CPHS Fishing: Two Sandite teams place top-ten at OBN State Championship

Five teams and ten anglers from Charles Page High School competed at a pair of Oklahoma Bass Nation High School events this past weekend. The fifth OBN Trail event was held Saturday on Lake Texoma, followed by the State Championship on Sunday.

Mack Taylor and Reese David had the best performance overall for Sand Springs, catching the five-fish limit both days. They placed 26th on Saturday with 10.44 pounds and 9th on Sunday with 13.07 pounds. Both were season-best performances.

Kyle and Kale Hilligoss also caught the limit both days. On Saturday they hauled in 9.03 pounds for 32nd and on Sunday they had a season-best 13.00 pounds for 10th place.

Austin Smith and Joe Nelson had their best performance of the season Saturday, placing 18th with five fish weighing 11.99 pounds. On Sunday they caught five fish weighing 9.13 pounds for 22nd place.

Seth Kearns and Cole Scott caught a season-best five fish weighing 10.69 pounds for 25th place on Saturday. On Sunday they took 36th with two fish weighing 5.59 pounds.

Hayden King and Collin Brady caught a 1.74 pound fish on Saturday for 61st. On Sunday they caught two fish totaling 3.25 pounds for 46th.

Grove High School’s Kade Sharp and Josh Glenn won the Saturday event with 19.50 pounds. Central Oklahoma’s Hunter and Cameron Meadows won the State Championship handily with an 18.52-pound haul. Westmoore duo Jaxon Hanson and Seth Lee came in runner-up with 15.93 pounds.

The top-two teams from the Championship will advance to the National Tournament. Several of the top-placing teams from the Trail standings will also qualify. Final Trail standings and National qualifiers have yet to be announced.

CPHS Baseball: Sandites headed to Owasso Regional, first game Wednesday

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team will play their first two Regional playoff games Wednesday afternoon in Owasso. They’ll have to win at least one to stay alive in the post-season.

The Sandites finished the regular season 21-9 after going 22-10 in last year’s regular season. They improved over the prior season in several categories. Their 8-4 district record is their best since 2015.

6.3 runs per game is the best Sandite offense since 2016, and their 3.3 runs allowed is their best defense since at least 2012. This is their third-straight season with six shutouts, and their first season since 2012 without a shutout loss. But the season isn’t over yet.

Sand Springs will face Union (11-21) Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. The District 4 Champions from Owasso (30-5) will play the Redskins at 12:00 p.m. Sand Springs and Owasso will meet at 6:00 p.m. The tournament is double-elimination.

Thursday could see anywhere between one and three games depending on how Wednesday shakes out. If all three teams have one loss after Wednesday, then Sand Springs and Union will play again on Thursday, with the winner taking on Owasso. The day will kick off at 3:00 p.m.

Owasso beat Union 10-0 and 8-5 last week in district action. Sand Springs beat Union 5-3 two weeks ago in a non-district game. The Rams and Sandites have yet to play each other.

The Rams are ranked 42nd in the nation by PerfectGame and have won thirteen State titles, most recently in 2015. They own 32 Regional titles and haven’t failed to make the State Tournament since 2014. Union is the defending State Champion with seven State titles.

Sand Springs has advanced to State eight times, most recently in 2011. They have made it to the semifinals three times and played in the Championship only once, falling to Will Rogers in 1978.

CPHS Baseball: Sandites shut out Glenpool 13-0 in regular-season finale

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team wrapped up the regular season with a 21-9 overall record and 8-4 record in District 6A-3. The boys fell 2-1 and 4-3 to Enid (24-9, 8-4) on Thursday and Friday, but bounced back with a dominant 13-0 shutout of Glenpool (9-23) in their last game before the Regional playoffs.

Sebastian Cassidy (4-3) pitched a three-inning no-hitter with two strikeouts and two walks against Glenpool, while Jaxon Skaggs (3-1) tossed three hits and one strikeout in two innings of relief. The Sandites only needed nine hits to score twelve runs thanks to an eleven-walk performance by the Warriors.

Cal Watkins reached on a fielder’s choice in the first inning, stole second and third, then scored on a single from Cale Savage. The boys scored nine runs in the third. Watkins scored on a fielder’s choice. Kyler Copeland and Seth Villines hit RBI singles to score Cale and Cason Savage, and the home team took a 4-0 lead.

Villines got a free run after three-straight walks, then Kaegan Murray brought in Ryan Seabolt and Jacob Shields on a single. Jacob Snodgrass scored on a passed ball, Murray walked in, then Brycen Peterman scored on a fielder’s choice to make it 10-0.

The Warriors stranded loaded bases in the fourth and the home team put the game away soon after. Hayden Blair and Snodgrass hit back-to-back triples and Snodgrass scored on an error. Murray walked in on loaded bases for the final run of the game. A strikeout from Skaggs and a double play from Peterman to Watkins to Kiefer Massey brought the melee to a close.

4/25/19 Enid 2 CPHS 1

Senior Ben Banker (6-1, 7-1) suffered his first career loss on Thursday, throwing six hits, four strikeouts, and three walks in the team’s lowest-scoring game of the season. John Miller (2-1, 7-2) pitched one inning of relief and threw one strikeout.

The Plainsmen scored both of their runs in the top of the second with a homer from Titan Stephens. Keaton Campbell averted the shutout with a steal of home in the fourth. The Sandites were held to a season-low three hits and stranded seven runners, and were knocked out of contention for the District Title.

4/26/19 Enid 4 CPHS 3

On Friday the boys still had a shot at District Runners-Up, but that too was taken from them. Plainsman pitcher Brett Russell threw six hits and four walks, but struck out eight Sandites. Meanwhile Sand Springs went through four pitchers. The visiting Sandites led till the bottom of the fifth, but a three-run inning for Enid snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

Teagan Cook hit an RBI single in his first varsity at-bat, followed by Villines. Snodgrass and Peterman scored runs for the 2-0 lead. Villines hit another RBI single in the fourth, this time scoring Cason Savage.

Russell scored one for the Plainsmen on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the second. Enid stranded loaded bases in the fourth, but ran away with it the next inning. After a walk, a balk, and a single gave up a run, Miller was replaced on the mound by Massey (1-0). Massey threw a walk and was replaced by Preston Berg (0-1), who gave up a hit and a hit-by-pitch, and was in-turn replaced by Watkins (1-1).

Watkins threw one hit, one strikeout, and three walks in two innings and was credited with the loss. Miller had eight hits, two strikeouts, and three walks.

CPHS Softball: Lady Sandites finish season with first winning record since 2016

Sand Springs has never been as competitive in slow pitch as they are in fast pitch. Seniors rarely compete in the spring, and the girls have never qualified for the State Tournament. They came close this year, however, finishing with their first winning record in three seasons.

Of the five college-bound Sandite sluggers, only one returned for the spring season, and Cowley County Community College-commit Elizabeth Luttrell led her particularly talented underclassmen to a 14-9 record.

Luttrell handled the vast majority of the pitching and went 11-9 on the mound with a 10.33 ERA, 2.99 WHIP, and 27 strikeouts. She also led the team in hits (41), RBI (47), home runs (17), and grand slams (3). She hit home runs in five-straight games to start the season.

Six players batted over .500 on the season, led by junior standout Sabrina Usher with a .638 batting average, 1.29 slugging average, and .716 on-base percentage. Usher had 33 runs, 37 hits, 14 homers, 38 RBI, and one grand slam. She also had a team-high 16 walks, mostly intentional.

Luttrell and Usher tied with a team-high three homers in a single game. Both did it in the third game of the season against Owasso. The two also had a team-best five consecutive games with an RBI.

Felicity Horn led the team with 29 singles. Makenna Skaggs led with 7 doubles. Skaggs, Horn, and Raegan Rector all had two triples apiece.

Madison Lee, Horn, Rector, Rachael Jones, Avery Tanner, Skaggs, and Mackenzie Bechtold all hit dingers this season. Skaggs, Horn, Rector, Usher, Luttrell, and Bechtold all hit 50% or higher at the plate.

Rector scored runs in a team-best thirteen consecutive games while Skaggs had a team-best nineteen-straight games with a hit. Bechtold and Tanner had seven games apiece with perfect plate performances. Tanner had five perfect games in a row with hits on ten-straight at-bats.

Sophomore Aliyah Taff was the only other pitcher for the team, earning a 3-0 record, 7.44 ERA, and 2.5 WHIP. Bechtold was in on a team-high eleven double plays.

The season came to an end with a 2-2 performance at the Regional Tournament Wednesday at Union. The girls shut out Enid 14-0 in the first game and beat Union 20-8 in game three, but fell 12-10 and 22-12 to the host Redskins in the best-of-three finals series.

Sand Springs outhit the Pacers 14 to 4 for their second shut out of the season. Rector scored on an error in the first inning, then the girls scored the remaining thirteen runs in the third for a run-rule victory. Rector, Horn, Luttrell, and Skaggs hit RBI singles. Usher had a 2RBI triple, and Tanner and Horn both batted in runs on doubles.

The Sandites never led in their first game against Union, but tied it 10-10 going into the seventh, despite being outhit 21 to 14. Usher hit two solo homers and Lee scored a three-run blast in the second. After Usher’s first two hits the Redskins intentionally walked her twice.

Union made the mistake of pitching to Usher in their rematch, and she went yard twice more. She was three-for-three at the plate with three runs and six RBI. Luttrell also had two homers: a solo shot and a grand slam.

Usher gave the Sandites a 3-0 lead with her first dinger, then Luttrell sent one over the same section of fence. Jones had a two-run homer that same inning.

The Redskins cut it to 7-6 in the top of the third, but the visitors quickly retaliated. Tanner, Rector, and Horn all batted in runs before Luttrell’s grand slam made it 14-6. Tanner walked in a free run in the fourth then Horn scored a two-run single before Usher’s three-run homer concluded the run-rule win.

Union rallied in the final game, outhitting the Sandites 27-16. Sand Springs led after the first and second innings, but went scoreless through three and fell too far behind to come back.

Rector hit a solo blast in the first, then Horn, Usher, and Skaggs scored runs for a 4-0 lead. Union tied it up briefly, Luttrell hit an RBI single in the bottom of the second, then the Redskins went on a warpath.

Both teams had their best inning in the sixth. Union scored eight for a 22-5 lead. Horn hit a 2RBI double, Usher hit an RBI single, Luttrell hit a 3RBI homer, and Jones hit an RBI double for the final run of the game.

The Lady Sandites improved from a 9-12 Slow Pitch record in 2018. The Fast Pitch team went 23-9 in the fall and won their fourth-straight Regional title. They are coached by Shelli Brown in her 22nd year. Brown holds a 550-303 fast pitch record, but slow pitch records are harder to find. The Lady Sandites are 65-51 since 2014 in the spring.

In addition to Luttrell, four other Lady Sandites have also signed collegiate letters of intent. Jacie Taber is headed to Missouri State University, Kimi Presnell will play at Rogers State University, Cameron Clemons will compete at Southern Arkansas University, and Madelyn Blair will play at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.

OSSAA Soccer: Sandites finish as District Runners-Up, will host Enid in playoffs

Not only is the Charles Page High School boys’ soccer team headed to the playoffs for the first time in recent memory, they also get to host their first round game after finishing as the District 6A-4 Runners-Up.

The Sandites (12-2) concluded the regular season last week with a 4-2 road win against Capitol Hill, putting them at a 5-2 district record. Also 5-2 is Owasso, who the Sandites defeated 5-4 last Tuesday for the tie-breaker win. Securing the district crown was the defending State Champions from Union (10-2, 7-0).

Sand Springs will host Enid (9-6) Tuesday, April 30th, at 7:00 p.m. The quarterfinals will be held Friday, May 3rd on the home field of the winner of Jenks vs. Norman. Semifinals are set for Tuesday, May 7th. The Championship round will be played either May 10th or 11th.

Sand Springs is having a historic season, winning their first nine matches and the Edison Green and White Tournament. They are 6-2 against 6A opponents, have won their last two matches, own four shutouts, and win by an average score of 3-1.

Enid is 7-4 against 6A foes and is coming off a win with an average score of 2-1. Neither team qualified for last year’s playoffs.

The Sandites previously beat the Plainsmen 2-1 in a non-district overtime shootout. Gustavo Saldana made a regulation penalty kick to tie the match and send it to overtime. Then Kaiden Cox, David Fancher, Fernando Saldana, and Gustavo Saldana all made PKs to win the shootout 4-3. Ethan Tippit got the win in the net with three saves.

Fernando Saldana, a sophomore, has been the bread and butter for the Sandite offense this season with fourteen goals. No Sandite but Saldana has scored a hat trick, and Saldana has two. He also has two braces and a four-point performance against Shawnee.

Sand Springs isn’t a one-hit wonder, however. Twelve players have scored and eleven have goals. Senior Gustavo Saldana and sophomore Jack Bratcher both have braces and are tied for second on the team in total scoring.

CPHS Baseball: Sandites sweep Southmoore, Jaxon Skaggs throws 14 strikeouts

Charles Page High School junior Jaxon Skaggs (3-1) had a breakout performance Monday evening, throwing fourteen strikeouts, two hits, three walks, and no runs in five innings on the mound.

The Sandites (20-7, 8-2) won 5-1 Monday and 2-0 Tuesday against Southmoore High School (4-27, 2-10) to move into the second-place position in district standings.

Northern Oklahoma College-commit Cale Savage went two-for-three at the plate Monday, scoring two runs and four RBI with a double and a home run. The dinger was only the second of the season for Sand Springs, and the second of Savage’s career, and it put the home team up 1-0 in the top of the fourth.

Kiefer Massey hit an RBI single in the sixth to score Savage. The Sabercats also got on the board that inning with an RBI double from Jared Clark to score Parker Powell. Savage cleared a loaded diamond with a 3RBI double in the top of the seventh.

Preston Berg (0-1) pitched two innings of relief, throwing three hits, three strikeouts, and one walk to earn his first save of the season.

Undefeated senior Seth Villines (4-0, 5-0) went the distance Tuesday, tossing two hits, four walks, and four strikeouts in the seven-inning shutout.

Sand Springs scored both of their runs in the fourth inning Tuesday. Brycen Peterman came in on a single from Jacob Snodgrass and Cal Watkins stole home.

The game was the fifth shutout of the season for Sand Springs. The win pushed them to their second-consecutive twenty-win season and best district record since 2015.

Sandite baseball will return to action Thursday at 6:00 p.m. when they host Enid (22-9, 6-4). They will then travel to Enid Friday. The Sandites can clinch the District Title by winning their final two games.
