El Reno High School’s football team dominated voting last week for the 2020 District 5A-1 All-District Team, picking up nine honors including four superlative awards.

“When you go undefeated in the district, the guys should be awarded for making that happen. The kids that we had named deserved the honors for all their hard work and what they have done. Many of those kids have played on varsity for three or four years,” said El Reno head coach Chuck Atchison.

After hitting just 59 percent from the charity stripe during regulation play, Calumet High School’s girls basketball team pulled out a nail-biter over Okeene in overtime by hitting 83 percent of its free throws.

Kyle Axton’s team went 5-of-6 from the line in the extra period to open the 2020 Canton Tourney with a 46-65 win over the Whippets. Calumet, ranked No.13 in the latest Class A poll, improved to 4-1 on the season.

Breaking from the past, El Reno’s Main Street held its annual Christmas parade and downtown shopping kickoff event over the weekend but during the daytime.

The city of El Reno will consider entering into a deal with a local charitable organization to help save the historic municipal swimming pool bathhouse at Legion Park. Mayor Matt White made the announcement during Thursday’s El Reno Live program.
