The Tigers lost their first two meetings 80-78 and 69-67, most recently blowing a ten-point fourth quarter lead in the regular season finale. They made up for it with an 86-81 overtime upset in the game that mattered most, ending the season for the Sandites and extended their own season by at least two games.

The first quarter looked like it could be shaping up for a blowout as six Sandites combined for a 6-of-9 three-point performance and a 20-12 lead. Journey Armstead, Jade Shrum, Madison Burris, Darrian Jordan, Leyshia Morris, and Bayleigh Cheney all hit threes in the quarter. The Sandites also committed a mess of fouls, but Broken Arrow struggled at the free throw line and missed six shots. 

Anyone who saw the first two meetings between these teams knew that the Tigers would not go quietly. They won the second quarter 17-16 and used a nine-point streak in the middle of the quarter to take a 29-26 lead before the Sandites got back to scoring.

Armstead went 4-for-4 at the charity stripe to kick off the comeback, then Morris hit the first three of the quarter at the 1:00 mark to regain the lead. The Sandites forced turnovers on the next two possessions, leading to a three from Burris and a two from Jordan to end the half on a ten-point run at 36-29. 

The Tigers played their best quarter in the third, winning 23-14. The score saw five lead changes, with Broken Arrow finishing 52-50 after a clutch three from Kelsey Duffey. 

Burris hit her third three to kick off the fourth with a nine-point run, but Jada Hytche went on an eight-point run all by herself. Hytche gave her team their biggest lead of the game at 68-63, but Sand Springs battled back and Hailey Jackson hit the game-tying free throw with 3.4 seconds left to force overtime.

Duffey hit a three to open the extra period and the Tigers never trailed from then on.

Taleyah Jones led all scorers with 36 points, and four Tigers scored in double digits. Hytche posted 17, Duffey added 15, and Makayla Adams had 12.

Sand Springs had a more balanced team effort, led by Armstead with 25 points and 8 rebounds. Jackson scored 16 points with 6 rebounds as the only other Sandite in the double.

Broken Arrow will return to action Saturday at 1:30 p.m. against the winner of Muskogee vs. Union. Both teams will advance to the Area playoff.

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.

Inkwell Printing doesn’t just do shirts, they provide unbeatable quality and designs when it comes to custom apparel, sports uniforms and even banners, promotional products (Mugs, business cards and more), and print design.

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.

Armstead was first on the board with a three-pointer, then Jackson made it 5-2 before Baylor Franz scored through a foul and tied it up with the and-one. Jade Shrum hit the next deep ball, then Armstead hit two from the charity stripe to double the Bulldogs.

Memorial came storming back, however, scoring fourteen unanswered points for a 19-12 lead early in the second period. Shrum and Bayleigh Cheney hit back-to-back threes to make it a one-point game, but foul trouble allowed the Bulldogs to maintain a 25-20 advantage at the half. The Sandites committed 15 fouls in the first half to the Bulldogs’ six.

Madison Burris kicked off the second half with a three, but Memorial maintained its lead and even pushed it as far as 34-27 before Jackson hit back-to-back twos and Cheney hit a three to tie it at 34-34.

Burris gave the Sandites their first lead since the first period, early in the fourth at 37-36, but Cayren Davis soon retaliated. Armstead tied it with a free throw, then took the lead with a two before Lexi Hensley and Franz scored back-to-back to make it 42-40. The Sandites would not lead again.

Sand Springs will return to action January 4th at 6:30 p.m. with a non-conference road game at No. 18 Ponca City (8-2), who they previously defeated 62-47 in the season opener. Memorial will travel to No. 4 Norman (7-1) for a conference battle January 7th at 6:00 p.m.

Sophomore Journey Armstead led all scorers with 16 points, followed by freshman Hailey Jackson with a career-high 14 points and a career-high 12 rebounds for her first double-double. Jade Shrum put up 11 and Madison Burris had 10 to put four Sandites in double digits.

The Sandites scored the first eight points of the game before the Defenders rallied back with eight of their own. Green Country never led in the game, but tied it three times in the first quarter before the Sandites went on a nine-point run for a 20-11 lead.

Jackson and Shrum rattled off five-straight to start the second period and took their first double-digit lead at 25-15. The second period saw the Sandites’ best defensive effort, only giving up seven points for a 36-22 locker room advantage.

The third and fourth periods were fairly even, but the Sandites won both despite playing mostly backups. All fifteen available Sandites saw extensive action and nine made their way into the score book. Raegan Padilla remained absent due to illness.

Emily Prather paced the Defenders with 15 points, followed by Kana Rackley with 11 and Ashley Phelan with 10.

CPHS Basketball: Girls beat Grant 87-8, biggest win of the decade - presented by Inkwell Printing

/

The Class 6A No. 11 ranked Charles Page High School girls’ basketball team (6-1) was short one starter Thursday afternoon at the Stride Bank Center, but it didn’t matter. Raegan Padilla sat on the bench, sick, but the rest of the starters joined her just a few minutes into the game. Sand Springs rolled to an 87-8 win against U.S. Grant (1-4) in the first round of the Enid Holiday Classic, and all but one player scored.

The Sandites wasted no time, with Hailey Jackson rebounding for two, and Journey Armstead putting back three straight two-point baskets in the first 90 seconds. McKayla Ahboah got the Lady Generals on the board with a free throw, but Jade Shrum sank a three and Jackson scored three-straight twos to make it 16-1. With 3:56 remaining in the first quarter, Coach Joshua Berry benched his starters.

The second string pushed the Sandites to a 27-1 advantage with baskets from Jentry Hughes, Bayleigh Cheney, and McKenzie Harris. The starters rejoined the game in the second period, but for less than two minutes.

Sand Springs scored 38-straight points before Karla Zuniga made the Generals’ first field goal, and ended the second quarter up 57-3. All fifteen eligible/healthy players saw action in the half, and Abby Hughes, Darrian Jordan, Fayth Walker, and Avery Tanner scored buckets late in the second period.

The second half saw a running clock on both substitutions and throw-ins, only stopping for timeouts, preventing the Sandites from matching their 109-39 offensive performance against Muskogee last season. They did, however, make their best defensive effort since at least 2007 (as far back as Sandite Pride records go), with their largest point-differential of that era.

Armstead led all scorers with 17 points, and was the only player in double-digits. Thirteen Sandites scored more than Grant’s leading scorer, Yohanna Hall, who hit a three in the third quarter.

Sand Springs will return to action Friday at 6:30 p.m. against the winner of Green Country (4-2) vs. Enid (2-6). Grant will play the loser of that game at 12:30 p.m.

Boys’ Preview

The Class 6A No. 6 ranked Sand Springs boys are still undefeated this season at 6-0, coming off a 59-46 win at Owasso. They will kick off the tournament at 11:00 a.m. Thursday against the Green Country Defenders (5-3). The only mutual opponent between the two teams is the Hoops For Christ Warriors. Sand Springs defeated HFC 69-50, while HFC beat Green Country 77-53.

If the Sandites win their first game they will play Friday at 5:00 p.m., and if they lose they’ll play at 11:00 a.m. Their second-round foe will either be the Oklahoma City Storm (13-5), or a rematch with HFC. Despite only being a homeschool team, OKC has notched wins against several large public schools, including Norman, 6A No. 19 Mustang, and 5A No. 18 Guthrie. They are riding a five-game win streak. HFC has won their last three games since falling to Sand Springs, including a dominant 70-46 win over 5A No. 10 Collinsville.

On the opposite side of the bracket are four unranked 6A teams.

U.S. Grant (2-6) vs. Bixby (2-4). Statistically speaking, Grant is the worst team in 6A, with their average game being a 14.9 point defeat. Grant’s only mutual opponent with CPHS is HFC, who they lost to 58-38. Bixby allows the second-most points in 6A, and their only mutual opponent with CPHS is Union. The Sandites beat Union 75-74, while Union beat Bixby 90-61.

Enid has won three-straight games, and is coming off a fifth-place performance at Woodward. They do not have any mutual opponents with the Sandites.

Girls’ Preview

The Class 6A No. 11 ranked Sand Springs girls are 5-1 on the season, riding a four-game win streak that includes a Bishop Kelley Invitational Championship. Most recently they beat Owasso 62-45. They will play U.S. Grant (1-3) Thursday at 3:30 p.m. The two don’t have any mutual opponents, but Grant has the worst-ranked offense in 6A and their average game ends in a 27.5 point loss. The Sandites will be without Raegan Padilla for at least the first two games. She has been fighting sickness for weeks.

On Friday they will play at 12:30 p.m. following a loss, or 6:30 p.m. following a win. Their opponent will either be Enid (2-6) or Green Country (4-2). Enid went 0-3 at the Woodward tournament, but is coming off a 47-16 win over Grant. Green Country is coming off a 53-29 loss to NOAH.

On the other end of the bracket is 6A No. 12 ranked Edmond Memorial (4-3) vs. HFC (2-3). Sand Springs and Memorial are 16th and 17th, respectively, in 6A offense, and 11th and 13th in defense, making for a close match-up on both fronts. Edmond is coming off a 45-42 win over No. 20 Westmoore. HFC is coming off a 34-22 loss to NOAH.

The fourth quarterfinal pits Lawton (1-4) vs. OKC Storm (8-7). The Sandites and Storm have no mutual opponents, but OKC does have a 6A win against Enid. Lawton is riding back-to-back losses, including a 72-27 beatdown by Ponca City, who the Sandites bested 62-47 in the season opener.

Sand Springs won three-straight Bishop Kelley titles from 2015-2017, then took third place in 2018 before reclaiming the throne this year behind a 25-point performance from sophomore Journey Armstead. Armstead was named All-Tournament MVP, and Madison Burris also made the All-Tournament team.

Hailey Jackson was first on the board, rebounding a shot from Armstead. Armstead hit a pair from the charity stripe, then Raegan Padilla took a steal coast to coast for a 6-0 lead. The Trojans wouldn’t be stymied for long, as Trinity Jackson broke up the Sandites’ run, and Makenna Burch scored a layup and a free throw for the lead.

Sand Springs broke up the nine-point run with a pair of free throws from Jade Shrum, then Armstead closed out the period with a layup and two free throws for the 12-11 lead.

Jenks briefly took the lead early in the second period at 16-14, but the Sandites went on an 11-2 run for a comfortable 25-18 halftime advantage.

Trinity Jackson scored the first points of the second half, but Sand Springs rattled off ten-straight for a 35-20 advantage with baskets from Hailey Jackson, Armstead, Burris, and Padilla. The Trojans went on a streak of their own to cut it to 35-29, but Armstead got the final say of the quarter.

Burch swished a three to kick off the final stanza, but Sophia Regalado rebounded a missed free throw for two, and Padilla hoofed a steal down to Armstead for two more. Armstead stayed hot with a free throw and another layup to reclaim the double digit advantage.

Burch hit a three to make it 51-41 with a minute to play, but the Sandites ran out the clock, Shrum added a free throw, and Jackson made an easy to end the night.
