CPHS Softball: Sandites sweep Sapulpa, Sabrina Usher hits grand slam

The Class 6A No. 18 ranked Charles Page High School slow pitch softball team (2-0) kicked off the season with a pair of wins Tuesday afternoon at No. 19 Sapulpa (0-4). The Lady Sandites won 19-10 in game one and 20-5 in the second half of the Highway 97 Rivalry double-header.

Sand Springs outhit their foes 28 to 13 in the first game. Elizabeth Luttrell hit two home runs and got the win on the mound, while Sabrina Usher hit a grand slam. The second game was even more dominant as the Sandites outhit the home team 24 to 9 with home runs from Reagan Rector, Luttrell, Felicity Horn, and Rachel Jones. Aliyah Taff got the win on the mound in the second battle.

Horn was a perfect seven-for-seven at the plate over the two games with four singles, a double, a triple, a homer, seven runs, and six RBI. Rector was five-for-five in game one and Avery Tanner was three-for-three in game two.

Luttrell threw an impressive seven strikeouts, giving up thirteen hits and seven walks in game one. Game two only went five innings due to the ten-run mercy rule. Taff pitched four innings and threw eight hits, two strikeouts, and seven walks.

Sapulpa was first on the board with a solo home run from Jessica Hobbs in the bottom of the first, but the visitors piled on thirteen runs in the top of the second. The Sandites recorded thirteen hits in the inning, including back-to-back homers. Usher cleared the bases for a 9-1 lead, then Luttrell followed it up with a solo shot two pitches later. Tanner capped the onslaught with a two-run triple before the melee came to a close.

Hobbs hit a second homer in the bottom of the fourth and Sierra Hughes had a two-run triple. In the fifth Hobbs and Kalyn Hearon hit back-to-back homers to cut it to 15-9. Luttrell hit another dinger in the sixth.

The Sandites took a 5-0 lead in game two and never looked back, scoring runs in all five innings. They led 20-1 before the Chieftains tried to make a comeback in the bottom of the fifth.

Rector homered on the first at-bat of the game, then Jones cleared the fence in the second inning to make it 3-0. Luttrell went yard in the top of the third, followed by a double from Mackenzie Bechtold and a triple from Horn. Horn hit a homer in the fourth, and Sapulpa’s Takyah Jamerson hit one in the fifth.

Sandite Softball will return to action Thursday at 5:00 p.m. when they play a double header at No. 7 Owasso (4-4). Sapulpa will host 5A No. 18 Berryhill Thursday at 4:00 p.m.

Nic Fulmer averted the shutout, receiving a corner kick from TJ Hale for the lone Chieftain goal with ten minute remaining in the match. Gustavo Saldana took a corner kick and Jeffus knocked in a header for the final goal in the 74th minute.

 The Sapulpa girls (5-1, 1-0) bounced back from their first loss of the season with a 7-0 shutout of Sand Springs (5-3, 0-1).

The visitors jumped out to a quick lead, with Kalyn Anderson scoring a header in the 8th minute. Sara Arundell scored a long shot from thirty yards out in the 10th minute, then Abby Graham scored on an assist from Addyson Hoey four minutes later.

Ali Day snagged four remarkable saves late in the first half, but Arundell notched a brace in the 24th minute to take a 4-0 lead into the locker room.

Anderson kicked her second goal of the night just five minutes into the second half, and Abby Graham got on the scoreboard in the 59th minute. Arundell made it a hat trick on a free kick with nine minutes to play. Day recorded four more saves in the second half.

OSU Wrestling: Daton Fix finishes freshman season as NCAA Finalist and All-American

Sand Springs native Daton Fix added another pair of impressive accolades to his ever-growing resume Saturday. The Oklahoma State University redshirt freshman earned All-American status with a second-place finish at the NCAA Wrestling Tournament.

Fix was a four-time undefeated State Champion at Charles Page High School and recently won the Big 12 title at 133 pounds.

In the NCAA finals he fell 4-2 in sudden victory overtime to Nick Suriano, who he has a longstanding rivalry with.

Suriano shares a nearly identical resume with the Cowboy. Four-time undefeated New Jersey Champion, Big Ten Champion, and NCAA finalist. Both have spent time ranked first in the nation throughout high school and college, and now they have a split 2-2 record.

Fix won their first meeting in an ultimate tie-breaker at the 2014 Cadet National finals, but Suriano paid it back later that year. The Jersey wrestler scored a takedown 26 minutes into overtime for a 3-1 win at the FloWrestling Who’s Number One event. The two set the all-time record for longest high school match at 32:12.

Five years later, Fix took the lead in the series in a dual between Oklahoma State and Rutgers in January. He got the win in overtime after Suriano was penalized for hands to the face.

Saturday’s bout went the way of the first three. Each wrestler scored a single escape in regulation and went scoreless in the first sudden victory period. Fix took a 2-1 lead with a stalling point in the second tiebreaker, but Suriano got the escape in the final moments to force another overtime. Finally, Suriano scored a takedown for the win.

The match was not without controversy. Fix fans objected to a stalemate call in overtime that led to Suriano’s escape, and wanted a penalty on Suriano for contact with Fix’s headgear moments before the takedown. On the other side of the fence, Suriano backers criticized Fix’s lack of aggression, believing he should have been called for stalling on multiple occasions.

Fix started the season 21-0 with a 26-straight win streak dating back to his 2018 redshirt season, and ended with a 35-2 overall record. He had the second-best win percentage (.945) at 133 pounds, trailing only third-place finisher Stevan Micic (19-1), and the second-most total wins, trailing only DJ Fehlman (36-8).

In addition to his Big 12 title, Fix also won the Oklahoma City Open, the Reno Tournament of Champions, and the Southern Scuffle. His only loss besides Suriano was to ACC Champion Micky Phillippi (21-4), who was eliminated one round-short of All-American status. He defeated five of the eight 133-pound All-Americans this season, including Suriano, Luke Pletcher, Austin DeSanto, John Erneste, and Ethan Lizak.

Fix was the tenth Oklahoma State freshman to make it to the NCAA finals. He had the best NCAA finish for an OSU freshman since 2003, and he is the 38th All-American freshman in OSU history.

Oklahoma State placed third in team standings with 84 points, trailing Penn State (137.5) and Ohio State (96.5). Iowa finished fourth with 76. The Pokes didn’t crown any champions, but had five All-Americans in Fix (2nd), Derek White (2nd), Preston Weigel (3rd), Nick Piccininni (5th), and Dakota Greer (7th).

The Pokes went 15-0 in dual action and won their seventh-straight Big 12 Title. They will graduate three of their nine NCAA qualifiers, including Weigel and White.

Per usual, the Pokes will bring in a solid recruiting class next season, including
132 No. 4 Reece Witcraft, two-time State Champion from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
132 Colt Newton, three-time State Finalist from Choctaw, Oklahoma.
152 Chance McLane, three-time State Champion from Bozeman, Montana.
160 No. 2 Brevin Balmeceda, three-time State Champion from South Dade, Florida.
160 No. 11 Dan Manibog, three-time State Champion from Katy, Texas.
170 Cade Lindsey, State Champion from Derby, Kansas.
182 Triston Wills, two-time State Champion from Derby, Kansas.
