CPHS Basketball: Girls beat Broken Arrow 69-67 on Senior Night, Madison Burris scores 15

The Class 6A No. 11 ranked Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (15-7, 8-6) made its third double-digit comeback win of the season Friday night at the Ed Dubie Field House, 69-67 against Broken Arrow (9-13, 5-7) in a Senior Night preview of their upcoming Thursday playoff game. 

McKenzie Harris got her first start of the season and scored the opening three-pointer. Raegan Padilla added a two and Hailey Jackson hit a pair of free throws but the Tigers took a 9-7 lead to end the quarter. Twelve Sandites saw action in the first quarter and the starters had limited minutes. 

The Sandites snagged 13 offensive rebounds in the first half but struggled with accuracy, going 8-of-38 on field goals. Broken Arrow was an even 11-of-22 and rode that to a 34-25 halftime lead. Sand Springs was up 21-19 till Taleyah Jones hit three-straight threes to pace an eleven-point run. 

The home team came storming back early in the second half and cut it to 39-38 with threes from Madison Burris and Jade Shrum, but Broken Arrow answered with an 11-2 run for the double-digit lead at 50-40. Darrian Jordan scored on a steal and assist from Burris to end the quarter 55-49.

Sand Springs won the fourth quarter 20-12 and scored seven in a row to cut their deficit to 57-56. A five point run from Journey Armstead gave them their first lead since the second quarter with 2:18 to play. The lead changed four more times from there and Jackson scored the final go-ahead putback at 66-65. Jackson and Padilla combined for three free throws and a last second shot from Jones wasn’t enough to even the score. 

Jones led all scorers with 25 points, but Makayla Adams was the only other Tiger in double digits, putting up 13. The Sandites were led by Burris with 15, Armstead with 14, Padilla with 13, and Jackson with 10. Jackson added 12 rebounds for her fourth double-double of the season. 

The game was the regular season finale for both teams, but they will get a rematch Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the first round of the Regional Championship at Union High School.

CPHS Baseball: Tatum Watie throws 9 strikeouts in 9-3 scrimmage win against Booker T. Washington

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team split its first two scrimmages of the season, falling 10-0 to perennial powerhouse Owasso on Monday, but made up for it with a 9-3 win against Booker T. Washington Tuesday.

Jaxon Skaggs got the start and the loss for Sand Springs against Owasso, giving up three hits and one run with no walks and one strikeout in four innings. Keaton Campbell threw three hits, four runs, and a walk in the fifth. Sebastian Cassidy tossed three hits, five runs, and four walks in the sixth. Jasper Adams pitched two hits, no runs, and a strikeout in the seventh.

The returning State Qualifiers from Owasso tossed 14 strikeouts and only one walk, and the Sandites came away with a .077 batting average. Ty Pennington and Gabe Glenn posted their only hits, both singles.

Tuesday saw a much stronger effort as the Sandites out-hit the Hornets 14 to 3. They also tossed 15 strikeouts, but gave up ten walks and committed four errors.

Northeastern State University-signee Tatum Watie got the start and the win, throwing a no-hitter with one run, nine strikeouts, and four walks in four innings. Brycen Peterman tossed three hits, two runs, five strikeouts, and three walks in three innings. Pennington threw one strikeout and three walks in the eighth inning.

They will host a scrimmage against Bartlesville Friday at 5:00 p.m.

CPHS Basketball: Boys fall 69-56 to No. 1 Booker T. Washington, Fox scores 20

The Class 6A No. 9 ranked Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team (16-5, 8-5) took on the Frontier Valley Conference Champions from No. 1 Booker T. Washington (16-5, 12-1) on the road Tuesday night and were unable to repeat their January upset.

The two teams were very similar on shooting, rebounding, steals, and blocks. The Sandites had a more balanced team effort with six scoring players while the Hornets only had four, but they were unable to overcome lopsided fouls and Hornet star power. The teams were equally matched in the paint, but Washington had three more three-pointers and half as many fouls as the Sandites.

University of Kansas-commit Bryce Thompson led all scorers with 24 points, followed by University of Oklahoma-commit Trey Phipps with 21 points and Jalen Breath with 17. The Sandites also had three players in double-digits. Junior Marlo Fox scored 20, University of Central Oklahoma-commit Davon Richardson had his eighth double-double of the year with 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Cason Savage added 10 points.

Sand Springs could not have played better in the first quarter and led for almost all of it. Thompson kicked off the game with a three, but Ryan Shoemaker hit a layup for the 6-5 lead in his first varsity start, and the Sandites didn’t trail till the 4:40 mark of the second quarter.

Sand Springs led 16-12 after the first quarter, but Washington reclaimed the lead with a six-point run capped by a layup from Breath. Sand Springs responded by scoring six of their own, including four from Fox, and they were up 29-25 late in the half, but the home team closed out with a ten-point run thanks to numerous Sandite fouls.

The Sandites won the third quarter 16-14. They fell behind 45-35 at the 4:23 mark, but finished the stanza 10-4 to enter the home stretch 49-45. Washington finally began to pull away with a seven-point run in the middle of the period for their biggest lead at 67-51.

Sandite basketball will return to action Friday at 8:00 p.m. with a regular season finale against No. 11 Broken Arrow (15-6, 7-5). The Tigers won their last meeting 63-51 during a 13-1 start to the season, but since then they are 2-5 and the Sandites will be looking for payback with home court advantage. The Hornets, who already clinched the FVC title, will wrap up the regular season on the road against Sapulpa (9-12, 4-8) Friday at 8:00 p.m. They previously beat the Chieftains 84-62 in December.

CPHS Basketball: Girls fall 59-49 to No. 3 Booker T. Washington, Armstead scores 21

The Class 6A No. 11 ranked Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (14-7, 7-6) took on No. 3 Booker T. Washington (20-2, 12-1) Tuesday night at Nathan E. Harris Field House, and the Hornets picked up their sixth-straight conference win 59-49, despite a double-digit comeback effort from the Sandites.

The first half looked far different from your typical Sand Springs basketball game. Sophomore star Journey Armstead drew two fouls early in the first quarter and spent most of the half on the bench while Raegan Padilla led the team with nine points.

The Hornets snagged six offensive rebounds and four steals in the first period, while the Sandites had none of either, for a 20-13 lead. In both quarters the Sandites played close til the final minutes, then the Hornets ended the periods with exclamation marks. 

Jade Shrum gave Sand Springs their only lead of the night with a three-pointer at 3-2. Bayleigh Cheney hit another three to cut their deficit to 16-13 before Aunisty Smith and Emmary Williams closed out the quarter. 

In the second period Sophia Regalado, Padilla, and Leyshia Morris scored buckets to cut the deficit to 24-20, but Smith and Wyvette Mayberry hit back to back threes for their first double-digit lead with 2:17 in the half. They hit the gas from there and closed on a four-point run to make it 37-23.

It looked like the home team would run away with it in the third quarter. Armstead scored a three to start the half, but the Hornets went on a nine-point run and took their biggest lead at 49-28. Then came the Sandite resurgence. Armstead hit another three and Morris added two to end the third 51-35.

Sand Springs outscored their hosts 11-4 in the first three minutes of the final stanza to get back within single digits. Smith reclaimed the ten-point lead and Armstead took a hard spill at the 2:19 mark and didn’t re-enter the game. The impressive comeback effort came up short as the Hornets played keep-away in the final minutes.

Armstead led all scorers with 21 points, 19 of which came in the second half. Padilla scored 10 and eight Sandites made their way into the score book. Smith led the Hornets with 20 points, followed by Mayberry with 15.

Sand Springs basketball will return to action Friday at 6:30 p.m. with their final home game of the season against Broken Arrow (9-12, 5-8). They previously beat the Tigers 80-78 on the road. The Hornets will play a de facto Frontier Valley Conference title game at No. 7 Sapulpa (19-3, 12-1) Friday at 6:30 p.m. They previously beat the Chieftains 52-46, but Sapulpa can force a tie for the title with a payback win.
