CPHS Basketball: Girls season rewind, final stats

The Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team made the most of a rebuilding year, going 15-8 overall and 8-6 for fifth place in Frontier Valley Conference action. They won the Bishop Kelley Invitational and were runners-up at the Enid Holiday Classic, but saw their post-season cut short with a first round Regional knockout.

The Sandites had a lot of new faces on the court after graduating four starters, all of which went on to play collegiate sports, three at the NCAA Division 1 level. They also got a new head coach in former Muskogee boys’ leader Josh Berry, and two new assistant coaches in Jordan Evans and Terence Buckley.

This year’s team was junior heavy with only three seniors and a mess of talented underclassmen. They will lose Madison Burris, Jade Shrum, and McKenzie Harris, but will return three starters in Journey Armstead, Raegan Padilla, and Hailey Jackson.

Armstead, a sophomore East Central move-in, was the MVP of the season, accounting for 32% of the team’s points. She averaged 18.6 points per game and was the only Lady Sandite to average in double digits. Her remarkable average ranks her ahead of NCAA division 1 athletes like Sydney Pennington (17.2) and Destiny Johnson (16.6)’s best seasons, and even ahead of Holly Kersgieter’s sophomore and junior years.

5’11” freshman Hailey Jackson provided much-needed height for a team that was usually outsized, leading the Sandites in both offensive and defensive rebounds, and she was second in blocks.

Coach Berry was able to draw on his entire bench throughout the season, with seventeen players seeing varsity action. Twelve Sandites played in at least ten games this year and everyone played at least six.

As always, the Sandites will get a talented class of incoming freshmen to bolster their ranks. This year’s eighth grade team made it to the semifinals of the Frontier Valley Conference tournament. They will also pick up some height and athleticism from Layne Kirkendoll, who was stuck on the JV team this year due to transfer ineligibility.

CPHS Basketball: Eric Savage earns 100th win at Sand Springs, surpasses 400 in career

View fullsize

When Eric Savage was hired as Charles Page High School’s new Head Boys Basketball Coach in 2013, he was arguably the most elite hire in the history of the school, fresh off his third State Championship win at Tulsa Memorial. In his twelve seasons at Memorial he led them to four finals appearances and a 305-93 record.

At Sand Springs he had a tough task ahead, inheriting a program that went 1-21 the prior year and hadn’t had a winning season in over a decade. In his first year he took them to eight wins, which was as many as the previous three seasons combined. By year two they were 12-12 with a winning regular season record, and in year three they were 14-10.

After a slight hiccup in 2016-2017 in which they went 12-14, they bounced back with a 19-8 effort the next year and their first State Tournament appearance in 50 years. Last year they went 17-9 overall and 9-5 in the Frontier Valley Conference for the second straight season.

Savage’s Sandites have won two Regional Championships, an Area Consolation Championship, two regular season tournaments, and they’ve gone undefeated four times at the Memorial Invitational festival.

2019-2020 has been a big year for the Sandites, as Savage led his team to wins over No. 6 Union, No. 3 Jenks and No. 2 Booker T. Washington. The Union and Washington wins were his first against those elite programs since he arrived at CPHS. On January 31st he earned his 400th career victory and 95th at Sand Springs in a 64-49 conference win over Bixby.

Last Friday Savage earned his 100th Sand Springs win and 405th overall against No. 11 Broken Arrow, avenging two regular season losses to earn back-to-back Regional titles for the first time in school history.

The Sandites are on pace for a potentially historic season, and the next stop will be at Catoosa High School on Friday when they get a rematch with No. 1 Booker T. Washington (19-5) at 6:30 p.m. in the Area Championship.

A win will advance them to the State Tournament for the second time in three years, and a loss will send them to the Area Consolation Championship where they will take on either No. 13 Putnam City North (14-9) or No. 18 Owasso (12-13) with a State berth on the line. The Consolation finals will also be played at Catoosa, Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Catoosa High School is located at 2000 South Cherokee Street.

CPHS Baseball: Sandites win 8-6 rematch with Edmond Memorial

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team picked up the first win of the Matt Brown era Tuesday night in Edmond, beating Memorial High School 8-6 to pay back Monday’s 6-3 loss. Both teams are now 1-1 overall and 1-1 in district action.

On Monday the Sandites took 3-0 lead against the Bulldogs before giving up six unanswered runs. They made up for it on the road, scoring five runs in the first inning. Memorial responded with four one-run innings, but the Sandites rallied and outscored the Bulldogs 3-2 in the sixth.

Sand Springs loaded the bases right out of the gate with an error and two walks, then Kiefer Massey tripled to bring in Brycen Peterman, Ty Pennington, and Kaden Young. Massey scored on a ground out from Jacob Shields, then Kaegan Murray hit a sacrifice fly to score Keaton Campbell, who was walked.

Hayden Blair also hit a triple in the first, but was stranded after Jake Coleman was relieved on the mound by Hunter Lenochan, who limited the Sandite offense and only gave up four hits, one run, and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings.

Northeastern State University-committed senior Tatum Watie (1-0) got the start and the win on the mound, throwing four hits, four walks, and five strikeouts in four innings. Two of those singles came in the first inning, and Noah Kang scored on a passed ball to get the Bulldogs on the board.

Aaron Weber hit a triple for Edmond in the second inning and scored on an error at third. Weston Hicks was hit by pitch in the fourth and courtesy runner Major Kerr took third on an error and scored on a wild pitch to make it 5-3.

Pennington drew a walk in the fifth but was put out on a double play, then Massey and Campbell both hit singles, but Massey was caught advancing to home. A walk and an error set up Trace Evans for a sacrifice fly that scored Peyton Medeiros.

The Sandites got back to scoring in the sixth. Murray singled and Gabe Glenn walked, prompting Memorial to change pitchers once again. Evans took over on the mound and gave up a single to Peterman, but Murray was caught advancing to home. Pennington drew another walk, and Ethan Sartin came up with a clutch 3RBI double.

Memorial also rallied in the sixth with their most productive inning. Watie threw two strikeouts, but also hit two batters with the pitch and gave up a 2RBI single to Lenochan. Sebastian Cassidy (0-1, 4-4) took over and ended the inning with a strikeout. Cassidy threw one walk and three strikeouts in the bottom of the seventh to save the game.

Sandite baseball will return to action Friday at 6:00 p.m. with a non-district home game against Shawnee (2-0). Edmond Memorial will will host Westmoore Thursday at 5:00 p.m. in the Jaguars’ season opener.

CPHS Baseball: Sandites drop season opener 6-3 to Edmond Memorial

The Charles Page High School baseball team jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first two innings of their season opener against Edmond Memorial, but the Bulldogs tied it up in the third and scored three more runs in the top of the seventh for the 6-3 comeback district win.

The game was fairly evenly matched. Sand Springs had seven hits to Edmond’s six. The Sandites benefited from nine walks, but gave up eight. Both teams committed three errors.

Jaxon Skaggs (0-0, 3-2) got the start on the mound and tossed five hits, eight strikeouts, and five walks in six innings. He gave up two walks and a single in the first inning to load the bases, but Jacob Shields caught a line drive to right field to save the inning.

Brycen Peterman hit a leadoff single for the Sandites, and Keaton Campbell brought in Peterman and Gabe Glenn on a double. Shields hit a double in the second inning and scored the Sandites’ final run on an error.

Edmond scored three runs on three walks and three singles in the third. The Sandites had zero difficulty in getting on base, but couldn’t get anyone back home. They stranded two in the third, three in the fourth, two in the fifth, and one in the sixth. Skaggs was extremely productive on the mound, striking out the side in the fifth.

Sebastian Cassidy (0-1, 4-4) took over in the seventh inning and received the loss, throwing one hit, two strikeouts, and three walks. An error from Peterman and three straight walks gave the Bulldogs the lead, and Aaron Weber hit a 2RBI single for the final runs of the game.

Cassity finished strong with back-to-back strikeouts to end the inning, but Noah Kang tossed three strikeouts in the bottom of the inning, stranding Kaegan Murray and Shields, who were walked.

The Sandites will travel to Edmond Memorial Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. for a rematch. The Bulldog baseball field is located at 1001 South Rankin Street in Edmond.
