December 2019

Holding a two-game losing streak and facing a 13-day layoff between games, the last thing El Reno High School’s boys basketball team wanted was to enter the holiday break with another loss.

On the eye-test scale, last week’s top 10 matchup between El Reno High School’s girls basketball team and Weatherford was sloppy as the teams combined for 49 turnovers.

A 27-year-old man was taken into custody by El Reno police after allegedly stabbing another man in an incident Friday evening that took place near the high school. Vance Chas Wagner was arrested Saturday evening outside Little Caesar’s Pizza where he had reportedly gone to collect a paycheck.
