That’s Good Stuff ! Recipes, shopping and good stuff

Body

We went fishing in Arkansas last weekend and had an amazing time! We went to Norfork River which is near Mountain Home, Ark.

The weather was perfect, cool in the mornings and warmer in the afternoons. The trees hadn’t turned colors all the way, but it was still beautiful scenery.

While admitting there are areas of growth still needed from the top chair down, El Reno High School head softball coach Bri Michalicka could not be prouder of her team’s effort in her first season at the helm.

“This season was a trial run and I was proud of the girls. There were a lot of positive moments but our record did not reflect our potential as a team and program,” said Michalicka.

El Reno went 15-15 overall and made the regional championship round of the playoffs before being eliminated by Guthrie. The Indians were fourth in the District 5A-2 standings.
