One day after sweeping Capitol Hill in district play, El Reno High School’s softball team split two games in the 2021 Dale Festival against a pair of ranked teams.

El Reno improved to 9-14 on the season after beating Class B’s ninth-ranked Kremlin-Hillsdale (4-0) in the first game of the festival before falling 12-0 to Class A’s sixth-ranked Shattuck.

For the two festival games, El Reno went 10-of-38 from the plate for a .263 team batting average. C.C. Medders (.400), Chenoa White (.400) and Kira Taber (.333) led the team with two hits each.

El Reno High School’s cross country team had a male-only look over the weekend with no female runners taking part in the Eighth Annual Mike Driskill Turkey Creek Classic.

The boys team, running the 5-kilometer (3.1-mile course) at Turkey Creek Golf Course in Hennessey, posted a seventh-place finish with an average time of 21 minutes and five seconds and an overall time of 1:45:25.

Jacob Long led El Reno with a time of 19:35 to place 15th overall. Cole Strong was close behind in 19th place with a time of 20:02.
