and David are ranked ninth, Ty Steelman and Braden Millican are thirteenth, Seth Kearns and Cole Scott are 25th, Daczewitz and Hilger are 60th, Miller and Pennington are 71st. State Championship results will not count toward Trail standings. 

The next Trail events will be held at Lake Texoma on May 5th and 6th. 

CPHS Softball: Sandites top Broken Arrow 19-8 and Berryhill 9-0

The 2018 Slow Pitch Softball season has been a mess for the Sand Springs Sandites with more cancellations than gamedays.

After starting the season 2-3, the Charles Page High School Softball team had to cancel seven-straight games due to weather and field conditions before getting back into the swing of things at the Haskell Tournament. 

The Ides of March saw a split double header as the Class 6A No. 14 ranked Lady Sandites (3-6) upset No. 5 Broken Arrow (7-4) in game one before getting hammered in the second installment.

Sand Springs easily handled the Tigers in game one, more than doubling the Tigers in both runs and hits. 

Elizabeth Luttrell hit a two RBI home run in the third inning for a 6-0 lead, then Sabrina Usher, Luttrell, Kimi Presnell, and Madelyn Blair all hit home runs in the bottom of the fourth to make it 11-4. Taber, Blair, and Presnell hit homers in the sixth and the Sandites prevailed 19-8. 

Game two was a total reversal as the Tigers dominated Sand Springs 31-8. Broken Arrow piled on fifteen runs in the third inning for a 20-3 lead. Presnell hit a home run in the bottom of the third, the Tigers pushed it to 31-3 in the top of the fourth, then Presnell scored Cameron Clemons and Makenna Skaggs with a home run for the final runs of the game.

On Thursday the Sandites fell by a single run after leading No. 10 Jenks (11-4) for the entire game till the Trojans pulled away in the bottom of the fourth. 

Sand Springs took a 5-0 first inning lead capped by a two-run homer by Blair, then Presnell did the same in the second inning to make it 7-0. Skaggs, Presnell, and Jensen Arnold hit home runs in the third, then Rachel Jones, Presnell, and Arnold homered in the fourth for a 19-9 advantage. 

The Trojans picked up five walks and four home runs for a 20-19 lead in the bottom of the fourth before time expired. The Trojans swept the competition for first place in the tournament.

The Sandites went down 16-5 to 4A No. 12 Haskell (12-8), but easily handled 5A No. 11 Berryhill (13-8) in the third round of the tournament. Presnell was two-for-two at the plate with two homers and Clemons scored one of her own for the 9-0 shutout. 

Oktaha was another close loss as the 4A No. 19 Tigers (11-4) prevailed 18-16 and fended off a sixth-inning rally. Arnold hit a home run and the Sandites led 5-2 in the top of the second, but Oktaha rallied in the bottom of the inning to make it 8-5.

Blair homered in the third, Presnell and Arnold in the fourth, and the Sandites jumped back out front at 11-8, but the Tigers took the lead once and for all in the bottom of the fourth. Blair hit another home run in the fifth.

Sand Springs Softball will return to action Monday at 5:00 p.m. when they host a double-header against 5A No. 8 Kellyville (12-6).

CPHS Baseball: Sandites win 8th straight, shut out Hilldale 12-0

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team (12-6, 2-2) won their eighth-straight game Friday afternoon, overcoming cold, wind, rain, and Hornets for a 12-0 run-rule shutout of Hilldale High School (5-10). 

Brock Youngblood (2-3, 8-11) pitched six strikeouts against only two hits and one walk in four innings on the mound. 

The Sandites got on the board right away as Tyler Ash scored on a wild pitch and Riley Rutledge scored on an error in the first inning. Kameron Adcock scored on a balk and Ty Steelman stole home in the second inning and Cale Savage brought in Rutledge with a double in the third. 

It looked like the Hornets would finally get on the board in the top of the fourth, but after an error and a pair of singles, Youngblood stranded loaded bases with a pair of strikeouts and the Sandites continued the melee.

Steelman's rabid base running continued in the fourth inning. After hitting a single he stole second, made third on a wild pitch, and scored on an error. Ash reached on an error, Watkins singled, and Malachi Burks walked to load the bases. Ash walked in, Watkins scored on an error, John Miller singled in Burks, Rutledge walked in, then Ash doubled to score Savage and Miller for the final runs of the game.

Sand Springs Baseball will return to action Monday at 5:00 p.m. when the Sandites host Ponca City (4-16, 1-5) in district action. Hilldale will host Salina (9-7) next Thursday at 5:00 p.m.

Charles Page High School senior Colt Savage was named to the Oklahoma Coaches Association Large East All-State team Thursday. The 6'5" eldest son of Head Coach Eric Savage will continue his basketball career at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Savage led the Sandites in many statistical categories this past season, including: scoring, free throw percentage, defensive rebounding, and steals. He led the team in scoring on twenty occasions as the Sandites made the State Tournament for the first time since 1963.

Savage was second on the team in scoring as a freshman with 10.3 points per game. He led in seven different games and posted a season-high eighteen points against the Wichita Defenders.

As a sophomore Savage averaged 14.5 points per game, led on eight occasions, and scored a season-high 25 points against Nathan Hale. He was second in scoring overall. 

Savage was not only the leading scorer for the Sandites as a junior, but he was also the leading scorer for the entire Frontier Valley Conference with 22.5 points per game. He also averaged 6.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 steals, and led the team in nineteen games. He scored a season-high 34 points against Bixby.

Savage led his team in twenty games as a senior and averaged 20.6 points per game with a career-high 35 points against Redemption Life World Academy. He averaged 5.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.6 steals, while shooting 50.2% on field goals, 25.6% on three-pointers, 62.6% on two-pointers, and 77.3% on free throws. 

The All-State game will be played July 26th at the Oral Roberts University Mabee Center, and will pit the top players from each side of the state. The game will reunite Savage with former teammate Brooks Haddock, who transferred from Sand Springs to Muskogee after his sophomore year. 

Haddock, who is signed with Oklahoma Wesleyan University, led the Sandites in scoring as a freshman and a sophomore. He averaged 12.6 points per game as a freshman, sixteen as a sophomore, 20.3 as a junior, and seventeen as a senior.
