NORMAN – Being billed as an upper echelon team with state tournament potential, Calumet High School’s baseball program wasted little time in testing those predictions.
The Chieftains, under new head coach Cody Thiessen, opened up the 2022 fall season with a 5-3 win over Rattan in the Best of the Best East vs. West Baseball Festival.
Rattan was a 25-game winner last spring and made the Class A state quarterfinals. Calumet posted a 22-win season run that ended in the regional finals.

Faces will change on the El Reno City Council as well as with Canadian County commissioners. But the question for both is when?
The commission will have two new faces after the defeat of Marc Hader in the June primary election as well as the election of Jack Stewart to a state Senate seat.
Tracey Rider was elected to replace Stewart.
The Children of Hope Community Outreach capped off its summer program last week with a party at Lake El Reno that featured lunch cooked on a grill and balloon-making fun hosted by El Reno Arts Council President Sue Bear and El Reno High School art teacher Marci Underwood.
No issues were found in Canadian County after it performed a manual audit of selected ballots cast during the recent June 28 primary election.
The July 28 audit was done as part of an Oklahoma State Election Board effort that randomly selected county election boards for participation.
Canadian County was one of 33 boards across the state designated to conduct the audit, said election board secretary Wanda Armold.
“It was completely routine, it’s just part of a process undertaken to ensure elections are secure,” she said.
The Board of Commissioners has taken the next step in transforming the former home of an oil and gas company into the new Canadian County Health Department.
Commissioners last week approved an agreement with Lingo Construction Services to provide oversight on an estimated refurbishment of the former Halliburton site located at 6100 E. Highway 66 in El Reno.
When complete, the 32,000-square-foot building will become the new home of the Canadian County Health Department.
