The Charles Page High School varsity soccer teams suffered defeat Tuesday night at the hands of the Owasso Rams.

The Lady Sandites fell 9-0 and the boys went down 2-1 in a pair of district matches at their home field in Memorial Stadium. 

The Owasso girls (7-4, 3-2) took a 3-0 first half lead on Sand Springs (7-5, 1-4) with goals from Morgan Krispense, Gracie Pate, and a free kick from Faith Lewis that barely sneaked past the outstretched arms of Sandite goalkeeper Allison Day. 

Shelby Gibbs, Kassidy Collins, Baylee Kosciolek, Reagan Krueger, Sasha Pedersen, and Hope Kasterke each notched goals in the second half against the Lady Sandites.

The boys' game was far closer and both teams entered the second half scoreless.

Sandite goalie Ethan Tippit notched a beautiful save on a penalty kick in the first few minutes and was crucial throughout the game. 

Sand Springs (4-8, 0-5) took the lead in the 57th minute with a goal from sophomore standout Luke Jeffus, but Kolby Bauer responded with a brace, scoring at 67:42 and 76:10 for the victory. Owasso improves to 7-4 overall and 2-3 in district action.

Tyler Ash was selected as our Sandite of the Week after helping the Sand Springs Baseball team extend their winning streak to fourteen at the Spartan/Tiger Turf War this past weekend.

Ash was five-of-nineteen at the plate over the six games, hitting two singles, one double, and two home runs. His homers came against Jenks and Bixby. Ash led his team offensively with six runs and six RBI. He also stole three bases over the course of the tournament.

In the Tournament finals the Sandites topped Booker T. Washington 11-3 and Ash went the distance on the mound, pitching three hits, five strikeouts, and no walks in five innings with zero earned runs. 

Overall this season Ash holds a .284 batting average, .432 slugging average, .418 on-base percentage, 4.27 earned run average, and a 2-1 record on the mound.

Ty Steelman was two-for-two at the plate against Booker T. Washington and scored three runs.

The Sand Springs juggernaut is showing no signs of slowing down and the Charles Page High School baseball team secured their fourteenth-straight victory in the Championship round of the Spartan/Tiger Turf War. 

The Sandites (18-6) easily handed Booker T. Washington (11-13) an 11-3 loss with a dominant performance at the plate and on the mound.

Riley Rutledge scored Tyler Ash on a double and came in on a ground ball by Kyler Copeland for a 2-0 first inning lead. Wes Omalley scored on an error to get the Hornets on the board in the second inning, but Ash responded by doubling in Kameron Adcock and Ty Steelman.

A pair of errors in the top of the third helped the Hornets cut it to a one-run deficit, but Sand Springs exploded in the bottom of the inning for a 10-3 advantage. 

Kameron Adcock hit a sacrifice fly to score Cale Savage, then Copeland, Lucas Adcock, and Ty Steelman loaded the bases with two singles and a walk. Cal Watkins singled to bring in Malachi Burks and Lucas Adcock, then Rutledge was hit by pitch to reload. Steelman scored on an error, then Braden Askew hit a double to score Watkins and Rutledge. 

Watkins was next up with a double in the fourth inning to bring in Steelman for the final run of the game. 

Ash (2-1) got the win on the mound, pitching three hits, five strikeouts, no walks, and no earned runs in five innings.
