El Reno, it would appear, is becoming a destination for moviemakers.

A number of films have been shot in the city over the years. Major films such as Rain Man and Elizabethtown as well as I Can Only Imagine featured scenes shot in El Reno.

Now, just this past month, two more - Stillwater with Matt Damon and 13 Minutes with Trace Adkins - have found El Reno attractive for movie-making.

OKARCHE – Two of the most successful small-school basketball teams in western Oklahoma renewed their annual rivalry last week and as expected, it was an edge-of-the-seat affair for four periods.

Calumet High School’s girls basketball team used a late 5-0 run to pull away from Okarche’s girls squad for a 53-46 victory in a game in which neither team led by more than eight points.

Memorial service for Lloyd M. Corlee of Norman will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019, at Ellison Avenue United Methodist Church in El Reno with Cydni Tillery officiating. Interment will be in the Fort Sill National Cemetery.
