CPHS Basketball Season Rewind: 2018-2019 continues recent tradition of Sandite excellence

View fullsize

The 2018-2019 Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team continued a recent tradition of team excellence before their season came to an end Saturday.

They fell one round short of the State Tournament, but even making the Area finals is something unheard of for Sandites just a few years ago. The team finished with a 17-9 record overall, and were 9-5 in the Frontier Valley Conference.

The Sandites hosted their first Regional Tournament since 2001 and won their first Regional title since 1956. Last season they made it to the State Tournament for the first time since 1963. It was the fifth-straight ten-win season for Sand Springs, the second-best record in the Eric Savage era, and they finished the year ranked fifth in Class 6A. Just six seasons ago the Sandites went 1-21 before Savage took the reigns.

This year’s team included five total seniors: Cale Savage, Cole Durkee, Kason Hughes, Jonathan Quier, and Sam Anderson. Savage and Durkee were the only senior starters. The Class of 2019 went 62-41 in their careers and 30-26 in conference, finishing fourth in the Frontier Valley two straight years.

The team averaged 61.96 points per game, the best offense of the Savage era, and had the best Home Court record at 7-2.

Junior Davon Richardson led the team in numerous statistical categories with 15.7 points, 2.4 offensive rebounds, 6.1 defensive rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game. He led the team in scoring on fifteen occasions with six double-doubles and a season-best performance of 26 points against Northwest Classen. He also had the team’s best field-goal percentage at 48.9%.

Cale Savage was the most accurate player on the team from all three ranges. He shot 39.8% on threes, 63.0% on twos, and 78.5% at the free throw line. He was second on the team in total scoring with 12 points per game and had the best single-game performance, scoring 35 against the Hoops For Christ Warriors.

The Sandites will return three regular starters and four players with starting experience, as well as 63% of their scoring power next season. This season brought Coach Savage’s career record to 387-164 (.702) overall, and 82-71 (.536) at Sand Springs.

CPHS Basketball: Sandites fall 73-51 to Sapulpa at Area, presented by Kelly Smith - Farmers Insurance

Friday night’s Area Championship game had double the usual stakes as the winning team not only punched their ticket to the State Tournament, but got to do so against their biggest rivals.

Class 6A No. 4 ranked Sapulpa (21-4) prevailed 73-51 to improve to 2-1 against No. 5 Sand Springs (17-8) this season. The Sandites won their first meeting, but the Chieftains spoiled the Sandites’ regular season finale, and sabotaged their bid for an Area title.

Coverage of the game is sponsored by Kelly Smith Farmers Insurance Agency in Sand Springs. Located at 3973 South Highway 97 in the Springs Village shopping center, Smith brings the same passion to your family’s insurance needs that he brought to the State and Dual State Championship winning Sandite Wrestling program.

Sapulpa will advance to the State Tournament next Thursday, while the Sandites will get one more chance Saturday at 8:00 p.m. at Skiatook High School. They will play the winner of No. 9 Union (15-9) vs. No. 16 Putnam City North (12-13).

Sapulpa led for the majority of the first period, but always with the Sandites nipping at their heels. Cale Savage gave Sand Springs their first lead, 11-10, at the 3:30 mark with a three-pointer, and did it again just a minute later. Marlo Fox tied it at 15-15 with 1:36 to play, but the Chieftains ended the period 20-15 with a three from Jayde Duncan. 

The Chieftains maintained their three-point advantage through most of the second period, but kept their foes in contention with numerous fouls. Josh Minney briefly tied it at 24-24 with a three-point play, but Hunter Hoggatt immediately put his team back out front with a long three and Camryn Dennis added to it with a three-point play of his own. Richardson put back a pair of shots from Cole Durkee and Cason Savage laid up to cut it back to 33-30, but Hoggatt and Vernon Durant rattled off three from the stripe and Dennis dunked to take a 38-30 advantage into the locker room. 

Sand Springs never led in the second half.

Te’Zohn Taft gave his team their first double-digit advantage on the opening play of the half. Richardson hit a pair of twos and Minney scored twice from the stripe, but Jacoby Durant sank a three and Hoggatt hit a pair of free throws to make it 48-36. Jacoby Durant added two more before Durkee broke up the run with a pair of ones. Minney and Jaeden Hurd scored buckets late in the period and Daren Hawkins ended it with a free throw, but the Sandites were down 56-43. 

Hoggatt hit a two to start the final period and Jacoby Durant followed it with a three. Richardson scored two, but Eli Williams added a goal of his own and Jacoby Durant hit a pair of free throws to make it 65-45. The Chieftains maintained their twenty-point lead for the remainder of the game.

Richardson led the Sandites with fourteen points and fifteen rebounds for his sixth double-double of the season. Cale Savage scored eleven points and Minney added ten.

Jacoby Durant led all scorers with sixteen points, followed by Taft with thirteen, Hoggatt with twelve, and Smith with eleven.

CPHS Baseball: Sandites go 5-1 in scrimmages, kick off season Friday

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team went 5-1 in preseason scrimmages this month, outscoring their opponents 52-22. They won their first five meetings before falling 7-6 to Collinsville in a Tuesday night walkoff.

They beat Booker T. Washington 10-0, Hilldale 5-0, Tulsa NOAH Homeschool 17-7, Bartlesville 7-3, and Jenks 7-5.

The Sandites came close to an undefeated preseason, coming back from a 5-1 deficit to a 6-5 seventh-inning advantage before allowing the Cardinals to walk off with the win, thanks to a pair of errors and a trio of walks.

The team batted .358 as a whole in the preseason, led by Kaegan Murray with a team-best .750. Murray recorded six hits on eight at-bats with five runs and two RBI. Malachi Burks batted .700 with seven hits on ten at-bats, scoring five runs and seven RBI.

Ethan Sartin had a team-high eight hits. Seth Villines and Keaton Campbell scored a team-best six runs apiece, and Cal Watkins led the team with eight RBI.

Eleven different Sandites spent time on the mound. The bullpen combined for a 1.75 earned run average, throwing 34 hits, 56 strikeouts and 24 walks in 40 innings.

Tyler Ash led the team in strikeouts per inning, throwing seven in three, with no hits and only one walk. Ben Banker saw the most action, throwing nine strikeouts, two hits, and four walks in seven innings. Jaxon Skaggs was next up with a team-high ten strikeouts, six hits, and only one walk in six innings.

The regular season will officially kick off Friday at 5:00 p.m. in a non-district home game against Coweta. They will then travel to Piedmont Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

The Sandites will play the same district teams as last year. They will also compete in the Tate Aggie Classic in Pensacola, Florida, the Tiger/Zebra Classic in Coweta and Claremore, and the Broken Arrow-Bixby Turf War.

Last season Sand Springs went 24-12 under first-year Head Coach James Garrison (38-31). They won both the Tiger/Zebra Classic and the Spartan/Tiger Turf War en rout to a fourteen-game mid-season win streak. They lost twelve varsity players to graduation, but are returning thirteen experienced athletes.

Five Sandite seniors have signed collegiate letters of intent already. Kyler Copeland signed with College of the Ozarks, Watkins signed with Seminole State College, Cale Savage signed with Northern Oklahoma College, and Ash and John Miller signed with Eastern Oklahoma State College.
