Getting a wake-up call from a home-school program, El Reno High School’s girls basketball team closed out the regular season with a 59-35 win over the Oklahoma City Storm.

The victory was the third straight for El Reno and the 11th out of the past 13 games. The Indians, the West’s second seed for the upcoming Class 5A playoffs, finished the regular season with a 19-4 record.

El Reno led 11-8 after one period but allowed the Storm the first five points of the second period to trail for the first time in the contest.

Indians miscues in third period prove costly in final home game

Mother Nature’s recent blast of winter weather forced the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association to push back the time frame for the upcoming Class 5A playoffs.

The move gave El Reno High School’s boys basketball team an extra day to smooth out the miscues which led to a 62-47 senior night loss to the Oklahoma City Storm in last week’s regular-season finale.

The loss snapped El Reno’s four-game win streak as the Indians head into the playoffs as the West’s seventh seed with a 13-10 overall record.

Paige Primeaux shoots her final shot inside Jenks Simmons Field House  

From the sidelines: Her final shot that brought down the house

Paige Primeaux has shot and made hundreds of baskets inside Jenks Simmons Field House over her El Reno High School career.

However, all those shots fall short in comparison to the one she took in the Indians regular-season finale against the Oklahoma City Storm.

No, it wasn’t a buzzer-beater attempt to win the game. It was just a simple shot from under the basket on the opening play of El Reno’s double-digit win over the home-school team.

What spoke volumes about the shot was the whirlwind journey Primeaux had been through the previous 72 hours.
