EDMOND – Having beaten Shawnee in two close games during district play, El Reno High School head coach Jennifer Douglas and her players knew it would take four solid periods to defeat the Wolves for a third time.
Mission accomplished.
El Reno played four solid periods on both ends of the floor to post a 64-29 win over Shawnee in the Class 5A West Region 1 championship game.
The 35-point victory, the 24th of the season by double digits, lifted the Indians back into the state tournament for a fourth straight season.
The number of championships won is usually a stipulation when referring to a program as a dynasty.
It’s why El Reno High School head girls basketball coach Jennifer Douglas avoids using the word when talking about her program’s playoff success over the past eight seasons.
“I don't think about stuff like that. When I think dynasty, you have to have championships and we have not done that yet. So dynasty is not plausible yet,” said Douglas.
Yet no one can argue against the fact the road to winning a state title runs through El Reno.
Okarche and Calumet High School's boys teams made the finals of the 2024 Oklahoma Boys State High School Basketball Championships for Class A and B over the weekend.

The Indians had their season halted with a 58-49 loss to district champ Carl Albert in the 5A West Area I Consolation Championships.
It was El Reno’s third meeting this season with the Titans, who slipped into the winner-take-all battle for state after losing the area title to Crossings Christian.
