Chenoa White never saw the bat hit the ball but the end product of her first official at bat helped set the tone for El Reno High School’s girls softball team’s season-opening win over Bishop McGuinness.

Hitting in the cleanup spot, White slapped her first pitch over the left field fence in the bottom of the first inning for a two-run homer.

It was part of a five-run frame as El Reno cruised to a 20-1 win over the Irish in the District 5A-2 opener for both teams.

Union City High School’s fast-pitch softball team bounced back from a season-opening loss to defeat Carnegie 10-2 for its first win of the 2021 campaign.

The Tigers, now 1-1, dropped a 20-8 game to Cashion.

Union City had five hits in the win over Carnegie as Oceanna Schranz went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Makinzie DeLong hit a home run, followed by singles from Makenna DeLong and Kylie McCoy.

Emily Griggs pitched six innings for the win with a line of six strikeouts, four hits and two runs.

Cheyenne and Arapaho Gov. Reggie Wassana said he was pleased with the response of Congressman Frank Lucas when the pair recently discussed the idea of Fort Reno being transferred back to the Tribes. While Lucas made no promises, Wassana said the meeting was productive.

Wassana met with Lucas recently in Washington, D.C.

“I was very appreciative of the congressman’s openness to listen,” said Wassana.

He said he believes Lucas was sincere in hearing out the reasons why the C&A believe the land should be returned to tribal ownership.
