Whether it’s holding a line on defense or opening up holes on offense for others to follow, El Reno High School senior Ryan Sigler is the type of two-way player coaches dream about.

“He is a great kid and is very coachable. He starts both ways and rarely ever comes off the field. He’s very disciplined, a great team leader and always polite. We are glad he is an El Reno Indian,” said head coach Russell Cook.
