CPHS Football: Sandites shutout Putnam City 35-0, Pennington scores 4 touchdowns

Sophomore quarterback Ty Pennington hasn’t been named QB1 for the season yet, but he got his first varsity start Friday night against Class 6A-II No. 16 ranked Putnam City (0-2) and made a statement with a 13-21-184-0 passing performance for four touchdowns.

The Charles Page High School football team (1-1) notched its first shutout in four years, 35-0, holding the Pirates to only 80 offensive yards in their home debut at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Pennington threw touchdown passes of 17 and 25 yards to Jacob Snodgrass, 15 yards to Trey Wilkerson, and 22 yards to Jamond Cisce. Senior quarterback Braden Foster took over midway through the third period and finished 6-8-75-0 with a 41 yard score to Snodgrass. Snodgrass was the leading receiver four catches for 93 yards.

Neither team scored on their opening drives. Sand Springs marched to the Putnam 42 before Dakari Mason and James Edward combined on a sack for a turnover on downs. The Pirates then marched 37 yards for their only redzone penetration of the night before fumbling the ball away. Sand Springs drove 92 yards in 8 plays on their next drive, capped by Pennington’s 17-yard pass to Snodgrass.

Lane Webster forced a turnover on downs with a second quarter sack, setting up a 7-play 58-yard drive and 25-yard one-handed reception by Snodgrass for the 14-0 lead. The teams traded punts from there, then Brooks Dudley recovered a fumble to set up another scoring drive. This time Sand Springs needed 10 plays to march 55 yards, scoring on a 15-yard screen pass to Wilkerson. Zach Heinen’s kick made it 21-0 at the half.

Both teams turned the ball over to start the second half. Jerret Haley picked off a pass from Tyrece Romesberg and returned it 21 yards. A Wilkerson run and unsportsmanlike penalty on the Pirates queued up a 22-yard touchdown pass to Jamond Cisco with 4:07 left in the third.

Foster took over at quarterback with 3:17 left and guided the Sandites 56 yards in 7 plays, hitting Snodgrass for a 41-yard score and the final points of the game.

Both teams will have a far tougher opponent next week. Sand Springs will host Greenwood (2-0), the back-to-back defending Arkansas 6A State Champions. They are currently riding a fourteen-game win streak and have only lost three games in five seasons.

Putnam City will host Bixby (2-0), the defending 6A-II State Champions. Bixby is riding a fourteen-game win streak while the Pirates have lost their past thirteen games.

CPHS Football Preview: Sandites host Putnam City Friday

The Class 6A No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School varsity football team (0-1) will play its first home game of the season Friday, September 13, at 7:00 p.m. against No. 16 Putnam City (0-1). Tickets are $5.00 for students and senior citizens, and $7.00 for adults.

Prior to the game, the Church That Matters Tailgate Crew will be serving up hot dogs, burgers, and chicken sandwiches with chips and a drink for only $6.00. The event will benefit the Sandite Quarterback Club this week to help cover team meals, transportation, and other football expenses throughout the season.

Last Season

The Sandites are coming off a 3-7 season that snapped a program-best six-year streak of playoff appearances. Putnam City went 0-10 last year with the worst offense and worst defense in the division.

The two teams have met only once, last season, when Sand Springs prevailed 45-24. Caden Pennington was 9-15-169-0 passing with three touchdowns. Daren Hawkins was 3-43 receiving with two touchdowns. Joel Mackey was 13-150 rushing for one touchdown and Trey Wilkerson was 12-109 for two touchdowns. Pennington and Mackey are gone now, but Hawkins and Wilkerson will help lead the new offense.

This Year

Sand Springs currently has dueling quarterbacks in senior Braden Foster and sophomore Ty Pennington. Foster got the start against Mansfield Summit (2-0) and was 7-15-46-2 in the first half. Pennington started the second half and was 6-14-45-0 with the team’s lone touchdown. Pennington will get the start against Putnam City, but quarterback competition will continue till districts begin.

Sand Springs also has a new kicker in junior Zach Heinen. Heinen connected on his only PAT attempt against Mansfield and averaged 33 yards per punt and 45 yards per kick.

Keaton Campbell was the leading receiver with 6 catches for 38 yards and a score. Tyyee Atkison led the ground game with 10 carries for 63 yards, including a 50-yard run to set up Pennington’s TD pass. Jacob Snodgrass had a 17-yard kick return, Bryson Chase made an interception, and Jerret Haley led in tackles (10) and pass breakups (2).

Sand Springs fell 41-7 to Mansfield in Week Zero and took a bye last week, while Putnam is fresh off their 50-0 loss to Putnam City North (1-0). Putnam was shutout five times last year and averaged only 5.2 points per game last year, with their best offensive performance coming against the Sandites.

The Sandites are rebuilding on defense, but have a fiercely energetic captain in Jerret Haley. Sophomore Brooks Dudley and freshman Drake Fain also made a big impact in the season opener with six tackles apiece.

Nicolas Hancock, Ryan Johnson, Josh Fincannon anchor a talented offensive line coached by Mike Edwards and Superbowl Champion Michael Bowie.

CPHS Volleyball: Sandites beat Berryhill 3-1, Burris, Mong, and Youngblood post double-doubles

The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (12-8) took a five minute trip down 41st Street Thursday evening to battle the Berryhill Maidens (13-8) and walked away with a 3-1 non-conference win. The Sandites won sets of 25-19, 25-15, and 25-17, and gave up a 29-27 thriller in game two.

Oklahoma Baptist University-commit Devree Youngblood led the Sandites with twelve kills and twelve digs, while Anna Nelson had a match-best thirteen kills for the Maidens. Raylynn Mong led the Sandites in assists with sixteen, and Cloe Campfield led in digs with thirteen. Madison Burris was one kill away from a triple double with nine kills, fourteen assists, and ten digs.

Berryhill jumped out to a huge 9-2 lead in game one, but the visitors slowly worked their way back into contention and Mackenzie Harris tied it at 13-13 before Vanessa Wyrick served back-to-back aces for the lead. Sand Springs went on a six-point run from there, with two aces from Mong, and coasted to a 25-19 victory.

Game two saw seven lead changes and twelve tie scores, with the home team holding the edge for most of the set. Burris aced to tie it at 16-16, Berryhill won five straight then Sand Springs won four straight to keep it close. Youngblood killed to tie it at 23-23 and 25-25, Burris tied it at 26-26, and Campfield tied it at 27-27 before a pair of errors gave the home team the win.

The third set was a blowout following a ten-point run from Sand Springs for a 12-3 lead that the Maidens never recovered from. A Youngblood kill iced the win. The visitors never trailed in the final game and won eight of the final eleven rallies, capped by a kill from Sophie Singleton.

Berryhill will host Verdigris (17-9) Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. Sand Springs will host Booker T. Washington (7-9, 1-4) Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in conference action. They previously beat the Hornets 2-0 and 2-1 at the Sandite Invitational. The Sandites are 10-0 undefeated on their home court this season.
