After seven games, El Reno High School’s football team has a legitimate shot at winning a district title for the first time since 2009, so the Indians are treating each of the final three games of the regular season with kid gloves.
Even the ones expected to be a blowout on paper.
El Reno goes under the lights of Taft Stadium Friday night to play a Southeast team which is struggling through a six-game losing streak and yet to find a win in four District 5A-1 games.
Kolton Hunt (40) and Mikey Devereaux (34) chase down a Duncan ball carrier during Thursday night’s District 5A-1 game at Memorial Stadium. The Indians moved to 6-1 on the season and 3-1 in league action with a 42-19 win over the Demons.
SHAWNEE – While it was not the error-free game El Reno head coach Davee Deaton knew it would take to beat top-seeded Carl Albert, the Indians still took the Titans to seven complete innings Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Class 5A State Fast-Pitch Softball Championships.
El Reno, the No.8 seed, outscored Carl Albert 4-2 over the final three innings but could not overcome a slow start – both at the plate and on the field.
The Titans scored eight runs in the first four frames en route to a 10-4 win over El Reno.
