El Reno comeback stymied by Lawton

Body

LAWTON – Two failed fourth-down conversion attempts and an interception kept El Reno High School’s football team out of the end zone and the win column in last week’s 33-20 loss to Lawton.

In the first meeting between the schools since 1961, the Wolverines, leading by a touchdown, fended off two fourth-down attempts by EHS before adding a late touchdown to secure the 13-point win.

Lawton (4-3) remains tied with Guthrie and Carl Albert for the District 5A-2 lead at 4-0. Meanwhile, El Reno slipped to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in the district standings with three games to play.
