SAND SPRINGS — Consider the program ocially on the rails. Charles Page High School claimed its first win of the season Friday, blanking Bishop Kelley 35–0 in a performance that looked equal parts pent-up frustration and well-timed execution.
The Sandites spread the wealth, leaned on a hot handed quarterback, and let a fast, nosy defense do the rest.
Senior QB Easton Webb was the metronome, completing 22 of 29 for 232 yards and adding two touchdown keepers traffic When he wasn’t running with it, he was dealing it — most often to junior Dominic Forbes, who kept chains moving with 10 receptions for 95 yards and later punched in a short rushing TD. Webb's best fireworks came on a strike to senior Logan Wright for the night’s lone passing touchdown, a tidy reminder that this oense doesn't need to be flashy to be lethal.
The ground game was exactly the kind you scripted for Week 1 confidence - but finally unveiled in Week 3. The Sandites churned out 195 rushing yards behind a line that kept popping seams, with Webb’s 58 yards setting the table and junior Wiley Williams knifing in for a touchdown of his own.
Seniors Chaves Williams (57 yards) and juniors Kendell Page (38) and Williams (32) gave Sand Springs fresh legs and gave fresh problems to the Comets on every series.
Senior linebacker Brock O’Dell piled up 13 total tackles, and senior Emory Smittick added 11 more, while juniors Grady Harris and Waylon Jeers split a sack and stacked tackles for loss. Senior Tre Pope drooped the Comets’ tail with a 14-yard interception return, and the special teams unit came o the sideline like it had someplace to be: Harris got a hand on a kick, O’Dell swatted a punt, and senior Tanner Copeland was automatic at the end, drilling all five PATs and flipping the field with a 36-yard punt the one time he was asked.
If the oensive numbers say "balanced," the feel from the bleachers said “in control.” Webb spread completions to six dierent receivers, the backs finished runs forward, and the Sandites turned red-zone trips into touchdowns instead of turnovers. The defense, meanwhile, played like a door on a good hinge: five tackles for loss, a takeaway, and three passes defended with just enough pressure to make every Comet throw a worry.
It’s one win, but it’s the right kind of win — clean, complementary, and just enough to make practice a little fun on Monday. At 1–2, the Sandites finally have a scoreline that in Next up is a road trip to Bartlesville, where Sand Springs can find out if this wasn't just a spark but the start of something bigger. For now, though, a 35–0 shutout in the Sand Springs night air is exactly what this town’s been waiting to cheer.
