El Reno’s 60-53 win over the Bears lifted the Indians, ranked No.13 in Class 5A, to 11-10 on the season. Kale Simon’s team has won two straight Suburban Conference outings to move to 4-6 overall and 3-3 in games counting toward the championship.
Down one of its offensive weapons, El Reno High School’s girls basketball team got points from six different players in the first period to help spark a wire-to-wire win over Noble.
El Reno’s 59-30 victory lifted the Class 5A’s eighth-ranked Indians to 12-9 on the season and 6-4 against Suburban Conference teams. EHS is 4-2 in games counting toward the league title.
The Indians scored the first six points on baskets by Kenzie Holsted, Arianna Long and Kayla Jones. Paige Primeaux then added a basket to go up 8-4.
