It’s time to shine, El Reno.

For the second year in a row, First Baptist Church and El Reno Public Schools will be hosting the Night to Shine prom event, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation. The popular football star philanthropist started the program in 2015 as a way to bring joy to special needs children.

Night to Shine is a full-blown prom, complete with tiaras, a dance floor, prom clothes and more. It is currently being celebrated by 655 churches in 50 states and 24 countries with 100,000 honored guests.

Opposing coaches knew El Reno High School’s football team had improved its defense over a year ago and it showed by the Blue Crush holding teams to 1,300 fewer yards and 164 fewer points than its own offense. Those stats were a big reason behind El Reno’s defensive players being among the Indians selections to the 2019 All-District 5A-1 team in voting by league coaches last week.

El Reno landed six players on the senior-only team to go along with one offensive player.
