OKLAHOMA CITY – Though she would have preferred to have been at home, El Reno High School senior Lilly Thomas knows some things in life are just too good to wait.
Thomas scored a team-high 25 points in a 74-19 road win over Southeast to become the third El Reno player in the past four years to surpass the 1,000-point career scoring mark.
“I kind of wanted to hit it at home but it’s all good. This feels pretty good,” said Thomas.

More importantly, the Indians remain in step with Carl Albert (3-0) for the lead in District 5A-1 with a 2-0 mark - the same as Lawton MacArthur. Noble (2-1) is currently fourth in the league.
