Long before the sun tried to peek over the clouds Monday morning, El Reno High School kicked off its fall football preseason workouts at Memorial Stadium.

The Indians went through a three-hour nonpadded drill.

According to Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association rules, teams must have three days of non-padded drills before hosting full-contact padded drills. El Reno's first practice in pads will be Thursday.

Those on the outside might think El Reno High School head softball coach Bri Michalicka is hitting the panic button after her Indians closed out their preseason run with a 2-4-1 record.

In fact, it’s just the opposite.

“We’ve seen everything we need to see, and I don’t look at those games as losses at all. We gained a lot of knowledge and I feel really good about going into the season,” said Michalicka.

Entering her second year, Michalicka had a pre-set rotation for most of the preseason, with the majority of players switching every two innings to different positions.

Changes will make new year even better

The city of El Reno has been making some major infrastructure, public safety and quality of life improvements with the help of grants.

Mayor Steve Jensen presented a detailed list of the grants at last week’s El Reno Now gathering. In all, El Reno has landed more than $12 million in grants from a variety of “partners.” 

The presentation titled El Reno Delivers: Big Projects, Big Impact, detailed the areas that have been impacted through successful grant applications. 

An aviation museum at the El Reno Regional Airport is not set to open for about two months, but it’s already drawing positive attention to the area. 

A fully restored 1931 Curtiss-Wright B-14R Speedwing, owned by Tony Caldwell and part of The Caldwell Collection at Mustang Field, received one of the most prestigious honors in aviation, the Bronze Lindy Award at EAA’s AirVenture 2025 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Tony Caldwell is an Oklahoma entrepreneur, former legislator and successful businessman. Now, he’s about to be the creator and owner of one of the state’s top aviation museums. 

The Caldwell Collection at Mustang Field, a nonprofit museum, will open this fall at the historic El Reno Regional Airport.

El Reno made its presence known at the nation’s largest air show last month. 

Scott Law, manager of the El Reno Regional Airport, traveled with the Oklahoma delegation that worked the week-long event in Oshkosh, Wis.

Law said the Oklahoma Department of Aviation and Aeronautics as well as the Oklahoma Department of Commerce had a shared Oklahoma booth at the event. 

Law helped man the booth and met with individuals as well as aviation-related companies that had questions about Oklahoma and El Reno.
