And head coach Jennifer Douglas knew just where to look – in the paint.

Sisters Pauline and Janae Black-Harmon combined for eight of the team’s 14 points in the fourth period of El Reno’s 50-41 win over the Wildcats. The victory secured the Indians their fourth regional title since 2017 and the second in a row.

A third-period scoring drought proved costly for El Reno High School’s boys basketball team in a rematch with Suburban Conference rival Carl Albert in the Class 5A West Region 4 Championship.

The loss was the first of the postseason for seventh-seeded El Reno, which slipped to 14-11 on the year. The Indians now advance to the Class 5A West Area I consolation semifinals needing back-to-back wins to earn a trip to state.
