CPHS Football: Sandites beat Shawnee 21-19 on Homecoming, Snodgrass scores 2 TDs

The Class 6A No. 11 ranked Charles Page High School varsity football team (2-2, 1-0) won their Homecoming game Friday night at Memorial Stadium 21-19 over No. 13 Shawnee (1-3, 0-1) to kick off district action. The Sandites led by 21-12 to start the fourth quarter before the Wolves began to rally for a thrilling fourth-quarter showdown.

Sand Springs outscored their foes 7-6 in the first and second quarters and won the third quarter 7-0 before being shut out in the fourth. Senior standout Jacob Snodgrass produced the Sandites’ first two scores on Wildcat runs, while sophomore quarterback Ty Pennington threw a pass to Daren Hawkins in the third quarter.

Shawnee sophomore Karsen Conaway was 13-31-174-1 with touchdown passes to Cyn’Cere Spencer and Jaylon Orange, and Orange also ran in a score. Extra points were the deal-breaker for the Wolves, as Ian Johnson missed his first PAT kick, and Alex Turner stopped a two-point run attempt by Spencer in the second quarter.

Both teams punted their opening possessions and Sand Springs was first on the scoreboard with an 8-play 51-yard drive, capped by Snodgrass’s five-yard run. The Wolves responded with a 6-play 66-yard drive, scoring on a 45-yard reception by Orange through blown coverage.

Three punts later and the visitors took their first and only lead of the night with a 10-play 88-yard drive and ten-yard scoring run from Orange. The home team quickly got back out front with an 8-play 51-yard drive and one-yard scoring run from Snodgrass for the 14-12 lead to end the half.

Drake Fain and Terik Meschkat combined on a sack to force a turnover on downs in the second half, setting up a 14-play 67-yard drive for the Sandites. Junior Daren Hawkins, who led the Sandites in receiving yards and touchdowns last season, returned to the turf for the first time this season to immediate success after a preseason injury. He was targeted three times on the drive, resulting in two catches for 30 yards, a first down, and a touchdown. Snodgrass nearly had his third score of the night on a three-yard wildcat run, but it was called back for holding, setting up the 13-yard pass to Hawkins.

The Sandite defense continued to come up strong throughout the second half, but the offense stalled out. Lane Webster made a sack on fourth-down to stall the Wolves in the Sandite red zone. Zane Christopher came up with a fumble three plays later to return the Wolves to the red zone, but Brooks Dudley tipped a pass and Ethan Sartin came away with the pick.

Shawnee forced a three-and-out, turned the ball over on downs, forced another three-and-out, then put together the final scoring drive of the game. The 13-play 36-yard push had big plays called back for both sides of the ball.

On the first play of the possession Conaway pitched a lateral to Orange, who connected with Spencer for a 36-yard strike that was called back for a false start. Seven plays later Caden Harris returned an interception 40 yards before it was called back due to pass interference. Sand Springs gave up two first downs on personal fouls to keep the Wolves in the game, and Conaway finally found Spencer from 13 yards out. Johnson’s PAT was the final point of the game.

The Wolves attempted an onside kick, but the Sandites fielded it aptly. They were held to a quick three-and-out, however, and the Wolves threatened once again. They marched 24 yards but ran out of time as a deep pass fell incomplete.

Pennington was 13-27-143-0 on the night, with Snodgrass as his primary target. Snodgrass was 6-48 receiving and Blake Jones led the ground game with 21 carries for 86 yards. Zach Heinen was 3-for-3 on extra points for the Sandites, and is 11-of-11 in his debut season. Keaton Campbell averaged 25 yards per kick return, Jerret Haley led in tackles with 9, Bryson Chase had a team-high 3 pass breakups, and Dudley led in tackles for loss, with 2.

Sand Springs will take to the road next Friday at No. 6 Muskogee (3-0, 1-0), while Shawnee will travel to No. 12 Ponca City (2-2, 0-1).

Prior to the game, the Church That Matters Tailgate Crew raised $1,434 for Sandite Wrestling and Raegan Foster was named Homecoming Queen. At half time Sandite Soccer standout Jack Bratcher kicked a 17-yard field goal to win a free dinner for ten from Rib Crib.

CPHS Volleyball: Defending State Champs spoil undefeated Sandite home streak

The Class 6A No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (16-12) held the longest home winning streak in the division coming into their Thursday night match against 5A No. 4 Bishop Kelley (15-10). They amassed a 10-0 record over six weeks at the Ed Dubie Field House before falling 3-0 to the defending 5A State Champions. The only other 6A teams yet to lose on their home court are No. 4 Norman North (19-8 overall, 8-0 home) and No. 3 Edmond Memorial (20-5, 5-0).

Bishop Kelley took an early 4-0 lead against a passive home team, but the Sandites soon woke up and made things competitive as their visitors struggled with accuracy. Comet misfires coupled with kills from Vanessa Wyrick and Devree Youngblood tied it at 6-6 and 8-8 before the home team jumped out to an 11-9 lead with kills from Youngblood and McKenzie Harris. Caitlin Ozment and Eleanor Percy combined on a block to tie it at 11-11, and the Comets quickly ran away with it. The home team only scored three more points on their own merit and Kelley ended on a 9-1 run for the win.

Sand Springs took a 4-2 lead in game two, entirely on Comet errors, before giving up a five-point run. They trailed the Comets for the entire set but kept the visitors on their toes, cutting it as close as 23-21 before giving up the loss.

The Comets streaked past the Sandites in game three in the only blowout set of the night. Sand Springs led twice early on before the visitors went on an insurmountable twelve-point run to make it 16-6. Sand Springs had a five-point run late in the set with a pair of kills from Payton Robbins, but the match was too far gone by that point.

Youngblood, an Oklahoma Baptist University-commit, led the Sandites with 11 kills and had 7 digs. Madison Blaylock and Raylynn Mong had a team-high 8 digs, and Mong led in assists with 9. Ozment led the Comets with 13 kills, closely followed by Reese Simpler with 10.

Sand Springs will return to conference action Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with a home match against No. 9 Owasso (14-12). The Comets will also host Owasso, Monday at 6:00 p.m.

The Class 6A No. 11 ranked Charles Page High School varsity football team (1-2) will kick off district action Friday at 7:00 p.m. when they host No. 13 Shawnee (1-2). The Sandite Homecoming Court will be introduced at 6:30 p.m. prior to the game.

The Programs

Sand Springs is coming off a 3-7 season but prior to that was riding a program-best six straight years of playoff appearances. They are 64-69 (.481) under thirteenth-year Head Coach Dustin Kinard. The Sandites own one gold ball, from 1966, and made their last State Finals appearance in 2015.

Shawnee went 2-8 last year in their first season at the 6A-II level. They went 6-4 in 5A in 2017 and last made the playoffs in 2016. Sixteenth-year Head Coach Bill Brown is 93-74 (.556) at Shawnee. They own two gold balls from 1973 and 2003.

The two teams have only met seven times and Sand Springs leads the series 5-2. They met annually from 1992-1997 during the first six years of Class 6A. The Wolves won the first meeting, but Sand Springs ran the series until their reunion last year.

10/30/1992: Shawnee 21-14 (A)
10/29/1993: Sand Springs 14-0 (H)
11/4/1994: Sand Springs 18-6 (A)
11/3/1995: Sand Springs 20-7 (H)
9/27/1996: Sand Springs 36-0 (A)
9/26/1997: Sand Springs 35-0 (H)
9/21/2018: Shawnee 23-20 (A, OT)

Last year the Sandites were upset 23-20 in a rainy chilly overtime battle. Senior quarterback Caden Pennington was held to a 5-11-79-1 passing performance due to the rain, but was 18-78 with two touchdowns on the ground. Joel Mackey bore the brunt of the offense with 30 carries for 251 yards and a score.

The weather contributed to a sloppy game that saw three fumbles with one lost, two failed PATs, a red zone turnover on downs, and a red zone interception. On fourth-and-goal from the six, in overtime, Pennington had a wide open running lane but slipped in the wet grass. The Sandite defense forced an easy three-and-out but Shawnee kicked a field goal to win the game.

This Season

Both teams are 1-2 after non-district action. Sand Springs fell 41-7 to Mansfield Summit (4-0), won 35-0 against Putnam City (0-3), then fell 50-20 to Greenwood (3-0). The Sandites own the No. 11 offense, No. 11 defense, and No. 11 margin of victory in Class 6A-II.

Shawnee fell 49-21 to Choctaw (2-1), defeated Guthrie (1-2) 33-23, then fell 40-13 to Carl Albert (3-0). The Wolves own the No. 9 offense, No. 14 defense, and No. 13 margin of victory in the division.
