For the first time since 2019, the lights at El Reno’s Jenks Simmons Field House will be dark on game days for the upcoming Class 5A playoffs as neither El Reno High School basketball teams will host a regional.

The El Reno girls, the two-time defending state champion, finished third in the District 5A-2 standings and will start their title defense at the 5A West Region 2 Championships in Del City.

El Reno, which has not played a road regional game since 2019, will face Duncan (2-19) Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

El Reno High School’s boys wrestling team took part in the Class 5A West Regional Championships last week in Noble.

El Reno advanced three wrestlers to state.
