El Reno High School’s boys wrestling team, starting the 2026 portion of its schedule unranked, outwrestled Class 5A’s 15th-ranked Newcastle, coached by former EHS skipper Tyrone Lewis, on the mat.

However, it was the matches on paper that cost El Reno the victory.

El Reno slipped to 1-2 on the dual season.
