The Class 6A-II No. 11 ranked Charles Page High School football team (2-5, 1-3) notched their first district win 35-14 at Ponca City last week. The Sandites are all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, though they could technically still make it if they win out.

To do so they’ll need three-straight upsets, starting with No. 2 Bixby (6-1, 4-0) this Thursday at 7:00 p.m.

Last Week

The Sandites snapped a four-game losing streak with a dominant 35-14 performance in Ponca City (0-7, 0-4). Caden Pennington was 14-22-165-1 passing and 8-64 on the ground for four total touchdowns. Trey Wilkerson led the rush with eight carries for 75 yards and a score. Jacob Snodgrass and Braden Foster each had five receptions for 51 yards, with Snodgrass hauling in a touchdown. Jaden Weiser went 5/5 on PATs.

Hayden Cramer and JT Bristow led a successful defense that racked up 29 yards on eight tackles for loss with four zero-gain stops. The Wildcats managed only 3.5 yards per play and 2.7 yards per carry, while Luke Bratcher and Lucas Adcock provided excellent pass coverage, limiting Justin Andrews to six completions on eighteen attempts. Ponca was forced to punt four times, gave up four turnovers on downs, and was limited to only six plays and eighteen yards per possession.

The Spartans thumped Sapulpa 65-6 in their second-biggest win of the season with a 30-0 first half shutout.

This Season

The Sandites started strong, despite an opening week loss to a tough Texas program. They easily handled a still winless Putnam City team, but things took a downward turn from there. After an unsurprising loss to a powerhouse Arkansas team they suffered three come-from-behind losses. They have no problem scoring and no problem getting stops, but both sides of the ball have a hard time finishing. The Sandites own the No. 9 offense in Class 6A-II.

Bixby is riding a six-game win streak after a 28-14 season-opening loss to Jenks. Since then they’ve recorded two shutouts and hung half a hundred on three different opponents.

The Programs

Sand Springs is coming off a 5-6 season, led by twelfth year Head Coach Dustin Kinard with a 62-65 record. They are riding an all-time program best streak of six-straight seasons with playoff berths. They have been in Class 6A-II since its inception in 2014. The Sandites hold one gold ball, winning the 2A State title in 1966.

The Spartans are coming off an 8-5 season, led by ninth-year Head Coach Loren Montgomery (72-39), a product of Sand Springs during the L.D. Baines era. The Spartans won their first three State Titles in 2014, 2015, and 2016 and came in runner-up last year, all at the 6A-II level.

The Series (Bixby 16-12)

The two teams first met in 1922 during the fourth year of Sandite football when Bixby edged out A.R. Bateman’s Sandites 19-14. Sand Springs won the next two meetings in 1926 and 1927 and the schools didn’t battle again till 1980.

Sand Springs and Bixby split a six-year series in the 1980s, with the lowest-scoring game occurring in 1984 with a 5-3 Sandite victory.

Sand Springs won a 5-3 series in the 1990s. The only overtime game came in 1992 with the Spartans winning 20-17, then Sand Springs notched the first shut out in 1997 at 19-0.

The Spartans have dominated the modern era 9-2 since the series was resurrected in 2010, when the Spartans won a 48-35 shootout in the highest-scoring affair yet.

Things have been particularly competitive since the inception of 6A-II and the teams have met three times in the post-season. The Sandites made their first Semifinal appearance since 1997 in 2014 but were missing their starting kicker, starting quarterback, leading receiver, and the two leading tacklers. They were knocked out 41-14 by the Spartans after losing only 34-31 two weeks prior.

The Sandites shocked the Spartans in 2015 with a 20-0 senior night shutout, their first shutout loss since 2008. They got payback in the post season with a 38-28 State Championship win in the Sandites’ first title game since 1966.

Bixby won the next three meetings after that and their four-straight win streak is the longest streak in the series. They knocked Sand Springs out of the semifinals again in 2016 and won last year’s match 41-21.

CPHS Volleyball: Sandites end season 7-18 with Regional loss to Broken Arrow

The Charles Page High School varsity volleyball team (7-18) took on the Frontier Valley Conference Champions from No. 9 ranked Broken Arrow (20-13) Tuesday evening at Owasso High School.

The Lady Sandites fell in sets of 25-23, 25-11, and 25-12 in the first round of the Regional Championship to end their season.

Macy Blackburn scored the first kill for Broken Arrow, the Tigers made a service error, then scored on a kill from Mackenzie McGuire. The Sandites rattled off four straight wins from there for a 5-2 lead. Madison Blaylock made an impressive dig that the Tigers let fall undefended. Cheyenne Henry made a kill, then combined on a block with Rachel Hines.

The teams traded blows till the Tigers dug themselves into an 11-7 deficit with three-straight errors. A quick timeout to adjust and they rattled off five straight points with four kills. Devree Youngblood tied it at 12-12, Cloe Campfield tied it at 13-13, and Henry tied it at 14-14 before the Sandites put together a three point run for the 18-15 lead with a kill from Henry and a block from Henry and Youngblood.

Sand Springs stayed out front till 20-17, then the Tigers rattled off four straight. The set tied three more times before Kiana Clark and Gracie Daniels combined on a block for the 25-23 victory. Henry was the star of the game with five kills and two blocks.

Broken Arrow buried Sand Springs in an early 13-5 deficit in set two with a 10-1 run and the Sandites never recovered. Sand Springs committed ten errors with only three kills, and the Tigers cleaned up their serve game with four aces and half as many service errors in the 25-11 beat down.

Game three started as another back and forth affair. Broken Arrow started to pull ahead at 8-5, then committed four errors to give the Sandites the lead. Olivia Boss tied it at 9-9, Vanessa Wyrick killed for the lead, then the Tigers got back into their groove with eight straight rallies to knock the Sandites out of contention.

The Tigers, who went undefeated in conference action this season, were defeated 3-0 by the hosting Rams in the Regional finals. Owasso and Jenks are the lone FVC teams to advance to the State Tournament.

CPHS Football Preview: Sandites ride six-year win streak into Ponca City meeting

View fullsize

University of Central Oklahoma freshman Payton Scott ran for 284 yards and five touchdowns on only 25 carries in last year’s lopsided 42-7 victory.

The Class 6A-II No. 11 ranked Charles Page High School football team (1-5, 0-3) is still looking for their first district win, though at this point they’ll need to win out to make the playoffs.

The Sandites will have a good shot at snapping their four-game losing streak when they travel to a winless Ponca City (0-6, 0-3) Friday at 7:00 p.m.

Last Week

The Sandites had homecoming spoiled 29-27 by Bartlesville despite owning a 20-7 lead by the end of the first quarter. Caden Pennington led the offense with a 6-13-138-1 passing performance for three touchdowns and a 13-95 run game. Daren Hawkins caught four passes for 90 yards and two scores and Braden Foster caught two throws for 48 yards and a touchdown. Joel Mackey carried 10-69 for one touchdown and Jaden Weiser was three-for-three on extra point kicks. Luke Bratcher had a forced fumble, Kaden Glass had a recovery, and Mackey blocked a PAT.

Ponca had their second-biggest offensive showing of the season, scoring twenty points against Bixby, but also gave up 57 in their worst defensive allowance.

Ponca is riding an eleven game losing streak that that Sandites kicked off last year. They’ve played a fairly tough schedule including two undefeated 5A teams and average 13.5 points per game.

The Programs

Sand Springs is coming off a 5-6 season, led by twelfth year Head Coach Dustin Kinard with a 61-65 record. They are riding an all-time program best streak of six-straight seasons with playoff berths. They have been in Class 6A-II since its inception in 2014. The Sandites hold one gold ball, winning the 2A State title in 1966.

Ponca City coming off a 1-9 season and is led by first-year Head Coach Scott Harmon with a 127-55 record in sixteen seasons at lower classifications. The Wildcats haven’t had a winning season since 2005. They have never won a football title.

The Series (Sand Springs 25-18-1)

The Ponca City series was an exciting one from the very beginning. The first installment was in 1952 when the Wildcats knocked Cecil Hankins’s District Champions out of the playoffs in a home Thanksgiving Day battle. The next year resulted in a 7-7 tie. In 1954, with future MLB 3X World Series champion Jerry Adair at quarterback, the Sandites rallied from a 20-0 deficit to a 21-20 victory.

The series took a hiatus until 1961, when Ponca won handily, then stalled again till 1978. Sand Springs became the first team to win back-to-back meetings in 1981 with a 31-24 triple overtime win on the road.

The Wildcats won three in a row from 1984 to 1986, then Sand Springs won four in a row from 1987 to 1990, including the series’ first shutouts of 20-0 in 1988 and 28-0 in 1990. The Sandites won another streak of four from 1996-1999, then Ponca dominated from 2000 to 2005.

The Wildcats scored 40+ points in three-straight games during the dark ages of Sandite football. Sand Springs lost 28-straight games from 2001-2004, including a 41-0 shutout in 2004 and the Wildcats’ most lopsided victory at 48-2 in 2003.

Brad Odom’s Sandites snapped the losing streak in 2006 with a 21-0 shutout and they won five-straight from there. 2008 saw a wild 45-42 Sandite shootout victory. Sand Springs went 1-9 in 2010, but found their lone victory 35-28 against Ponca.

The Wildcats’ last victory came in 2011, and the Sandites are riding a six-game win streak. Sand Springs scored a series-best 57-7 win in 2013, and the highest-scoring meeting between the two teams came in 2016 at 56-35. Last year Payton Scott scored five touchdowns in a 42-7 road win.

The Class 6A-II No. 9 ranked Charles Page High School football team (1-4, 0-2) is still looking for their first district win, making Friday’s Homecoming bout with No. 12 Bartlesville (1-4, 0-2) all the more crucial.

The two teams have identical records and both need to start winning ASAP if they hope to make the playoffs.

While the game will be played Friday, the Sand Springs Homecoming Parade will be held Thursday at 6:00 p.m. in the downtown Triangle District. Following the parade, there will be a prayer rally for Head Coach Dustin Kinard at the Ed Dubie Field House at 7:30 p.m. Kinard was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Sand Springs had an excellent showing in a home game against Muskogee and led 27-24 heading into the fourth quarter before the Roughers rattled off 21 unanswered points to close the night. Caden Pennington scored on a 29-yard run and a 60-yard pass to Daren Hawkins. Joel Mackey scored on a 29-yard run and Trey Wilkerson scored on a 27-yard run.

Jaden Weiser was three-for-three on extra points. Pennington was 5-14-80-0 passing and Mackey led the ground at 15-100. The offensive line opened up huge blocks all night long and the defense was solid as well. The Roughers began to shut down the ground game in the third, however, and the Sandites failed to adjust.

DeAndre Young ran for 284 yards and five touchdowns in the Bruins’ 63-58 shootout loss at Sapulpa, and Laken Clowdus ran for 205 yards and two touchdowns.

The Programs

Sand Springs is coming off a 5-6 season, led by twelfth year Head Coach Dustin Kinard with a 61-64 record. They are riding an all-time program best streak of six-straight seasons with playoff berths. They have been in Class 6A-II since its inception in 2014. The Sandites hold one gold ball, winning the 2A State title in 1966.

Bartlesville is coming off a 1-8 season, led by first year Head Coach Lee Blankenship who holds a 61-30 career record. The Bruins have been in Class 6A-II since its inception but haven’t made the playoffs since a 10-2 season in 2015. They have never won a State Title in football.

The Series (Bartlesville 38-25)

The Bartlesville-Sand Springs series dates back to the very first year of Sand Springs football, when the Sandites defeated Bartlesville Central High 19-7 under Head Coach Ivan Grover. Sand Springs High School and the Yellowjackets split the series 3-3 before Central High School was converted to a junior high in 1939.

College High, which lasted from 1939 to 1982, won an intermittent series with the Sandites 10-4. The Sooner High Spartans (1966-1982) also led their series 6-3.

The rivalry renewed in 1982, the very first year after Sooner High and College High unified as Bartlesville High School under a new mascot, the Bruin. The two teams met annually through 1997 and the Bruins led that series 11-5 including a seven-year win streak. After a two-year hiatus, they met again from 2000 to present and the Sandites lead that run 10-8.

CPHS Softball: Sandites host Regional Championship Tuesday and Wednesday

The three-time defending Regional Champions will look for their fourth-straight ticket to State this week.

The Charles Page High School varsity softball team (19-7) ended their regular season Thursday with a 6-4 loss to Oologah-Talala (26-6) after committing five errors in their Regional tune-up game. On Tuesday they’ll look to rebound with a noon battle against Enid (2-21).

The Sandites actually outhit the Mustangs 9-6, but couldn’t get past their own mistakes. Jacie Taber (3-0, 32-10) walked one and Cameron Clemons made an error at third in the top of the first, setting up a 2RBI single by Bailie Runner.

Sabrina Usher tied the game in the bottom of the third with her sixth home run of the season, bringing in Kimi Presnell who singled. It wouldn’t take long for the Mustangs to jump back out front, however. With Aliyah Taff (4-4, 4-6) taking over pitching duties in the fourth, the Sandites gave up two singles and two errors, letting Oologah take a 4-2 lead.

Madelyn Blair hit her fourth home run of the year in the bottom of the sixth, but Oologah took advantage of two singles and two errors in the seventh for the 6-3 advantage. Jenson Arnold doubled in Usher in the bottom of the inning, but that would be the last run of the game.

The Sandites should have an easy start to the Regional Tournament Tuesday. Enid has won only two games and has been shutout ten times. The two teams haven’t met yet this season, but the Sandites are 8-1 against mutual opponents with an average score of 10-2, while the Pacers are 0-9 with an average of 1-12.

On the other side of the bracket is Union (19-19) vs. Putnam City North (5-24) at 2:00 p.m. The Sandites have a pair of 10-0 shutouts against Putnam North, but have yet to meet Union this season.

Sand Springs is 5-4 against mutual opponents with the Redskins, with an average score of 4-3. The Redskins are 3-9 with an average score of 5-7. The Sandites have a 3-0 win over Ft. Gibson, who beat Union 10-9. Union split wins with Moore, while the Sandites fell 4-3 in their only meeting. Sand Springs beat Owasso 6-5, who beat Union 4-0 and 10-4. The Sandites also beat Westmoore 2-1, who Union lost 10-0 to.

The losers of the first two games will play an elimination match at 4:00 p.m and the winners will play at 6:00 p.m. The consolation winner will play the Game 4 loser Wednesday at noon, and the winner of that game will play the top team at 2:00 p.m. A seventh game will be played at 4:00 p.m. if necessary.

The Sandites hold fifteen Regional titles and have won three years straight to advance to the State Tournament. They lost in the quarterfinals the past two years but advanced to the Championship round in 2015, falling 4-3 to Choctaw. The Class of 2019 has a chance to be only the fourth team in school history to go to State every year.
