I think I have been good this year. For Christmas I would like a fart blaster, a big RC car and a collar for my Pup Pup, Oinkie and Banana. We will leave the Christmas lights on for you.

El Reno has now won 29 games in a row dating back to last season, 24 of those in the regular season.

The 24-point victory over the Tigers moved the Indians to 1-0 in the District 5A-1 standings.
