OKLAHOMA CITY - El Reno High School opened its summer baseball season with a one-run loss last week after the Oklahoma City Broncos rallied for a 6-5 win over the Indians.

The Broncos, a team made up of home-schooled players, scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to complete the rally. Two of those runs scored on an error off a ground ball behind second base with two outs.

The loss dropped El Reno to 0-1 in the wooden bat division of the Red Dirt League.

El Reno High School’s girls basketball team, the state runner-up in Class 5A, began work for the 2022-23 season with summer league play in Mustang.

More than 40 young basketball players took part in El Reno High School’s girls basketball skills camp last week at Jenks Simmons Field House.

Players were taught individual skills as well as team concepts.

While some came to appreciate classic cars and pickups, others came for smoke, smell and noise.

Even more came to race toy cars, while others simply came to cruise Route 66.

Whatever they came for, everyone seemed to get their fill at El Reno’s high-octane A Small Town Weekend celebration. The event last weekend drew an estimated 5,000 people to Sunset Drive and Adams Park where most of the action took place.

Canadian County commissioners last week approved the transfer of $50,000 to help cover inmate housing fees for the current fiscal year, which ends this month.

The current fund for out-of-county inmates has been exhausted. Commissioner Jack Stewart said work is taking place to add more for expenses for the new fiscal budget.

Undersheriff Kevin Ward said the department knew the time would come when expenses would rise.

With a roster of 56 riders to serve, Savannah Station requires an army of volunteers.

Last week, those ranks were bolstered by a volunteer orientation. Ten women and men learned about operations, procedures, and most importantly, safety.

Savannah Station is a nonprofit therapeutic riding program for special needs individuals that utilizes horses. For every rider, there are three volunteers - which translates into the need for a lot of help.
