OKLAHOMA CITY – Unforced errors in three critical areas came back to haunt El Reno High School’s volleyball team in a 3-0 loss to No.16 Santa Fe South in the semifinals of the Class 5A Region 1 Championships.

The 25-21/25-12/25-11 loss to the St. Bernards ended El Reno’s season with an 11-17 record and extended the school’s longest hiatus away from the state tournament in any sport.

El Reno had made the regional finals the past two seasons but the Indians have not qualified for state since their lone appearance in 1993.

EDMOND – The strong hitting that carried Calumet High School to the 2022 Class B Fall State Baseball Championships left the Chieftains when it was needed the most.

Calumet defeated fifth-ranked Boswell 5-4 in the state quarterfinals, but fell in the semifinals to eventual state champion Fort Cobb/Broxton by a 12-2 margin.

It was Calumet’s second trip to state in school history, the first coming in 1975. The loss to the Mustangs, the 13th-ranked foe faced in the final 17 games of the fall campaign, ended the Chieftains season with a 26-5 record.

The 1-5 Indians were back on the road Friday night at Ardmore in a key District 5A-1 battle for playoff aspirations.

With four games left in the regular season, El Reno is 1-2 in district games and tied with Duncan and Noble for fourth place, while Ardmore is tied for fifth.
