Playing its third series in a week, Redlands Community College’s baseball team headed north to Kansas to split a series with NJCAA Division 1 Hutchinson Community College.

The teams combined for 55 runs as the Blue Dragons won the opener 24-6. Redlands took game two 15-10.

The split came on the heels of the Cougars home sweep of Dakota College of Bottineau, based out of North Dakota, by scores of 3-1 and 9-0.

Redlands Community College’s basketball teams continue a rough stretch through the latter stages of the Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference schedule, winning one of four games against Northeastern Oklahoma A&M over a 48-hour period.

Jay Niehues’ women's team snapped a three-game slide with a 57-45 home win over the Golden Norsemen, but lost the return game in Miami by a 70-56 count.

The split left the Cougars with a 9-6 overall record and a 6-6 mark in the OCAC standings, lifting the team up one spot to fifth.

Burger Day is back.

Admittedly, it’s a slimmed-down Burger Day Festival, but it’s still about the fried-onion hamburger that El Reno made famous. And it will be held the first Saturday in May.

In early March the El Reno Main Street Board announced it would not host the Burger Day Festival for the second consecutive year. The festival was canceled in 2020 after COVID-19 forced people to stay away from one another.

Having just celebrated its 45th anniversary, El Reno Mobile Meals is bringing more than just hot meals to the table this year. With new ideas and plans under way, the organization recently welcomed its newly hired director, longtime chef Norman Sheridan.

El Reno Mobile Meals is a nonprofit organization that provides meals to anyone who is unable to prepare meals themselves.

Working solely with volunteers, meal packages are hand-delivered to the 125 recipients throughout the community.
