CPHS Basketball: Davon Richardson signs with University of Central Oklahoma

Charles Page High School senior point guard Davon Richardson signed a letter Wednesday morning to play basketball for the University of Central Oklahoma.

Richardson was named to the Frontier Valley All-Conference third team as a sophomore and first team as a junior. He also made the All-Vype and All-Region teams both years.

Richardson has started 50 games for the Sandites and has scored 718 points, leading his team on 21 occasions with 9 double-doubles and a career high 44-point performance.

Last season he averaged 8.4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 15.7 points per game while shooting 48.9% on field goals, 29.0% on three-pointers, and 69.2% at the charity stripe.

UCO is a public university in Edmond, competing in the NCAA Division 2 level and Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. The Bronchos went 11-17 last season and 4-15 in conference, but were 20-10, 12-7 the year prior. They are in their first season under legendary Head Coach Bob Hoffman

Richardson will join former teammate Colt Savage, who is a sophomore at UCO, but first he has unfinished business on the Sandite court. Richardson has helped lead the Sandites to a Regional Championship and State Tournament appearance over the past two years, and the team holds a 37-16 record in that span.

The 2019-2020 season will tip off Tuesday, November 26th at 6:30 p.m. with a non-conference home game against Ponca City.
