Return of the U.S. 81 Battle
Russell Cook may be new to the U.S. 81 Battle, which is one of the state’s oldest known football rivalries, but the El Reno High School head coach has no problems opening up the season with such a big rivalry game.
“It feels good to be in such a great tradition. I have no problem opening the season with a rivalry game like this, I’m just excited to get out there on the field and see what we can do,” said Cook.
El Reno welcomes Chickasha to Memorial Stadium Friday to start Cook’s tenure, with kickoff set for 7 p.m.
El Reno scores open-drive TD to edge Elk City
ELK CITY – After both squads gave up would-be scoring plays in the controlled portion of last week’s preseason scrimmage, El Reno High School's football team prevailed 7-0 over Elk City in the open portion.
Starting at the 40-yard line, teams needed to gain a first down in three plays to extend the drive.
El Reno did that with a 30-yard pass from Cooper Park to Evan Roman Nose on third-and-9.
Malachi Nicholson added a 7-yard run, before covering the final 2 yards to the end zone on the following play.
Indians extend HHS win streak
Bouncing back from a season-opening loss, El Reno High School’s volleyball team needed only a few minutes past an hour to defeat Hennessey last week 3-0 in a tuneup match ahead of its own tournament.
The Indians 25-5/25-9/25-13 win lifted El Reno’s string of victories over the Eagles to 11-0 since 2017. Over those 11 matches, Kristen Koehler’s squads have never lost a game to Hennessey.
Noble hands EHS first road setback
In its first road test of the season, El Reno High School’s fast-pitch softball team was stymied to less than a handful of hits in a 9-1 setback to the Noble Bears.
The loss dropped the Indians to 4-2 on the season and snapped a three-game win streak. El Reno slipped to fourth in the District 5A-2 standings at 1-1 with the setback.
El Reno’s lone run came in the fourth inning after Noble scored the first five runs of the contest. Maddie Moss singled and moved to second on a Bears error off a grounder by Micah Woods.

Traffic stop leads to Fentanyl bust

The stop was made after the deputy said the vehicle made an improper lane change while traveling almost 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit. Concerned the driver might be intoxicated, the deputy made the traffic stop.
