Lady Sandites take first loss, place third at Jenks/Union Invitational

This story was originally written by Scott Emigh for the Sand Springs Leader.

All good things come to an end eventually, as did the Lady Sandites’ undefeated start to the season Friday afternoon at the Frank Herald Field House. 

After winning 11 consecutive games, the Class 6A No. 6 Charles Page High School girls basketball team (12-1) fell 56-32 to No. 1 Edmond North (15-0) in the Jenks/Union Invitational semifinals.

Sand Springs bounced back in the third-place battle with No. 16 Putnam City North (6-7), however, and dominated the Panthers defensively to win 50-33.

“(Edmond North) is probably the best team right now in 6A, so it’s a good thing that we got to see them,” said Sand Springs coach Josh Berry. 

“I was just proud that they kept fighting, they didn’t just lay down after a bad start,” said Berry. “The only thing from here is to get back in the gym and work and put in the time and see what we can do from here on.”

Journey Armstead led the Sandites with 14 points against the top-ranked Huskies, but was the only Sandite in double digits. She also scored 22 points in the quarterfinals against Jenks and was named to the All-Tournament team following Saturday’s game.

Hailey Jackson led the Sandites against the Panthers with 12 points and 8 rebounds, followed by Layne Kirkendoll with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Armstead was held to 9 points for her lowest tally of the season.

“Layne is a special talent,” said Berry. “She’s getting better and better, she’s getting healthier. The healthier she gets, I think you’ll see a lot more of those double-doubles from her.”

Sand Springs never trailed after the early first quarter and held Putnam North to only five points in both the second and fourth quarters, but the Panthers still threatened at 37-28 going into the fourth.

Failing to put away free throws proved to be the biggest struggle for the Sandites, who shot well from the field, but only went 7-of-19 at the charity stripe.

“After three days playing back to back to back, we’ll take a win, “said Berry. “We know what we’ve got to work on. We’ve got a lot of work to do between now and Tuesday.”

The Sandites will be traveling to No. 4 Bixby (11-3 overall, 4-1 conference) Tuesday as they aim to improve to 6-0 in Frontier Valley Conference action. Things won’t get any easier from there, as they’ll host 5A No. 2 Sapulpa (9-4, 2-2) on Friday and No. 5 Union (10-3, 4-1) the following Tuesday.

Sandite Sports Weekly Roundup: Softball Rolls at Bixby Tournament

Down 5-4 and riding a four-game losing streak, the Sandites needed a spark in the first round of the Bixby tournament Friday morning.

JoLee McNally stepped up to the plate with two runners on and smacked a ground ball single to center field in the top of the sixth, bringing in Morgan Rector and Kinzie King to kick off a great weekend for the Charles Page High School softball team (9-7).

After taking down Newcastle 6-5, the Sandites got a huge 5-4 upset against title contender Edmond Memorial then steamrolled Union 17-2 and El Reno 11-2 before falling 4-1 to Broken Arrow in the final game. 

“They had an awesome weekend, I thought,” said head coach Shelli Brown. “The turnaround from Bartlesville where we left a lot of runner-on-base opportunities, I felt like this weekend they were able to get the runners on and push them across the plate. That was the difference.”

Prior to the tournament, the Sandites had a rough stretch of district road games at Stillwater, Jenks, Bixby, and Bartlesville. 

Thursday was a tough loss, as the Sandites had previously beaten Bartlesville 12-3 at home, and led 5-0 early before the Bruins surged back with seven runs in the bottom of the third.

Friday’s win over Edmond Memorial (19-4), however, showed that this team is still capable of beating anyone in the state on any given day. 

The Bulldogs took a 4-2 lead in the third inning, but the Sandites rallied in the bottom with RBI doubles from Lauren Hammock and Nataley Crawford, and Kelsi Hilton scored on a passed ball for the lead.

Crawford got the wins in the pitching circle against Edmond and Newcastle, Hilton got the win against Union, and Addie Hughes got the win against El Reno.

“Team effort for sure on the pitching,” said Brown. ”We’ve been kind of double-teaming, so I thought our pitchers did a really good job with that.”

The team’s bats also came alive during the tournament, with McNally, Hammock, Hilton, and Crawford all hitting over .500. McNally scored eight runs and four RBI and Hammock had seven runs and seven RBI over the five games.

“I’m just happy with them,” said Brown. “I told them let’s keep moving forward. I felt like we’ve made the turn a little bit here.”

The Sandites are currently 3-4 in district action, sitting fifth in the standings. They’ll be heavily favored in four of their remaining seven district games, and they’ll have home-field advantage in their rematches with Jenks, Stillwater, and Bixby.

The Sandites have hosted Regionals seven consecutive years but that streak could be in jeopardy if they don’t finish strong in district action.

“We need to focus one game at a time, win those games, and get ourselves in a good situation,” says Brown. “Whether we host or we go travel, we’re going to have to play good teams, and we’ve just got to be ready. I think it’s going to be about timing - peaking at the right time. We’re starting to get everybody back, starting to get everybody healthy, and starting to have that team chemistry that takes some time to develop.”

“I’ve seen both districts. Whether you host or you travel, you’re going to face some really good teams so I just want us to be ready for that.”

Cross Country

Sandite Cross Country traveled to the Sapulpa Chieftain meet on Saturday, September 4th.

Chloe Grona led the elementary girls to a second place finish in the one-mile, finishing in 5:54 for first place, a full 21 seconds ahead of the runner-up, and Josie Grona placed third in 6:23.

The elementary boys placed eighth, led by Canyon Carnahan in 25th place with a time of 7:26.

Junior high boys placed fifth in the one-mile, led by Taigh Wright in 11th with a time of 5:51.21. Junior high girls didn’t have a full team, but Maddyx Hampton placed 18th in 6:38.

The varsity girls didn’t have a full team, but Jazmin Lopez placed fifth in the two-mile run with a time of 13:57.

The varsity boys finished sixth, led by Alejandro Lopez in 11:52 for 25th place, and Dalton Wilcox in 11:55 for 26th.

On Saturday, September 11th, the high school and junior high teams traveled to Broken Arrow. The junior high boys placed sixth in the 1.5 mile run, but were the only team with a full lineup. 

Lopez led the varsity girls in 26th place with a 5K time of 22:22. Noah Hanlon led the boys in 18:56 for 42nd place. Hampton led the junior high girls with a 12:01 1.5-mile run for 33rd, and Wright led the junior high boys in 9:52 for 13th.

Football

The Class 6A-II No. 5 ranked Sandite football team (2-0) will look to remain undefeated when they travel to Arkansas 3A No. 1 Shiloh Christian (2-0). Both teams will be well-rested after bye weeks.

Last year Sand Springs hosted the first-ever meeting of the two teams and topped the Saints 27-26. It would be Shiloh’s only loss of the season as they went on to earn their eighth State Championship.

Volleyball

Class 6A No. 15 ranked Sand Springs (7-11) is riding a tough nine-match losing streak after traveling to the prestigious Heather Harkness Invitational in Edmond, one of the toughest tournaments in the state.

Sandite Volleyball fell 2-0 to No. 6 Deer Creek, 2-0 to No. 4 Edmond Memorial, 2-0 to OKC Storm, 3-2 to No. 10 Edmond North, and 3-0 to No. 16 Moore. 

Sand Springs will compete at the Owasso tournament this weekend with pool matches against Owasso, Edmond Memorial, and Ponca City.

CPHS Wrestling: Sandites miss out on Dual State but roll Union 50-22 in season finale

The Charles Page High School wrestling team wrapped up a disappointing dual season with a 4-6 record last week, but finished on a high note with a 50-22 drubbing of Class 6A No. 7 ranked Union (5-3).

The Sandites are unranked and will be missing from the Dual State tournament for the first time since 2015 after failing to win their district. They rolled to a 63-15 win against Muskogee (2-4) but split the matches 7-7 against Ponca City (3-0), who won 37-33 on bonus points.

The Sandites struggled with an unusually tough schedule this season in which they took on almost exclusively top-tier opponents. Their losses came to now-No. 5 Stillwater, No. 4 Bixby, No. 3 Edmond North, No. 2 Mustang, and 5A No. 1 Collinsville. Although Ponca City is unranked, that can primarily be attributed to a late start on the season, with only one dual prior to districts. The teams Sand Springs lost to have a combined record of 51-4.

Sapulpa (3-3), who hasn’t beaten the Sandites since 2013, canceled their district appearances due to COVID-19, and the Sandites also missed out on the Owasso Ram Duals where they usually pick up a handful of wins.

On the 19th the Sandites traveled to Mustang for a three-way meet against Mustang (18-2) and Edmond North (13-0). They were severely shorthanded and had to forfeit three weight classes in each dual.

Mitchell Smith, Blake Jones, and Sango Whitehorn all recorded pins in a 51-22 loss to Edmond North, and Brooks Dudley got a 14-0 major decision. Jones and Whitehorn also got pins against Mustang, while Shane Wolf and Smith earned decisions in the 54-24 loss.

In Tuesday’s dual against Muskogee they received five forfeits and went 6-3 in the remaining matches with pins from Harley Newberry, Ethan Norton, Chase White, Mason Harris, and Zander Grigsby.

The dual against Ponca was an even 7-7 split but the Wildcats earned five pins to the Sandites’ four. Four of Ponca’s falls came in the first six matches as the home team stormed out to a 24-6 lead. Blake Jones evened it up a bit with a pin at 160, but returning State Qualifiers Gabe Roland and Landon Newlin made it 34-12.

Whitehorn, Dudley, and Harris kept the team alive with three straight falls, but Chris Kiser clinched the Wildcat win with a 7-3 decision at 106 pounds. Wolf, Jesse Moore, and Ethan Norton all won decisions for the Sandites.

Sand Springs was firing on all cylinders in their Homecoming dual against Union, earning six pins and a technical fall. Union won only four matches, all of which came at the hands of returning State Qualifiers, and they never led.

Wolf earned a 17-2 third-period technical fall at 113 but a pin from Riley Trickett at 132 pulled the Redskins as close as 11-10. Ethan Norton won a 6-3 decision, and the next eight matches were all decided by pin. Noah Smith and Gavin Koehler got the bonus points for Union, while Smith, Jones, White, Whitehorn, Dudley, and Harris powered to the win.

The last time the Sandites finished the year without a winning record was a 6-6 performance in the 2005-2006 season. They haven’t had a losing record since at least 1986, which is as far back as Sandite Pride’s records go. Sandite fans can rest assured things will likely get back to normal next year when quarantines and COVID-19 are (hopefully) no longer a factor.

CPHS Basketball: Girls place sixth at loaded Bixby Tournament

View fullsize

In a tournament so loaded that the defending 5A State Champions only finished in seventh place, the Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team settled for sixth after going 1-2 this past weekend. Their two losses came to perennial Edmond powerhouses, and they won a consolation semifinal game against 5A No. 2 Piedmont.

On Thursday the girls were victimized by unfortunate seeding as they had to take on 6A No. 3 Edmond North (6-0), the defending tournament champions. Journey Armstead scored 14 points in the 47-29 loss, but was the only Lady Sandite in double digits. Laci Steele scored 20 for the Huskies, who won the battle at the boards and came away with more turnovers.

In consolation Sand Springs won 46-37 against the defending 5A champions from Piedmont (1-3) behind a 21-point effort from Armstead, and Darrian Jordan added another 11. The Sandites led 10-3 after the first quarter and 22-20 at the half. Armstead and Hailey Jackson had seven-rebounds apiece and Armstead added a team-best four assists.

On Saturday the girls came back from a 10-6 deficit in the first quarter to lead 21-15 at halftime and 30-28 late in the third against No. 16 Edmond Memorial (3-3). Lexi Hensley tied it up late in the third and Baylor Franz went three-for-three at the charity stripe after taking a foul on the buzzer-shot.

The Sandites never reclaimed the lead but were competitive throughout the final stanza and fell 46-41. Franz led all scorers with 21 points, and was the only Bulldog in double digits. Armstead led Sand Springs once again, this time with 15 points. 6’2” starter Layne Kirkendoll was unavailable for the tournament and the Bulldogs used their height advantage to out-rebound the Sandites 30 to 16.

The Lady Sandites (3-2) dropped from 9th to 12th in the Class 6A coaches’ poll on Monday. They are 1-0 in Frontier Valley Conference play and will look to remain undefeated when they travel to unranked Muskogee (1-3, 0-1) Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. for their last game of 2020. The girls have won six-straight meetings with the Roughers, dating back to 2016.

The varsity boys will not travel with the Lady Sandites on Tuesday due to quarantine protocols following a positive COVID-19 test within the team.

CPHS Softball: Sandites improve to 6-0 with wins over Silo, Mustang, Edmond North

The Charles Page High School varsity softball team (6-0) continued its undefeated start to the season with a trio of tournament wins over Silo (3-2), Mustang (2-2), and Edmond North (2-7) this weekend at the Sandite Softball Complex. The games were part of the Broken Arrow Tournament, but were relocated to Sand Springs due to soggy fields at Arrowhead Park. 

The Sandites jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first Friday against Silo as Jaden Jordan hit her second home run of the season. Nobody scored again till the bottom of the fourth when the Rebels went off with three singles and a pair of sacrifices to take a 3-2 lead. 

Sand Springs tied it up in the top of the sixth with a run from Madison Lee and the game went into extra innings at 3-3. Because it was a tournament, the game went to international tie breaker in the eighth inning, and each team started their at-bats with a runner on second. 

Silo was in prime position after striking out the first two Sandites, but Raegan Rector drew a walk and Jordan and Aliyah Taff hit RBI singles for the 5-3 lead. Gracie Lawless scored Silo’s final run of the game on an error.

Taff (4-0, 21-14) got the win in the circle with seven hits and three strikeouts, while Christina Clark got the loss with six hits, three walks, and seven strikeouts. 

The game against Mustang was another close one at 3-2 on Friday. Cassie Passwaters hit a solo home run for the Broncos in the top of the first. Lee scored on an error to tie it, Rector scored on a passed ball, and Avery Tanner  batted in Jordan with an RBI single to make it 3-1. Passwaters batted in another run on a sacrifice in the sixth, but that would be the final score of the game. 

Nataley Crawford (2-0, 5-2) got the win with three hits, two strikeouts, and two walks. Kiera McGahee took the loss with four hits, two strikeouts, and two walks.

On Saturday the Sandites got their first shutout of the year 7-0 against Edmond North behind a two-hit, no-walk, five-strikeout pitching performance from Taff. Drew Hawkins was two-for-two at the plate with two runs, two RBI, and a double.

Sand Springs piled on five runs in the top of the first with singles from Lee and Rector, and doubles from Taff, Hawkins, and Olivia Alexander. In the top of the sixth Alexander had another double to score Tanner, and Hawkins scored on a ground hit from Crawford. Morgan Thomas took the loss for the Huskies with six hits, no walks, and two strikeouts.

Sandite softball will return to action Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. against Bristow (3-1) in the final game of the tournament.

OSSAA 6A Wrestling: Dual State Preview

For the first time in several years the OSSAA Dual State Wrestling Tournament won’t be held at Shawnee’s Firelake Arena. This year the event, which includes all four school size classifications, will be held at the Stride Bank Center in Enid.

Class 6A will compete at 2:00 p.m. Friday, February 14th with semifinals Saturday at 12:00 p.m. and finals at 6:30 p.m. The tournament is single-elimination with no consolation bracket. The quarterfinals will begin with the 145-pound weight class, with semifinals starting at 113 and finals at 120.

Sand Springs advanced to the tournament for the fifth-straight year with district wins of 52-27 against Sapulpa, 65-12 against Muskogee, and 45-28 against Ponca City.

The Sandites will have to start the event against the only undefeated team in 6A, No. 3 Choctaw (10-0). The Yellowjackets have made the finals four out of the past five years and have a long history of knocking the Sandites out of contention. Sand Springs is 1-6 against Choctaw at Dual State.

If Sand Springs pulls off the upset against the Yellowjackets, they will take on either Mustang or Stillwater. They beat Stillwater 36-31 in the season opener, and are 0-2 against Mustang this season with losses off 58-9 and 60-15. The Sandites are 26-6-1 against Stillwater since the invention of Dual State in 1989, though none of those duals were post-season. They are 0-3 against Mustang, including a dual state appearance in 2018.

On the other side of the bracket: Sand Springs is 9-20 against Broken Arrow in the Dual State era, and won their only Dual State title 36-28 against the Tigers in 2017. They are 1-1 against Edmond Memorial, 1-3 against Edmond North (with a 34-31 quarterfinal win last year, and 18-4 against Union (with a Dual State win in 2016).
