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.

Armstead led all scorers with 25, closely followed by Burch with 20. Hailey Jackson was the only other player in double digits, scoring 10.

Sand Springs will return to action Tuesday at Owasso (2-2), while Jenks will travel to No. 19 Bartlesville (3-2) next Friday. The Sandites and Trojans will meet again on January 7th in the first of two Frontier Valley Conference battles.
