CPHS Cross Country: Sandites place 12th at Broken Arrow, host Case Invitational Saturday

The Lady Sandites were twelfth of fourteen schools, led by Chezney Kelley with a time of 24:19 for 61st place. The youthful squad has a bright future with only one senior in the top-five and two freshmen.

A senior-laden boys' team placed twelfth of eighteen schools, led by Nelson Yazzie in 17:35 for eleventh place. Freshman Alejandro Lopez made his way into the scoring squad with an 87th place finish in 20:22. The host team secured the title, led by senior champion Blake McConkay in 16:48. 

Sand Springs will return to action this Saturday with their first ever home meet. The Inaugural Case Cross Country Invitational will coincide with the annual Conner's Classic 5K. The Conner's Classic is open to the public as a fundraiser for youth and special needs running. 

Conner's Classic will begin at 7:00 a.m. followed by an Elementary one-mile race at 8:00 a.m. Varsity Girls will run the 5K at 9:00 a.m, followed by Varsity Boys, JV Girls, and JV Boys at thirty-minute intervals.

CPHS Football Preview: No. 8 Sandites to take on Arkansas State Champions

(Photo: Morgan Miller).

After securing their first victories of the 2018 season, Sand Springs and Greenwood, Arkansas will both be looking to improve to a winning record Friday night at Smith Robinson Stadium.

The first-ever meeting between the two teams will be played on the home turf of the defending Arkansas 6A State Champions. A daunting foe, but not something the Sandites aren't used to. Sand Springs took on the Arkansas 5A State Champions from Pulaski Academy the past two years. Both were brutal losses, but helped prepare the Sandites for some of the tough district battles to come. 

Greenwood went undefeated in three-straight regular seasons before losing their opener this year. They made it to the State finals three years in a row before finally wining their eighth gold ball last season.

CPHS Football: No. 8 Sandites pummel No. 9 Putnam City 45-24

Warr Acres - Class 6A-II No. 8 ranked Charles Page High School (1-1) rolled into Putnam City Stadium looking for their first win of the season. They got it, and then some. The Sandites dominated No. 9 Putnam City High School 45-24 and led by as much as 35 points before sending in the backups.

Senior quarterback Caden Pennington had another impressive game with 9 completions for 169 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He threw passes to six different receivers, led by Braden Foster with two catches for 49 yards and Daren Hawkins with three catches for 43 yards and two touchdowns. Colten Roberts had one touchdown. 

Seven Sandites racked up yardage on the ground, led by Joel Mackey with 150 yards and a score on thirteen carries and Trey Wilkerson with 109 yards and two touchdowns on twelve carries. 

Hayden Cramer led the Sandite defense with double-digit tackles, including a forced fumble, while Brycen Peterman led on tackles for loss. 

The visitors wasted no time in getting on the board, marching eighty yards in seven plays and scoring on a six-yard pass from Pennington to Hawkins. Jaden Weiser's point-after kick was blocked, but Pennington made up for it with a two-point run after a 62-yard touchdown run by Mackey. 

The Pirates’ first possession was a quick three-and-out and the second ended in a fumble at the Sandite 38. Pennington found Justin Roe for 30 yards and Garrett McCallie ran for 28 more to land at the Pirate two-yard line. A holding call and a pair of incomplete passes later and Weiser got to kick his first field goal of the season from 26 yards.

Sand Springs took a 17-0 lead into the second quarter, but the Pirates finally hit pay dirt on a 27-yard field goal from Sam De La Pena.

Putnam forced the Sandites to punt and marched back down to  the Sandite 29 before once again fumbling the ball away to Peterman. Eleven plays later and Pennington hit Colten Roberts from seventeen yards out. Ty Rutledge recovered a fumble on the corresponding kick return and Pennington turned to Hawkins for a 25-yard score on the next play. Weiser's point-after kicks both sailed true and the Sandites took a 31-3 lead into the locker room.

The Pirates found their mojo on the opening drive of the second half, scoring on the sixth play with a 45-yard run from Keylhan Henderson. Julian DeLoera made the extra point to put it back at a three-score game. 

Sand Springs was equally ready for action, pummeling their way down to the two yard line where Wilkerson made his first score of the night. He scored again on their next drive ,this time from 42 yards out for the final Sand Springs points of the night.

Tyrece Romesburg scored a fourteen-yard keeper on the opening play of the fourth quarter, then threw a five-yard pass to Seth Wisby with seventeen seconds to play. 

Sand Springs will play the second leg of a three-week road series next Friday at 7:00 p.m. against Arkansas 6A No. 2 Greenwood (0-1). The Pirates will travel to 6A-II No. 3 Bixby High School (1-1).
