Sand Springs placed top-three in the tournament for four straight years, but battled adversity this season. They lost State Champion Carter Young and State Runner-Up Kaleb Tabor to transfers, and State Champion Riley Weir and State Qualifier Dayvon Taylor were unable to finish the season due to injuries.

Nationally-ranked No. 17 Broken Arrow won their tenth State title by a wide margin with three State Champions and seven Finalists.

Of the eight returning 6A State Champions only four defended their titles. Reece Witcraft and Drake Vannoy won their second titles. Broken Arrow senior Zach Marcheselli and Choctaw senior Zane Coleman each finished their high school careers as four-timers.

The historic Perry program added to their team title national record, winning their 43rd State tournament in the 3A division. They crowned three Champions, bringing the school total to 113 individuals with 173 medals.

Nationally-ranked No. 9 Tuttle crushed the 4A competition for their sixteenth title with six champions.

Highway 20 rivals Collinsville and Skiatook split the 5A title with 137 points each. Collinsville crowned four champions and Skiatook had three. Two teams haven’t shared a title since 1932 when there was only one classification and Tulsa Central and Cushing tied.

CPHS Basketball: Boys win Regional Championship, Richardson scores 18

The Class 6A No. 5 ranked Charles Page High School boys basketball team (17-7) defeated No. 11 Southmoore (17-8) 60-51 in a physical back and forth affair Saturday night at the Ed Dubie Field House. Davon Richardson led the way for the Sandites finishing with a double-double, scoring eighteen points and grabbing fourteen rebounds, including nine offensive boards.

The first quarter was a stalemate with both teams trading baskets throughout. Junior Sabercat guard Jordan Thompson kicked off the scoring by hitting a three on the game’s first possession, part of his seven point first quarter en route to a team high thirteen points. Sandites Josh Minney, Cole Durkee, and Cale Savage all hit threes of their own leading to a 12-12 tie after one quarter.

The second frame saw Sand Springs build a lead they would never relinquish, holding the visitors scoreless for the first 6:32 of the quarter, with Savage and Richardson each accounting for four points in the period including a buzzer beating triple from Richardson.

Southmoore trimmed the Sandite lead to eight heading into the final quarter, but Richardson took the game over scoring the first nine Sand Springs points of the period. The Sabercats managed to come as close as three points in the last stanza after back to back threes from Domingo Ward, but quality free throw shooting from Cason Savage and the rest of the Sandites kept Southmoore at bay and Richardson capped off the victory with a one-handed put-back dunk in the waning seconds.  

Both Sand Springs and Southmoore will advance to the Area playoffs. Sand Springs will only need to win one game in Area to advance to State, and can afford to lose once, while Southmoore will need to win twice and will be eliminated with a loss.

CPHS Wrestling: Chris Kirby places fourth at State Championship

Charles Page High School junior Chris Kirby took fourth place at 160 pounds at the OSSAA 6A State Wrestling Tournament Saturday evening in Oklahoma City.

The Sandite lost his first match 14-8 to Putnam City senior Rene Martinez (28-3), but won twice in consolation before falling in the placement match. He pinned Jenks junior Killian McGrew in 1:34 and scored an 8-4 decision against Broken Arrow junior Tye Rozell (25-9) to clinch a placement match. In the consolation finals he was teched 23-8 by Owasso junior Nate Jacobson.

Kirby finished the season with a 36-14 record and his second State Tournament medal. He also placed fourth as a sophomore and holds a 58-24 career record. Kirby placed fourth at Perry, third at Regionals, second at Cushing, and first at Sapulpa. He also recorded a team-best thirty falls.

CPHS Wrestling: Scott Patton places second at State Championship

Charles Page High School senior Scott Patton wrestled through an injury for second place in the 152-pound bracket at the OSSAA 6A State Wrestling Tournament Saturday evening in Oklahoma City.

The Sandite lost his second match of the season, then rattled off 31 consecutive victories before falling to the defending State Champion, who he had previously beaten twice this season.

Patton won 13-0 against Southmoore sophomore Joe Stover (37-10) and 6-1 over Broken Arrow senior Diego Maturino (33-14) to make his way to the finals. There he fell 5-1 to defending State Champion Drake Vannoy (35-11), a junior from Jenks.

Patton previously defeated Vannoy 6-2 in a dual, and 4-2 in the Regional Tournament, but was unable to repeat. The Trojan scored takedowns in the first and second periods and the injured Sandite could only manage an escape.

Patton finished the season 31-2 with a 66-24 career record. As a senior he placed third at Perry, first at Cushing, first at Sapulpa, and first at Regionals.

This is Vannoy’s second-straight year beating a Sandite in the finals. He won his first title 5-3 against Kaleb Tabor, who transferred to Berryhill this past summer.

CPHS Wrestling: Seth Jones places fourth at State Tournament

Charles Page High School junior Seth Jones took fourth place at the OSSAA 6A State Wrestling Tournament Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City.

He made his way to the 126-pound consolation finals with a payback pin of Broken Arrow sophomore Blazik Perez (28-11), who had previously defeated him twice this season, but lost the placement match to Deer Creek sophomore Cade Manion (37-7). Manion beat him 5-1 in the quarterfinals and 9-2 in placement.

Jones got a lucky break in the consolation quarterfinals, receiving a medical forfeit from former State Champion Laif Jones (32-5) who had previously bested him twice this season.

Jones finished the season with a 22-15 record, bringing his career total to 44-29. He also qualified for State last season but did not place. He placed fifth this season at Sapulpa, fourth at Perry, and third in the Regional Championship.

Former Sandite Carter Young (42-4), who transferred to Stillwater after winning State as a freshman, settled for second place at 126, falling 5-1 to Mustang freshman John Wiley (29-3).
