CPHS Wrestling: Sandites place fourth at Perry Tournament of Champions

Even without their defending two-time State Champion, the No. 5 ranked Charles Page High School wrestling team wrapped up an impressive fourth-place finish at the prestigious Perry Tournament of Champions Saturday afternoon.

The Sandites didn’t send anyone to the finals, but had seven placers to improve over their prior year’s eighth-place finish. The event marked the first tournament of Jarrod Patterson’s Head Coaching career at Sand Springs.

Brendan Wiseley placed third at 106, losing only to tournament champion Gabe Valencia, a returning State medalist. Wiseley only lost that match by a 5-4 decision, and breezed past most of his other opponents. He pinned Kansas State Qualifier Trent Clements in 1:35 and Aiden Odell in 5:46, and topped three-time YWL State Champion Guy Clevenger 6-2 in the consolation finals. One of his toughest opponents was his own teammate, freshman Christian Forbes.

Forbes had to settle for fifth place after losing 3-0 to Wiseley, and defeated Gabe Fontanez 10-3 in the placement round. He pinned Fontanez in the first match of the tournament, fell 5-3 to Clevenger, then defeated Clements 5-0 and Jose Becerril 7-3.

Seth Jones placed fourth at 126, falling 6-4 to Shawn Muse and 3-2 to Texas State Runner-Up John Richardson. He pinned Luke McCain in 3:01 and Kansas State Runner-Up Kael Pappan in 2:39, and won a 13-2 major decision against State Qualifier Kyler Damron.

Blake Jones placed third at 132, falling 8-0 to Kansas State Champion Gabe Buckbee in the semifinals. He majored State Qualifier Blayton Montgomery 10-0 and defeated Caleb Redman 5-3 before his loss, then pinned Montgomery in 2:32 in the consolation bracket before topping Takaya Matsuki in the finals.

Scott Patton finished third at 152, falling 5-2 to Kansas State Champion Montez Robinson in the semifinals. He majored Tyson Walker 16-2, pinned Zach Conrad in 4:00, and majored Dalton Misener 9-1 before his loss and rebounded with a 9-7 sudden victory decision over State Qualifier Abel Perez and a 6-2 decision over Texas State Qualifier Caden Mills.

Chris Kirby placed fourth at 160, falling 17-8 to State Qualifier Kyle Knowles in the semifinals and 18-6 to State Qualifier Chandler Holman in the consolation finals. He defeated Brett Black 6-4, Nate Jacobson 12-6, and pinned Black in 1:14.

Dayvon Taylor placed third at 170, falling in 2:17 to State Qualifier Taylor Fleming in the semifinals. He pinned Colten Krebs in 1:19 and Gable Norman in 2:18 and won decisions of 9-3 against Garrett Hughes, 4-2 against Kansas State Qualifier Britton MacLaughlin, and 7-5 against Brayden Dillow.

The Sandites voided the 113, 120, and 195 weight classes and were without two-time State Champion Riley Weir.

The host team, ranked first in Class 3A, won the team trophy handily with four champions and five finalists, while 6A No. 2 Choctaw barely edged out the defending Kansas State Champions by half a point for second place with three champions.

Sand Springs will return to action Thursday at 6:00 p.m. with their first home dual of the season against No. 6 Ponca City (2-0).

CPHS Basketball: Sandites place third at BK Invitational, beat Jenks 75-62 in OT

The defending three-time Bishop Kelley Invitational Champions had to settle for third place Saturday afternoon in Tulsa after a loss to undefeated Shawnee in the semifinals. The No. 4 ranked Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (4-2) bounced back from the defeat with a 75-62 overtime victory against the No. 20 Jenks Trojans (2-3).

The Sandites never trailed in the first period, but they couldn’t get away from the Trojans either, leading only 20-19 at the buzzer with their biggest first-quarter allowance of the season thus far. They were heavily out-rebounded and only came away with one steal, despite averaging 4.3 per quarter going into the game.

Holly Kersgieter scored the opening bucket and Isabella Regalado hit two from the charity stripe for a 4-0 start and took their biggest lead of the half with a three-pointer from Madison Burris to make it 7-2.

Sand Springs improved radically on rebounds in the second period and went 12-of-15 at charity stripe in the first half, but shot only 32% in the field and once again only secured one steal in the second period.

Jenks took their first lead of the game at 25-24, but it was short-lived after Regalado hit two free throws and a layup. By the end of the half the Sandites held a narrow 31-29 advantage that the Trojans tied with the opening basket of the third period.

The Sandites finally began to pull away in the third quarter, leading by five points on four occasions and as much as seven before the Trojans scored a free throw on a technical foul by Head Coach Tobey Nightingale, and followed it up with a three-pointer. Reagan Padilla ended the period with two free throws of her own, and the Sandites started the final stanza hot for a 51-41 advantage.

Their first double-digit lead soon evaporated as back-to-back deep balls kept the Trojans in contention and Sandite fouls tied the game up at 51-51 and 53-53 before Jenks pulled ahead once again at 57-53.

Jenks took a big hit when their starting center fouled out with 1:19 to play, and Kersgieter scored on a free throw and a steal by Johnson to make it a one-point game. She reclaimed the lead soon after with an assist from Burris, then Regalado was fouled on a rebound and made it 59-57.

Johnson fouled while rebounding Regalado’s second free throw, and Jenks tied it up shortly before time expired, sending the Sandites to their first overtime since the 2015-2016 season. The overtime period went as perfectly as possible for the Sandites, who won it 16-3 and ended the game on a ten-point streak.

The Sandites struggled to guard the forward positions, allowing 31 shots and nine goals from outside the arc. They also had a tough time scoring on the deep ball, going 1-of-11. They excelled at free throws, however, going 30-of-38, and are shooting 73% this season. They also returned to their normal selves defensively in the second half, with eight steals.

Kersgieter, a University of Kansas-commit, scored a career-high 38 points to lead her team for the fifth time this season, and was named to the All-Tournament Team for the fourth-straight year. Johnson was the only other Lady Sandite in double digits with thirteen points, though seven players made their way into the scorebook. Jacie Taber collected a team-high twelve rebounds for the second-straight game, and Burris snagged a team-best five steals.

Norman North and Shawnee headed home early to avoid winter weather, preventing the title game from being played, and both return to their regular schedules undefeated.

Sand Springs will return to action Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with a Frontier Valley Conference home game against No. 5 Bartlesville (3-1). The Trojans will travel to No. 16 Bixby (4-0) Tuesday.

CPHS Basketball: Undefeated Shawnee knocks off Sand Springs 57-43

Jacie Taber had a career morning against Shawnee, with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Head Coach Tobey Nightingale played with her winning formula Friday morning and it didn’t pay off, but a return to the Sandites’ bread and butter didn’t offer much improvement.

The No. 4 ranked Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (3-2) fell 57-43 to No. 11 Shawnee (4-0) in the Bishop Kelley Invitational semifinals. Sand Springs was the defending three-time tournament champions coming into the match.

Destiny Johnson and Isabella Regalado sat out the opening two minutes while Reagan Padilla and Darrian Jordan got the start, and the team went scoreless before sending in the usuals. The Sandites average a 25-9 first quarter lead this season, but instead found themselves down 16-13 at the buzzer. Notably absent in the first half were turnovers, as the Sandites average five steals per quarter this season but only came up with two in the first half. Instead it was the Wolves with seven and a 29-25 halftime advantage.

The first quarter saw nine lead changes, but the Wolves never trailed in the latter three periods. Regalado came off the bench to give her team a 3-2 lead and Holly Kersgieter put her team out front three times. Regalado recorded the teams’s first steal with less than two minutes in the half and Johnson scored on a steal soon after, but the girls never managed to find their usual rhythm.

Jacie Taber bookended the second period and kicked off the third en route to a double-double. The Missouri State softball commit finished the game with a career-high twelve points and twelve rebounds. Kersgieter led the Sandites for the fourth time this season with nineteen points.

The Wolves only won the second and third periods by a point apiece, and led only 43-38 to start the final stretch before putting it away. Taber and Johnson made a three-free throw run to cut it to 45-41, but their foes rattled off nine straight points in a 12-2 run to remain undefeated.

The Sandites struggled with accuracy and ball security, giving up twice as many turnovers as they gained. They had season-low shooting percentages from two and three point range, and at the free throw line.

The girls will play for third place Saturday at 4:00 p.m. against No. 20 Jenks (2-2). Jenks defeated 5A No. 18 Bishop Kelley (0-5) 52-40 in the first round of the tournament but fell 60-42 to No. 8 Norman North (5-0). Norman North and Shawnee will play for first place Saturday at 7:00 p.m.

CPHS Wrestling: Sandites hammer No. 10 Owasso 53-21 in season opener

Not even two full years removed from a Dual State title, the Charles Page High School wrestling team started their season ranked only eighth in Class 6A. Thursday night they put the pollsters on notice that they should probably be a little higher.

The Sandites rolled to a dominant 53-21 win over No. 10 Owasso (0-2) with six pins, one technical fall, and two decisions. The host team won only four matches in the lopsided dual, though three of those came by fall.

The Rams started in the hole after forfeiting 106 to Christian Forbes (1-0) but made up for it with a come from behind victory by Jared Campbell over Brendon Wiseley (0-1, 14-9). Wiseley took a 6-4 lead into the second period, but Campbell flipped him for a pin at 3:28.

Two-time State Champion Riley Weir (1-0, 92-27) easily handled EJ Tecson, taking a 10-1 first period lead, reversing in the second and securing the 18-1 technical fall at 3:54.

Seth Jones (1-0, 23-14) scored a takedown and back points late in the first period against Killian McNichol, started the second period on top, and cradled the ram in 3:09. Freshman Blake Jones (1-0) scored an immediate takedown against Jayden Miller before pinning his foe with six seconds left in the first period.

State Finalist Zeke Washington got the Rams back on track at 138, taking a 19-8 lead against Caleb Phillips (0-1, 2-8) before pinning the Sandite in 2:56. Preston Medlin (0-1) and DJ Anderson stalemated throughout the first two periods, but Anderson took the lead with an escape early in the third, then added a takedown soon after that and rode to a 3-0 decision.

Scott Patton (1-0, 36-22) scored a quick takedown against Mark Turner, gave up a second period escape, then scored again moments later. He reversed to start the final period, cut his opponent loose to look for a major, and instead it was Turner with the takedown. Never panicked, Patton reversed for back points and a 10-4 decision.

Chris Kirby (1-0, 23-10) gave up a takedown to Nate Jacobson early in the 160 match, but the Westside Strangler reversed with his signature headlock for a pin at 1:21. Dayvon Taylor (0-1, 23-21) took a 4-0 lead with back points against two-time State Qualifier Taylor Fleming but this time it was the Ram with the come-from-behind pin at 2:30.

Riley Magee (1-0, 6-5) won a 5-0 first period lead against Stephen Aycock before sticking him in 2:36.

Freshman Brooks Dudley (1-0) worked up an 8-0 lead with two sets of back points against Scott Ghavami before giving up a takedown early in the second period. He reversed quickly, but Ghavami scored once again in the second and twice in the third to cut his deficit to 11-10. The Ram scored with two seconds remaining, but Dudley held on for the one-point win.

Kaden Glass (1-0), also a freshman, made quick work of Devin Harris, winning his match by fall in 1:16.

Josh Fincannon (1-0, 15-17) wrestled up to heavyweight against Hilton Moseby and the two went scoreless through the first period. Fincannon scored an escape in the second period, then pinned Moseby in 4:36 to wrap up the night.

The Sandites, ranked fifth in tournaments, will return to action Friday at the 43rd Annual Perry Tournament of Champions. They won the tournament in 2016 and placed eighth last season with one champion in Carter Young. Young has since transferred to No. 12 Stillwater and could end up taking on one of his old teammates this weekend.

Other 6A teams traveling to Perry include No. 2 Choctaw, No. 7 Ponca City, No. 8 Edmond Memorial, and No. 10 Owasso. The host school is ranked first in class 3A and the defending 4A Kansas State Champions from Arkansas City will also be in attendance.

CPHS Basketball: Sandites hand Memorial first loss, 75-34 at Bishop Kelley Invitational

Sixteen Lady Sandites saw court time in a 41-point win at the Bishop Kelley Invitational Thursday morning. The No. 4 ranked Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (3-1) rolled over 5A No. 19 Tulsa Memorial 75-34 in the first round of the tournament, dealing the Chargers (2-1) their first loss of the season.

In what has become a normal occurrence during the past few seasons, the Sandites jumped out to a practically insurmountable first-period lead and were able to run the bench throughout the game. With a 55-13 lead to start the second half, the starters rode the bench through the entire third quarter and only saw two minutes of action in the fourth.

University of Tulsa-commit Destiny Johnson scored nine points in a 15-0 start before Memorial made their way onto the board and University of Kansas-commit Holly Kersgieter scored six in the stanza. Kersgieter was the leading scorer with nineteen points, sixteen of which came in the first half. Johnson was next up with eleven, all in the first half.

Ashlee Bunch was the star of the second half, scoring a career-high seven points and Mikah Hampton had five. The full roster got to play for the first time with Raylynn Mong making her season debut late in the fourth, and a season-best fourteen players made their way into the scorebook.

The Sandites had their highest-scoring second quarter of the season, and allowed only six points to tie their best defensive period of the season. They also allowed only seven points in both the first and fourth quarters. The game was their second-biggest win of the year and best defensive allowance. They improved on free-throw percentage for the fourth consecutive game, going nine-of-eleven at the charity stripe and committed a season-low seven personal fouls.

Second-year Memorial coach Audra Estrada, who lives in Sand Springs, led the Chargers to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2015 with wins over Daniel Webster and the Green Country Defenders.

The Lady Sandites are the defending Bishop Kelley Invitational Champions and have won the tournament three years straight. The win over Memorial was their second-highest margin of victory in the tournament behind a 45-point win over Cascia Hall in the 2016 quarterfinals. They haven’t won a Kelley Invitational game by less than twenty points since since the 2015 finals.

Sand Springs plays the winner of No. 11 Shawnee (2-0) vs. 5A No. 16 Claremore (1-1) Friday at 4:00 p.m. Memorial will take on the losers of that game Friday at 10:00 a.m. The finals will be played Saturday at 7:00 p.m.
