A double plume of smoke shoots out the back of Texan Robin Reed’s boat as it digs out of the water off the start line during the 2021 Hunter Showdown on Lake El Reno over the weekend.
It was the season-ending points event for the Southern Drag Boat Association.
When Piedmont unveiled its new turf field four years ago, El Reno High School’s football team played the spoiler role on the night’s festivities with a 13-point win.
El Reno head coach Chuck Atchison knows the Wildcats have been itching for some payback.
“We went over there four years ago when they opened their new field and won and I know they want to come over here and do the same,” said Atchison.
Posting wins in the first and last games, El Reno High School’s softball team emerged from the Shawnee tourney with a 2-2 record but more importantly, an offense hitting its stride.
El Reno improved to 3-6 on the season with wins over Woodward (11-1) and Del City (14-1).
Those were split by losses to Claremore (20-7) and Durant (4-3).
The Indians had 10 players log hits as the squad went 40-of-104 from the plate for a .385 average.
Six of those hits were doubles, two each from Chenoa White and C.C. Medders. Bailey Brothers and Maddie Moss had one each.
El Reno High School’s volleyball team, ranked No.11 in Class 5A, ran into an early-season rough patch with losses in three of five matches last week, including a 2-2 effort in the Community Christian School tourney.
The three setbacks came to ranked teams in Class 5A’s No.3 Carl Albert (2-0), Class 4A’s No.10 Cache (2-0) and Class 3A’s No.2 Community Christian (2-0).
The 2-0 wins were over Blanchard and CCS’ junior varsity in the tourney. The victories left El Reno with an 8-4 overall record.

On the opposite side, Cache put more than 250 yards of offense with a 4.7 yards per snap average.
