CPHS Basketball: Sandites top Jenks 65-52 on Senior Night, Savage scores 25

University of Central Oklahoma-committed senior Colt Savage scored 25 points to lead the Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School boys' basketball team (15-6, 8-5) Tuesday night at the Ed Dubie Field House. The home team overcame a rough start and first-quarter deficit to hand Jenks (8-14, 3-10) a 65-52 loss on Sandite Senior Night. 

The unranked Trojans jumped out to an 8-0 lead with a handful of offensive rebounds and a pair of steals before Savage got the Sandites on the scoreboard. Eli Harris scored six en rout to a 10-2 lead before the Sandites found their mojo.

Cole Durkee drilled a three, Savage scored five more, and the Sandites trailed 13-10 to start the second quarter. The Trojans pushed their advantage to 23-16 before Savage hit a two and Durkee scored eight-straight to end the half with back-to-back threes and back-to-back free throws.

The third period was another Sandite win as they pushed their lead to 43-38, but the Trojans actually tied it up at 35-all midway through before Savage went on a five-point run. Ike Houston made a free throw and Jalen Woods hit a three, but Durkee closed out the period with a three-point play.

The game stayed close through most of the fourth until Cale Savage got hot with seven of his nine points in the final minutes. The Sandites ended on a six-point run to notch their second victory of the season over the Trojans. 

Colt Savage led all scorers, followed by Durkee with sixteen points and a team-high eight rebounds. Three Trojans made double digits. Harris and Blake Seacat posted twelve apiece, closely followed by Woods with eleven. 

Sand Springs will return to action Friday at 8:00 p.m. when they wrap up Frontier Valley Conference play at 5A No. 10 Bishop Kelley (10-11, 4-9), who they previously defeated 45-44 in the season-opener. The Trojans will travel to No. 13 Sapulpa (13-9, 5-8) to try and avenge an 84-70 January loss. Jenks and Sand Springs will meet again on the 23rd in the first round of the Regional Playoffs at Putnam City West.

Sandite of the Week: Davon Richardson scores 44 at No. 8 Owasso

View fullsize

6'4" Charles Page High School sophomore Davon Richardson pulled off one of the most remarkable performances in school history Friday night in Owasso, recording 44 points in a 97-77 loss to the eighth-ranked Rams (17-4, 9-3).

The tally was the first forty-point performance for a Sandite in several years and left his previous career best (24) in the dust. 

What's more impressive than the points is how he got them. Only four came from free throws and he scored forty on field goals while shooting 70.8%. He started even hotter than he finished, going 17-of-20 before missing his final four attempts of the night. He also secured three offensive rebounds, five defensive rebounds, and two blocks. 

Richardson paced the tenth-ranked Sandites (14-6, 7-5) with nine points in each of the first two periods, eleven in the third, and fifteen in the final stanza. He was 6-of-8 from three-point range with four of those coming in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter. At the rate he was playing he could easily have posted fifty, but came out of the game halfway through the fourth to give the second string minutes. 

The Sandites will return to action Tuesday with an 8:00 p.m. home game against Jenks (8-13, 3-9) in their final appearance of the season at the Ed Dubie Field House. They will play Jenks again on Friday the 23rd in the first round of the Regional Playoffs at Putnam City West.

CPHS Basketball: No. 3 Owasso hammers Sand Springs 61-35 at BOK Center

View fullsize

The Class 6A No. 13 ranked Charles Page High School girls' basketball team (13-7, 9-3) suffered their worst defeat in three years at the Third Annual High School Hoops Showcase Saturday night. The No. 3 Owasso Rams (18-3, 9-3) shut out the Sandites 17-0 in the first period at the BOK Center and rode that success to a 61-35 Frontier Valley Conference victory. 

Jacie Taber posted the first Sandite points with a pair of free throws and a field goal to start the second quarter, then Madison Burris added a free throw. The Rams immediately retaliated with six points of their own, Destiny Johnson got in on the action, Burris hit the first three for the Sandites, then Owasso went on an eleven point run before Taber hit another free throw to end the half 36-13.

The third quarter was the closest as both teams scored ten apiece, including six from University of Kansas-commit Holly Kersgieter. Kersgieter led her team with ten points, but Tiya Douglas led all scorers with 25. 

Sand Springs will return to action Tuesday when they host Jenks (11-10, 6-6) at 6:30 p.m. Owasso will host No. 19 Sapulpa (11-10, 6-6).

CPHS Basketball: Davon Richardson scores 44 in 97-77 loss at No. 8 Owasso

The Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School boys' basketball team (14-6, 7-5) was soundly defeated 97-77 in an unusually high-scoring affair at No. 8 Owasso (17-4, 9-3) Friday night, despite an incredible 44-point performance by 6'4" sophomore Davon Richardson.

The game kicked off like a replay of their last game as the Sandites jumped out to a quick lead with back-to-back layups from Richardson. Hayden Peterson got the Rams on the board with a free throw, but Matt Price made a three-point play for the 7-1 lead. Jake Thompson hit a pair from the charity stripe and Josh Proctor made the first Owasso field goal, Richardson retaliated, then Thompson hit a three to make it a one-point game.

Seth Pomeroy gave his team the lead once and for all with a steal and a layup. Proctor snagged four more off back-to-back steals and the Rams successfully flipped the script. Richardson hit two from the stripe, but Proctor made one of his own, then blocked a shot from Price and Thompson scored on the rebound.

The Rams rode an eight-point streak to a double-digit lead before Colt Savage scored back-to-back. Peterson got the final say of the first quarter, hitting a buzzer-beater for the 24-16 advantage.

Cole Durkee made a three-point play to kick off the second period, but Pomeroy hit a two and Thompson sank a three for another double-digit lead. The Rams ran away with it from there with five three-pointers for a 55-33 halftime advantage. Richardson and Thompson had eighteen points apiece in the first half alone.

Proctor hit a three to give his team a 25-point lead to start the third, Richardson scored a three of his own, Peterson added two, then the Sandites went on a five-point run to cut it back to nineteen. The game stayed in that vicinity for most of the quarter till Thompson iced a buzzer beater to make it 77-53.

Richardson continued his melee in the fourth quarter with three threes and a two in the first three minutes, cutting the deficit to seventeen points for the first time since the second period. Owasso had a quick answer in Preston Hendrix who came off the bench for back-to-back threes. Richardson hit yet another three and followed it up with a free throw for his final point of the night.

No matter how hot the Sandites got, the Rams always had an answer. With three minutes left the Sandite called it a night and sent in the backups, who actually cut the deficit to seventeen with a 9-2 run before the Rams hit the final two baskets of the night.

Richardson's 44 points were the most any Sandite has scored in several seasons, and a massive improvement on his previous career-high 24. He also collected eight rebounds and two blocks. Colt Savage was the only other Sandite in double digits, scoring twelve. Thompson paced the Rams with 29, followed by Proctor with eighteen, Peterson with seventeen, and Pomeroy with twelve.

Sand Springs will return to action Tuesday at 8:00 in their last home game of the season against Jenks (8-13, 3-9) who they previously defeated 64-45 in January. Owasso will aim to repeat a 67-65 victory over No. 13 Sapulpa (13-8, 5-7) Tuesday at home.

CPHS Basketball: Boys fall 53-34 to No. 4 Union, Savage scores 19

The Class 6A No. 10 ranked Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team (14-5, 7-4) went on the road to No. 4 Union (16-4, 9-2) and suffered a 53-34 defeat despite a game-high nineteen-point performance from University of Central Oklahoma-commit Colt Savage.

Ira Richardson drew first blood for the Redskins, Colt Savage made a three-point play for the Sandites, then Michiah McQuarters sank a three to reclaim the lead. Cole Durkee, McQuarters, and Davon Richardson scored twos, then McQuarters hit another three for the 10-7 lead.

McQuarters reached double digits in under five minutes and rattled off seven-straight points to double the visitors at 14-7 before Davon Richardson scored two on an inbounds. Noah Brown and Jordan Flood pushed the advantage to 20-9 by the end of the first quarter.

Brown scored on a steal to kick off the second quarter, Savage ended the streak with a free throw, and that was the only point the Sandites would score. The Redskins won a conservative 8-1 quarter and took a 28-10 advantage into the locker room.

Savage scored on a steal to start the third quarter, Garcia drained a three, then Savage laid up for two more. Flood added two, then Gage Fisher made his way into the scorebook with a three. Savage followed it up with a three of his own to cut it to a thirteen-point deficit and the two teams hung tight from there.

The Sandites had stopped hemorrhaging but couldn’t make up much ground, finishing the third 42-29. The fourth was another low-scoring affair and the Redskins came out on top, limiting the Sandites to a handful of points from Savage and securing a 53-34 victory.

Savage was the only Sandite in double digits. McQuarters led the Redskins with sixteen, Garcia had eleven, and Brown added ten.

Sand Springs will return to action Friday at 7:00 p.m. on the road against No. 8 Owasso (16-4, 8-3). The Sandites won a 72-64 December meeting, but the Rams will be riding high after upsetting No. 1 Broken Arrow (17-2, 9-1) 77-70. Union will travel to No. 13 Sapulpa (13-7, 5-6) Friday at 8:00 p.m. with the hope of avenging an 81-80 overtime loss from earlier this season.

CPHS Basketball: Girls overcome Union 49-37, Johnson scores 23

View fullsize

It wasn’t a perfect game, but the Class 6A No. 13 ranked Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (13-6, 9-2) utilized a fast start and a fourth-quarter resurgence to overcome Union High School (6-13, 3-7) Tuesday night on the road.

The Redskins scored first on a layup from Idalis Ortiz, but that was their only lead of the game. Isabella Regalado sank a three and Destiny Johnson hit two from the charity stripe to take the lead once and for all. Kimi Presnell hit a three, Johnson scored two more from the stripe, and Jacie Taber scored on a putback for a 12-7 advantage. Ortiz added another basket, then the Sandites went on an eight-point run to close out the quarter 20-9.

Union found momentum in the second quarter, riding an eight-point run into the second half to cut it to 25-19. The visitors led by as much as fourteen before the Sadie Moyer hit a pair of free throws to end the third quarter 36-31.

The home team may have won the middle two quarters, but the Sandites won the bookends and got back out front with a seven point run in the fourth before Moyer scored the only three of the night for Union. Kersgieter and Johnson combined for six more before Kaylen Nelson ended the game with a free throw.

The Sandites shared scoring duties in the first quarter with five players making their way in the book, but Kersgieter and Johnson were responsible for all 39 points in the next three periods. Johnson led all scorers with 23 points, while Moyer led the Redskins with fifteen. Kersgieter was the only other player in double-digits, putting up fourteen.

Sand Springs will return to action Saturday at the BOK Center with a 6:30 p.m. game against No. 3 Owasso (16-3, 7-3). The Sandites won the first meeting 49-42, but the Rams were missing key players at the time and are currently riding a seven-game streak. Union will travel to No. 19 Sapulpa (11-9, 6-5) Friday at 6:30 p.m. to try and avenge a 53-33 December loss.
