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.

Sand Springs trailed for only 49 seconds in the game. Dailyn Spencer stole the Sandites’ opening possession and Ben Coleman scored first for the Defender’s only lead, which soon evaporated behind consecutive baskets from Marlo Fox and Davon Richardson. It took a while for the Sandites to find their rhythm, and the Defenders kept it close for most of the first period. Garrett Tankersley hit a three to make it 14-13 late in the quarter, but the Sandites went on a 12-point run spanning two quarters and ended the first up 21-13.

Joseph Garringer broke up the run to make it 26-15, but the Sandites soon kicked off an 11-point streak with baskets from Jaeden Hurd, Josh Minney, Richardson, and Fox. By halftime the Sandites had nearly doubled their foes at 46-24.

The third quarter saw the biggest run of the morning as five Sandites combined for 19 consecutive points to make it 67-26, and by the end of the quarter they led 74-28, their best third-quarter advantage of the season thus far. The Defenders rattled off nine-straight points in the fourth, their longest run of the game.

Fox led all scorers for the sixth time this season, with 18 points. He was 4-of-5 from outside the arc. Hurd posted a season-best 14 points, Richardson added 13, and Minney and Daren Hawkins had 10 apiece. Spencer and Garringer scored 13 apiece to lead the Defenders.

The Sandites will play the winner of Hoops For Christ (9-4) vs. the Oklahoma City Storm (13-5) Friday at 5:00 p.m. Green Country dropped to 5-4 on the season, and will play the loser of the HFC vs. OKC game Friday at 11:00 a.m.
