COVID-19 issues shuffle ER schedules

Body

While both El Reno High School softball and volleyball programs lost games last week due to COVID-19 complications with opposing teams, Athletic Director Rodney Haydon does not see the virus as a growing problem for sports just yet.

“It really has not been an issue until this week. We had an athletic directors meeting last week and we didn’t even discuss cancellations. I think it’s not so much a COVID-19 issue but more of a numbers game and being cautious,” said Haydon.

Chieftains bounce back from shutout to rally past Verden; Tigers drop games

Body

CALUMET – After being held to two hits by Jaxon Olive in a 9-0 shutout loss to Class B’s fourth-ranked Fort-Cobb/Broxton a day earlier, Calumet High School’s baseball team snapped a three-game losing steak with a 12-2 win over Verden.

The Chieftains improved to 4-4 on the fall with the come-from-behind win over the Tigers.

Calumet’s offense took advantage of seven errors and four walks in the win, while James Daughety and Gavin Tinsley were both hit twice by pitches. One of those free passes and a hit batsman came with the bases loaded during a seven-run second inning.
