The end of a basketball season, be it with a state championship or heartbreak, is always tough for both high school seniors and the coaches who have spent years guiding them.
However, there are those seasons in which those special bonds created get revived for one last time, months later, on the hardwood through the All-Star Games.
OKLAHOMA CITY - Calumet High School right-hander Carson Cooper took a no-hitter into the fourth inning as the Chieftains toppled Class 6A’s Putnam City 9-3 in Red Dirt League action.
The win over the Pirates moved Calumet to 2-0 in the league standings following a 6-3 road decision over Crossings Christian.
Cooper struck out seven batters and allowed two walks in three complete innings before yielding the mound to the bullpen. Brendon Voss, David Walling and Wyatt Cox combined for a four-inning line of five walks, three runs, three hits and three strikeouts.
There’s an old saying that when one door closes, another one opens.
El Reno High School basketball coach Rodney Haydon is now a true believer of that old phrase.
With graduation as well as the departure of Kaleb Blackwolf after his breakout freshman season, the Indians were looking at returning just two full-time and one part-time starter from a team that fell a quarter shy of making the state tourney.
Facing a tough reload, El Reno got a boost when two familiar faces returned to the program in seniors Tre Davis and Jonathan Reed.
