MIDWEST CITY – Anthony McDonald’s debut as El Reno High School’s wrestling coach kicked off with a resounding 69-0 win over Midwest City in a dual which took just over an hour to complete.

El Reno, ranked fifth in the Class 5A dual state rankings, won all 12 weights on the mats and four exhibition matches. Those extra wins were all settled by falls, two from Rustyn Cook.
