CPHS Basketball: Sandites throttle NW Arkansas 80-39, five score double digits

The Northwest Arkansas Hornets (1-6) were barely even a blip on the Sandites’ radar Saturday morning at the Tulsa Memorial Veterans Arena Invitational, as the undefeated Class 6A No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team (5-0) rolled to a lopsided 80-39 win, despite giving the backups more minutes than the starters. It marked the fourth time in the past five years that the Sandites have gone undefeated at the festival-style event.

The team was without Cason Savage and Daren Hawkins, and Costen Brockman picked up his first varsity start. The entire Sandite bench saw action, and the backups outscored the starters 49-31. Most of the Sandites logged minutes in the first half after they jumped out to a 16-8 first quarter lead, then scored 24-straight through the second and went into the locker room with a 46-12 advantage.

Sand Springs used a 13-point run in the fourth for its biggest lead of the game at 80-36 before giving up three in the final minute.

Arkansas’s Nick Kirkman led all scorers with 15 points, and Trevor Altemeier had 10 for the Hornets. Marlo Fox’s 13 points were his lowest output of the season, but it was enough to lead the Sandites for the fifth-straight game. Cale Askew was the tenth player off the bench, but he put up 12 points, followed by Davon Richardson, Jason Clark, and Trevor Stone with 10 apiece. Fourteen Sandites saw action and eleven made their way onto the scoreboard.

Sand Springs will return to action Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. with a Frontier Valley Conference road game against No. 17 Owasso (0-1). The Hornets will travel to Ozark Adventist (1-1) Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

CPHS Basketball: Undefeated Sandites beat HFC Warriors 69-50, Fox scores 27

The Class 6A No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School boys basketball team (4-0) continued their undefeated start to the season with a 69-50 win over the Hoops For Christ Warriors (6-5) Friday evening at the Tulsa Memorial Veterans Arena Invitational.

The Sandites are 13-1 over the past five years at the festival and are looking for their fourth undefeated record in that time span. They will play their final game Saturday at 11:00 a.m. against the Northwest Arkansas Hornets.

The Sandites jumped out to an early lead with a 15-5 first quarter and coasted to an easy win behind a 27-point career-high performance from junior standout Marlo Fox, who has led his team in all four games this season. University of Central Oklahoma-committed senior Davon Richardson put up 15 points as the only other Sandite in double digits, but seven players made their way into the scorebook.

HFC won the second quarter 20-17 to make it 32-25 at halftime, but the Sandites hit the gas and led by double digits for most of the second half. Jaeden Hurd scored 9, Josh Minney had 8, Daren Hawkins and Cason Savage scored 6 each, and Cale Askew added two in his varsity debut.

Traejon Davis paced the Warriors with 17 points, aided by Khiry Montgomery with 11 and Darius Dobbins with 10. Dmarius Dobbins and Tadrian Davis added 6 apiece.

HFC will play the Collinsville Cardinals Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

CPHS Basketball: Sandites whip Wichita 64-48, Fox scores 17

Coming off a huge conference upset of Union, the Class 6A No. 12 ranked Charles Page High School boys’ basketball team (3-0) rode that momentum into a mostly easy win against the Wichita Defenders (3-3) Thursday night in the first round of the Memorial Veterans Arena Invitational.

Jaeden Hurd and Marlo Fox kicked off the night with a pair of twos, and the Sandites never trailed. Hurd, Fox, Cason Savage, and Josh Minney combined for an 11-point run and 15-2 advantage before the Defenders finally found some rhythm.

The two teams kept pace with each other from there, and Sand Springs only led 21-11 after the first quarter and 37-25 at the half. Davon Richardson picked up a technical foul late in the second, setting up David Brown for a pair of free throws to cut it to 34-25, but Daren Hawkins hit a three just seconds before the buzzer to reclaim the double-digit advantage.

Wichita won the third quarter 12-8 and only trailed by six early in the fourth quarter before Sand Springs hit the gas and scored ten-straight. The Sandites won the fourth 19-11 for a comfortable 16-point win.

Wichita’s Jonah Wolters led all scorers with 19 points, closely followed by Fox with 17. Minney and Hawkins both scored 12 for the Sandites, while Kip Ammons tallied 10 for the Defenders.

Sand Springs will play the Hoops For Christ (HFC) Warriors (6-4) Friday at 5:30 p.m., while Wichita will play 5A No. 10 Collinsville (2-1) at 7:00 p.m. The festival-style invitational is not bracketed, and no first-place trophy is awarded.
