Wildcats flexbone attack concern for ER coaches

Body

There are several reasons why Piedmont’s football team is causing El Reno High School’s coaching staff to spend extra preparation time this week ahead of Friday night's first road game of the 2022 season.

Those reasons stem from the Wildcats flexbone offense.

“It’s all about misdirection. It’s the triple option and you’ve got to pick up not only the quarterback but the dive man and the pitch man,” said El Reno head coach Russell Cook.

The extra preparation, from a defensive standpoint, comes from the fact it's an offense not seen much.

OMR discovery gives new insight to wound healing

Body

OKLAHOMA CITY — When a fresh wound occurs, cells rush to produce collagen, which aids healing. But sometimes this process goes awry, resulting in one of two extremes: insufficient healing or excessive scar tissue.

Thanks to a recent discovery at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, researchers now have a better grasp on the cause.

“It’s a delicate balance,” said OMRF scientist Lorin Olson, Ph.D., who led the study published this month in the journal Cell Reports.

“Everything must work just right for proper wound healing to take place.”

Chickasha nips El Reno with late drive in U.S. 81 Battle, 20-14

Body

In games such as the U.S. 81 Battle between El Reno High School's football team and its oldest rival Chickasha, a handful of plays can be the thin line between winning and losing.

Unfortunately for the Indians, those plays fell in favor of the Chicks.

After an apparent tie-breaking touchdown catch by El Reno was waved off, Chickasha went on a 10-play, 85-yard scoring drive late in the fourth period to pull out a 20-14 win over the Indians.
