The Lady Sandites have made two double-digit comeback wins this season, but they weren’t able to do it against the undefeated No. 1 team in Class 6A. Booker T. Washington (11-0, 5-0) rolled to a dominant 65-39 Frontier Valley Conference win over No. 10 Charles Page High School (9-3, 2-2) Tuesday night at the Ed Dubie Field House, despite a game-best 21-point effort from Sandite sophomore Journey Armstead.

The Sandites played aggressive defense throughout the first half and severely limited the Hornets in the first quarter. Armstead scored six points for a 6-5 lead before Wynette Mayberry went on a seven point run to end the period. 

Washington rode that momentum to their first double-digit lead at 21-10 after a three from Carrigan Hill and two layups from Aunisty Smith. Armstead scored her team’s first ten points before Bayleigh Cheney put up a three, then Jade Shrum hit a free throw and Hailey Jackson and Sophia Regalado scored in the paint to end the half 34-18. 

By the end of the third-quarter the Hornets were up 51-29 and they took a 26-point lead with 4:55 left in the game. Armstead hit a two and Cheney rattled off three from the charity stripe to make it 59-39, then Washington ended on a six-point run against the Sandite third-string. 

Armstead led all scorers, closely followed by Mayberry with 20. Smith was the only other player to score in double-digits, putting up 12. Both teams had eight players on the scoreboard, and Jackson had a career-high 18 rebounds. 

Washington will return to action next Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with a conference home game against Owasso (3-9, 1-2). Sand Springs will travel to Broken Arrow (6-5, 2-1) Friday at 6:30 p.m.
