CPHS Football: 2018 Season Recap

Sand Springs Football is gearing up for a new season with a lot of new faces. Before we get into the new year’s preview, here’s a recap of the previous season.

Head Coach Dustin Kinard wrapped up his twelfth year at the helm, bringing his career record to 63-67. Last year ended a program-record six straight years of playoff appearances.

8/31/18 – Sand Springs fell 41-28 to Mansfield Summit, but ended on a high note with a two-touchdown comeback. The Frontier Valley Conference football teams went 4-1 against the Mansfield high schools, with Jenks, Union, Bixby, and Broken Arrow all winning their home games in the Texas Border Brawl. Caden Pennington threw 14-20-196-0 for two touchdowns, both to Jacob Snodgrass who had 109 yards receiving. Joel Mackey was 15-97 on the ground for two scores. Hayden Cramer had 14 tackles and Brooks Dudley caught an interception.

9/6/18 – The Sandites notched their first win 45-24 over Putnam City West and led by 35 points before sending in the backups. Pennington was 9-15-169-0 with three scores, two to Daren Hawkins and one to Colten Roberts. Mackey ran 13-150 for one score and Trey Wilkerson was 12-109 with two touchdowns.

9/14/18 – The defending Arkansas 6A State Champions were too much for Sand Springs and Greenwood rolled to a 49-13 victory. Pennington ran 15-95 for one touchdown and Mackey was 13-82 for the other.

9/21/18 – Sand Springs led Shawnee 12-6 at halftime but fell 23-20 in overtime. Mackey made an 80-yard touchdown run on the first play of the game and ran for 251 yards on 30 carries. Pennington ran for 78 yards and two scores while a steady drizzle limited the passing game. A redzone interception sent the game to overtime, and a fourth-down run from the six-yard line failed as Pennington slipped on the waterlogged turf. Shawnee kicked a 27-yard field goal for the win.

9/28/18 – Another fourth-quarter letdown as Muskogee rallied from a 27-24 deficit to a 45-27 victory. Pennington, Mackey, and Wilkerson all ran for touchdowns, and Pennington threw a 60-yarder to Hawkins. Cramer had 19 tackles.

10/5/18 – Bartlesville spoiled the Sandite homecoming 29-27 despite Sand Springs taking a 27-23 lead with under four minutes to play. Pennington was 6-13-138-1 with three touchdowns, two to Hawkins and one to Braden Foster. Mackey ran for one.

10/12/18 - The Sandites notched their first district win 35-14 against Ponca City. Both of Ponca’s touchdowns came in the final seconds of the halves and the Sandites dominated all aspects of the game. Pennington was 14-22-165-1 passing with touchdown strikes to Snodgrass and Justin Roe, and 8-64 running with two more scores. Wilkerson ran in the fifth score of the night.

10/18/18 - The eventual District and State Champions from Bixby notched their first-ever shut out of Sand Springs, 35-0.

10/26/18 - Sand Springs prevailed on Senior Night, upsetting their rivals from Sapulpa 48-34, despite the Chieftains being in one of their best seasons in recent memory. Pennington was 8-9-123-0 with a touchdown pass to Roberts, and was 28-212 with six touchdowns on the ground.

11/2/18 - The defending State Champions from Booker T. Washington beat the Sandites 48-21, but Sand Springs made a strong showing. The Hornets jumped out to an insurmountable 20-0 lead, and had the last word, but Sand Springs kept pace for much of the game. Hawkins and Luke Bratcher caught touchdown passes and Pennington scored a third on the ground. Cramer recorded a beastly sixteen tackles.

Two players from the class of 2019 committed to playing football at the collegiate level. Offensive and defensive lineman JT Bristow signed to play for Lyons College. Pennington signed to play for Northeastern State University.
