/

After seeing their 25-straight win-streak come to a close against Class 6A No. 1 Broken Arrow Tuesday night, the defending State Champions from No. 5 Sand Springs (6-1) bounced back with a dominant 55-18 win over No. 15 Enid (4-5) in the first round of the District Duals Quad. 

Brendon Wiseley received a forfeit at 106 pounds and the Sandites never trailed. Defending State Champion Riley Weir handily scored a 19-2 technical fall in 3:36 against Dae Stuber and Seth Jones pinned Austin Hisey in 53 seconds for a 17-0 lead.

Colten Roberts took an 11-1 lead into the second period against Jenbwij Nathan, quickly escaped, and took down his foe for a 17-1 tech fall in 2:45.

Irwin Portillo took on a tough competitor in Logan Herrell and the two traded points for a 6-5 first period shootout with the Plainsman on top. Portillo jumped out front in the second period, however, and scored a trio of nearfall points for the definitive lead. By the end of the third he had surged ahead for a 19-10 major decision. 26-0.

Scott Patton battled Hunter McGee at 138 pounds and the Sandite struck first with a takedown near the end of the first period. The second period went heavily in Patton’s favor and he started the final stretch with a quick reversal for nearfall points and ultimately won a 19-3 technical fall in 5:58 for the 31-0 lead.

Chris Kirby took on CJ Franks and gave up an early takedown before pinning Franks in 53 seconds. Kaleb Tabor followed Kirby’s lead and stuck Logan Griffin in 1:00 to make it 43-0.

Chase Masterson managed to avert the shutout by topping Jasanee Harjo 9-3 at 160 pounds to make it 43-3. Dayvon Taylor wasted no time in taking down Tyler Holland and pinned his foe at 1:04.

Noah Almy gave up a takedown and nearfall points to Lincoln Sefcik, who led 5-0 after a second period escape. Almy scored his first points midway through the period, but Sefcik quickly escaped and started the third period neutral with a 6-2 lead. Ultimately the Plainsman prevailed 8-3.

Josh Fincannon scored a pair of first period takedowns against Augie Pritchett and added another early in the second before pinning his opponent in 2:37. Brock Anderson received a forfeit at 220 to make it 55-12, then Robbie Parrish fell in 2:38 to Colten Dodd. 

Sand Springs will take on No. 13 Muskogee (5-2) and unranked Bartlesville (3-5) next. Bartlesville upset the Roughers 39-36 in the first dual of the evening. The four teams will wrestle a round-robin and the best record will advance to the Dual State Tournament at Shawnee's Firelake Arena this February.

CPHS Basketball: Boys fall 62-53 to No. 1 Broken Arrow, Savage scores 16

/

Class 6A No. 1 ranked Broken Arrow High School (11-1, 6-0) was caught off guard when they rolled into the Ed Dubie Field House as the No. 9 Sandites (11-3, 4-2) jumped out to a 19-8 first quarter lead. Unfortunately for Charles Page High School, the Tigers didn't get the top rank by being unable to adapt.

Throttling the Sandites 16-2 in the second quarter, the Tigers never trailed in the second half, but Sand Springs was constantly nipping at their heels. 

Camryn Dennis scored first for the Tigers, but Davon Richardson tied it up and Cole Durkee drilled a three for a lead that would last for most of the half. Colt Savage and Matthew Price also got in on the action and Durkee led the way with nine points for a 19-8 first quarter beat down.

The second quarter was a far bigger beat down, but for the visitors. Braden Boyer and Joshua Robinson cut it to 19-12, Colt Savage hit a two, then Broken Arrow rattled off fourteen points straight for a 26-21 halftime advantage.

The third quarter also went heavily to the visitors, who pushed their advantage to double digits and led 44-32 to start the final stanza. Sand Springs won the final quarter, but not by enough. 

Broken Arrow led by as much as fourteen and the Sandites cut it as close as seven, but every time the host team tried to battle back, the visitors jumped back out front. 

Dennis led all scorers with twenty points, followed by Robinson with seventeen. Boyer contributed fourteen to put three Tigers in double digits. Colt Savage led the Sandites with sixteen, followed by Cale Savage with twelve and Richardson with ten. 

The Sandites remain third in Frontier Valley Conference standings behind Broken Arrow and No. 7 Union (9-3, 5-1). Sand Springs will take a week off before traveling to Bartlesville (4-8, 1-5) next Tuesday. The Tigers will travel to the John Nobles Invitational in Moore on Thursday and will play 5A Durant (1-10) in the first round.

CPHS Basketball: Girls improve to 6-0 in FVC with 52-41 win over Broken Arrow, Johnson scores 21

/

It wasn’t the prettiest game of the season, but the Class 6A No. 9 Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (10-4) improved to 6-0 in Frontier Valley Conference play with a 52-41 Tuesday night win over Broken Arrow (2-10, 1-6). Junior standout Destiny Johnson led the way with 21 points, closely followed by University of Kansas-commit Holly Kersgieter with eighteen. 

Johnson missed a pair of free throws to start the game, but took a rebound to the house to make up for it on the next possession. Kersgieter followed it up with a pair of field goals, then Isabella Regalado iced a three for a 10-0 lead.

That advantage quickly evaporated, however. Kinsey Callen and Aaliya Nascimento cut it to 10-5 by the end of the first quarter. Bree Berge hit a three-pointer to kick off the second quarter, but the Lady Tigers went on an eight-point run to tie it up. Berge scored again for the Sandites, then Callen hit another three for the Tigers’ first lead of the game, 16-15.

Johnson made a three-point play and Kersgieter hit a free throw. Callen and Kersgieter exchanges twos, then Callen hit a three for the 21-21 tie. Kersgieter hit another basket to bring her first-half total to ten, but Callen drained her fifth three of the night to take a 24-23 halftime advantage with seventeen points.

Nascimento added to the Tiger lead with back-to-back layups to start the third quarter. Johnson rebounded a blocked Regalado three to get the Sandites in the book, but the visitors held the lead for most of the period before Sand Springs closed out the stanza with eleven-straight points to end the quarter 38-33.

Sand Springs continued to pull ahead in the fourth quarter and reestablished their double-digit lead with a three-point play from Johnson. Callen hit a two, Johnson scored three more from the stripe, Jada Hvtch scored her first basket, then Kersgieter added two more free throws to finish up 52-41. 

The Sandites keyed in pretty well on Broken Arrow’s deep ball in the second half, holding the Tigers to one three-pointer on nine attempts, but Nascimento picked up the slack and finished with fourteen points. Callen managed only one basket in the second half and finished with a team-high nineteen.

Sand Springs will take a week off before taking on their biggest test of the season at No. 2 Bartlesville (12-0, 6-0). The Bruins and Sandites are the top two teams in the conference and the only undefeated teams left. Broken Arrow will return to action Thursday against 5A No. 5 Booker T. Washington (8-4) in the first round of the Jenks-Union Tournament.
