CPHS Basketball: Girls drop 32-30 thriller at No. 6 Union

The Class 6A No. 11 ranked Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (12-6, 5-5) took on their third top-ten opponent in a row Friday night at the Union Multipurpose Athletic Center, and fell 32-30 to No. 6 Union (16-3, 9-1), despite winning the second half 15-8.

Kaylen Nelson scored the opening bucket for the Redskins, Journey Armstead retaliated, then the home team scored eight in a row before Sophia Regalado broke up the run. Hailey Jackson hit two from the charity stripe and Armstead added a second bucket, but Nelson bookended the quarter with a three for the 15-8 lead.

Neither team made any headway in the second quarter till Nelson ended the half with a traditional three to make it 24-15 for the Redskins’ biggest lead of the game.

The Sandites came storming back in the third. Makenzie Malham scored the opening bucket, but Sand Springs went on a 10-2 run to close the quarter 28-25. Madison Burris came up with a clutch three to cut the deficit to 32-30 late in the fourth, but those would be the final points of the game.

Union played a game of keep-away in the final two minutes and the Sandites had to foul three times just to reach the bonus. Finally, Burris sent Jayla Burgess to the line for a 1-and-1 with 14.5 seconds remaining. Burgess missed the shot, Armstead rebounded, and the Sandites took a timeout with 8.4 to play. Union defense prevailed and Takayla Pitts tied up Jackson to drain the clock.

Nelson led all scorers with 18 points and was the only player on either team in double digits. Armstead was held to a season-low nine-point effort to lead the Sandites, followed by Jackson with eight.

Sand Springs will return to action Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with a conference home game against Owasso (4-14, 2-7), who they beat 62-45 in December. Union will get a rematch with No. 7 Sapulpa (15-3, 8-1) Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. The Chieftains gave Union their only conference loss of the season 58-45 in December.

CPHS Wrestling: Sandites fall 55-12 to No. 2 Broken Arrow, Seth Jones beats State Finalist

Pictured: Seth Jones in a dual against Jenks. Jones has won 10-straight matches this season, and beat State Runner-Up Jackson Cockrell Tuesday.

The Class 6A No. 7 ranked Charles Page High School wrestling team (10-7) has wrestled a brutally tough schedule this season and on Tuesday they took on nationally ranked No. 24 Broken Arrow (13-2) in their third nationally ranked dual of the season so far. The defending State Champions won 11 weight classes in the 55-12 victory.

The dual started at 106 pounds where Christian Forbes pinned Shane Wolf (13-13) in a battle of former teammates. Forbes started the year at Sand Springs but moved to Broken Arrow shortly before the season started.

Parker Witcraft won a 13-1 major decision against Mitchell Smith (14-5), and State Placer Bryce Cockrell won an 11-3 major decision against Caden Vaughn (9-5) for a 14-0 lead before the Sandites got on the board.

Seth Jones (21-4, 65-33) won a huge 8-2 decision against State Finalist Jackson Cockrell for his tenth-straight victory, but the Tigers went back to winning with a 15-0 technical fall from State Qualifier Blazik Perez against Carter Goodman (8-11). State Finalist Jared Hill pinned Blake Jones (21-9, 47-23), Braden Anderson won an 8-3 decision against Preston Medlin (18-13, 31-35), and William Martin pinned Ethan White (3-9) to make it 34-3.

Chris Kirby (27-8, 85-32) kept the Sandites alive with his eleventh-straight win, a 4-2 decision against State Qualifier Tye Rozell, but State Finalist Bryce Mattioda clinched the dual with a pin of Dakota Taylor (3-17, 3-24). Ramses Soto won an 8-5 decision against Sango Whitehorn (8-21, 10-25) and Zeno Marcheselli pinned Brooks Dudley (21-6, 31-24) to complete the rout.

The teams traded forfeits in the final two weights with State Champion Emmanuel Skillings getting the win at 220 and Josh Fincannon (29-10, 68-44) collecting points at 285.

Broken Arrow will travel to Bixby (1-6) Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in their final dual of the regular season, then will compete at the Glenpool tournament this weekend. Sand Springs will take ten days off to get healthy and get prepared for the Dual State Tournament in Enid on the 14th. Both Sand Springs and Broken Arrow have qualified for Dual State.

CPHS Basketball: Shorthanded Sandites beat Sapulpa 57-48, Minney scores 18

Ethan Oakley made his first career start Tuesday and recorded 6 points with 7 rebounds.

The Class 6A No. 9 ranked Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team (14-3, 6-3) came into Tuesday night’s conference road game minus two starters, but that didn’t stop them from rolling to a 57-48 win against Highway 97 rival Sapulpa (8-10, 3-6), snapping a four-game win streak for the Chieftains.

Jaeden Hurd had ACL surgery last week and is out for the season. Daren Hawkins went down on Friday and is expected to have season-ending surgery sometime this week. The two juniors split starting duty and average a combined 14 points and 8 rebounds. 6’3” sophomore Ethan Oakley stepped up Tuesday and contributed well with 6 points and 7 rebounds in his first career start.

The triple-headed scoring threat of Davon Richardson, Marlo Fox, and Josh Minney all posted double digits, led by Minney with 18 for his third team-high of the year. Richardson had his fifth double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Fox added 12 points and 6 boards.

Te’Zohn Taft scored the first bucket of the game from three-point range, then Fox hit back-to-back twos for the lead. Zac Altom and Hunter Hoggatt added two more goals and the Chieftains led for the remainder of the quarter.

Sand Springs came storming back with eight-straight points to start the second, but Taft tied it back up at 18-18. Sapulpa finished the half strong with a traditional three from Brandon Niyah for a 23-22 locker room advantage.

The third quarter was a back-and-forth affair with neither team leading by more than a goal, and Oakley took the final lead of the game with a free throw at 38-37. Oakley added another bucket to start the fourth quarter, kicking off a 10-2 run that Sapulpa never recovered from.

The Chieftains had two players in double-digits; Taft with 14 points and Niyah with 10.

Sand Springs will return to action with a huge conference road game against No. 7 Union (12-5, 5-3) Friday at 8:00 p.m. They previously beat the Redskins 75-74 at home in December. The Chieftains will travel to Bixby (6-9, 2-6) Friday at 7:00 p.m. They edged out the Spartans 75-73 at home in December.

CPHS Basketball: Girls fall 63-46 to Sapulpa, Armstead scores 18

The Class 6A No. 11 ranked Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (12-5, 5-4) suffered a Frontier Valley Conference loss Tuesday Night at the Chieftain, falling 63-46 to Highway 97 rival No. 7 Sapulpa (15-3, 8-1).

The Chieftain starting five had 11 inches on the Sandites, and out-rebounded them 34 to 22. They also out-shot their visitors and won the turnover battle.

The Sandites got help from a foul-happy first half, scoring nine points on twelve fouls, but still trailed 34-22 going into the locker room after a 12-point performance from Temira Poindexter and 11 from Ray Osborn.

Osborn picked up her third and fourth fouls less than a minute into the second half and missed most of the third quarter. Her absence contributed to the Sandites’ best stanza, a 13-13 tie. Journey Armstead put up nine points in the quarter and got her team back within single digits at 44-35, but Stailee Heard made a buzzer-beating three for the Chieftains.

Sapulpa got hot again in the fourth and took their biggest lead at 63-44 before Raegan Padilla made her way into the score book with the final points of the game.

Poindexter led all scorers with 21 points, but the Chieftains had three in double digits. Osborn scored 15 despite missing most of the second half, and Alexis Lewis added 13. Armstead paced the Sandites with 18, followed by Hailey Jackson with 10.

Sand Springs will return to action with a huge conference road game against No. 6 Union (14-3, 7-1) Friday at 6:30 p.m. They lost their previous meeting with the Redskins 39-25 at home. The Chieftains will travel to No. 10 Bixby (11-6, 5-3) Friday at 6:30 p.m. They edged out the Spartans 52-49 in overtime in December.
