On Sunday, it was cold, gray and solemn. The lack of sunlight made for a dreary-looking day. But that didn’t matter to the people at Fort Reno.
What mattered was they were there to honor the fallen, the brave soldiers of the United States military.
The historic fort was one of the locations for Wreaths Across America, a tradition kept all over the country since 2007 (but in a smaller capacity since 1992).
The tradition is a ceremony honoring the military, with Christmas wreaths laid on the graves of soldiers.
El Reno High School’s wrestling team continues to show just why it’s ranked among the top 10 in Class 5A last week with two impressive bounce-back performances. Two days after dropping its first dual of the season, the eighth-ranked Indians improved to 3-1 with a 69-6 drubbing of U.S. Grant.
Nine EHS wrestlers then went to Enid for the nationally-recognized 2019 MidAmerica Nationals and came away with a 12th-place tie with Piedmont, which handed El Reno its first dual loss only days earlier.
