El Reno Fire Chief Jason Duff uses hand signals to guide the ladder operator into position to allow him to take down the Burger Day Festival banner over Rock Island Avenue that was damaged by high winds in April.

Opinions on Oklahoma’s weather are often more variable than the weather itself.

Some Oklahomans will look back on April 2022 and remember the seven confirmed tornadoes that touched down, although that is still below the long-term average of 11.7 for the month.

Many others will remember drought that saw both intensification in the northwest and improvement across the southeast.

El Reno High School held its 2022 prom recently at The Festivities, located in downtown El Reno. This year’s theme was “A Night Under the Stars,” with 310 tickets being sold for the event.

LAWTON – Watching both teams warm up, El Reno High School girls soccer coach Andrea Williams knew there was not a clear-cut favorite in the Indians first-round playoff game with Lawton MacArthur.

“This is a toss-up, we look pretty even,” said Williams.

Turns out she was right.

Making its fifth playoff appearance in eight years under Williams but the first since 2018, El Reno played the higher-seeded Highlanders to a stalemate for 80 minutes of regulation play and 7:09 into the first overtime period.

Then disaster struck.

Shorthanded by a player for the Class 5A West Regional, El Reno High School’s boys golf team fell short of qualifying for the state tournament set to start Monday.

The Indians did advance one golfer to state, being played at the Duncan Golf and Tennis Club, as Bryan Richardson grabbed the fourth individual medalist ticket for those not on a state-bound team.
