El Reno High School’s boys basketball team overcame a lot of unknowns during Rodney Haydon’s first season back on the bench, playing to within a basket of a trip back to the state tourney.
For the efforts, El Reno had five players pick up postseason honors during voting for the 2021 All-Suburban Conference Team including double awards for seniors Ryan Island and Darius Moore.
El Reno had its district 5A-2 series with Guymon canceled twice last week due to rain and wet field conditions. The Indians, 3-4 on the season, were slated to play this weekend in the Washita Valley Classic in Chickasha. Keith Hill’s team will then host Guymon on Monday at the Hub Reed Complex for a varsity only doubleheader. First pitch is set for 3 p.m.
El Reno will then host Southeast in a varsity twinbill on Tuesday starting at 4:30 p.m. The Indians are 2-0 in district play and ranked fourth among the eight teams behind Carl Albert, Piedmont and Guthrie.

in Oklahoma City.
It was a slow offensive start for both Calumet and Union City High School’s slow-pitch softball teams as the pair returned from spring break with shutout losses.
Union City, ranked 20th in Class A, fell to 7-7 on the season with a 15-0 loss to Binger-Oney, the top-ranked team in the same poll. The Tigers were held to one hit - a third-inning single from Kylie McCoy.
She was erased a batter later on a fielder’s choice single from Haylie McCoy.
Playing its third series in a week, Redlands Community College’s baseball team headed north to Kansas to split a series with NJCAA Division 1 Hutchinson Community College.
The teams combined for 55 runs as the Blue Dragons won the opener 24-6. Redlands took game two 15-10.
The split came on the heels of the Cougars home sweep of Dakota College of Bottineau, based out of North Dakota, by scores of 3-1 and 9-0.
Redlands Community College’s basketball teams continue a rough stretch through the latter stages of the Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference schedule, winning one of four games against Northeastern Oklahoma A&M over a 48-hour period.
Jay Niehues’ women's team snapped a three-game slide with a 57-45 home win over the Golden Norsemen, but lost the return game in Miami by a 70-56 count.
The split left the Cougars with a 9-6 overall record and a 6-6 mark in the OCAC standings, lifting the team up one spot to fifth.
