ER girls suffer shutout losses

Body

El Reno High School’s volleyball team continues to struggle with consistency over the best of five head-to-head matches following a pair of 3-0 shutout losses.

The Indians slipped to 3-6 on the season following a 25-18/28-26/25-15 home loss to Chickasha in the volleyball installment of the U.S. 81 Battle.

El Reno led the Chicks in two of the three games including an eight-point advantage in the game two loss. That setback came on the heels of a 25-14/25-21/25-10 road loss at Class 5A’s 14th-ranked Duncan.
