LAWTON – A balanced no-huddle Lawton MacArthur offense kept El Reno High School’s defense on its heels last week as the Highlanders posted a 46-7 win over the Indians in a key District 5A-1 battle.

The 39-point victory allowed the Highlanders to take over sole possession of second place in the standings at 4-1, while El Reno slipped back into a tie with Noble for fourth at 3-2 in district action and 4-4 overall.

Last week’s loss to Lawton MacArthur not only ended El Reno High School’s three-game win streak but for all practical purposes took the Indians out of the chase for the District 5A-1 crown.

To get into a multiple-team tie for the league crown, El Reno would need Elgin to lose to both Midwest City and MacArthur over the final two weeks of the regular season. The undefeated Owls lead the District 5A-1 standings with a 5-0 record.

Then the Indians would need Noble to defeat both the Bombers and the Highlanders. Midwest City and MacArthur are tied for second, both at 4-1.

Next week’s El Reno Now Breakfast will feature information and discussion about the upcoming construction of the roundabout.

Representatives from the engineering firm Freese and Nichols are scheduled to provide an update on the status of the roundabout to be built at U.S. 81 and SH 66. The roundabout will replace the four-way signal system that now moves traffic through the heavily traveled intersection.

El Reno Now will begin at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 26.

Proceeds from the breakfast will benefit El Reno Mobile Meals.

El Reno High School’s cheerleading squad held its annual youth cheer clinic last week with 92 youth in grades pre-kindergarten through fourth learning a dance routine as well as a cheer.

Clinic participants then showed off what they learned in routines prior to the Indians home football game with Ardmore at Memorial Stadium.

The annual cheer clinic drew more than 90 campers.

A nonprofit group’s effort to save the old Canadian County Jail passed a major hurdle last week when Canadian County commissioners approved a new lease for the historic site.

Preservation El Reno previously presented a detailed proposal to make repairs and upgrades to the old jail building at 300 N. Evans.

The nonprofit organization announced plans to raise funds to reopen the historic building in fall 2025 as a museum and education center.

Canadian County owns the property, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Canadian County is moving forward with plans to sell land near the county’s juvenile justice center on East Highway 66.

Commissioners last week approved a resolution to accept the appraisal of a four-acre tract.

“This four acres is the area immediately north of Youth and Family Services,” Commissioner Dave Anderson said.

“Youth and Family has reached out to see if there would be any interest in a sale.”

The Gary E. Miller Canadian County Children’s Justice Center would likely never occupy this land, Anderson said.

The Canadian County Expo Center will host Circus on Ice on Saturday, Oct. 21.

The ice skating and circus show will have show times at 4:30 and 7 p.m.

The colorful event is put on by Taconhy Entertainment.

Taconhy Entertainment is known for its Argentine circus tradition.

The ice skating circus will combine the grace of ice skating with circus artistry.

Co-owners Steven Lopez and Daniela Mercado, both fifth-generation circus artists, have crafted a 90-minute show they said will dazzle the audience.
