Okarche High School’s contest play, “Kindertransport,” placed third in the OSSAA’s one-act play contest for the 2020-21 school year.

Cherokee was named state champion, with Alva being selected as state runner-up.

Also, OHS junior Emily Neuenschwander was named to the All-State play cast, an honor that goes to the top 10 performances among the eight plays that qualified for state competition.   

Apron Annies HCE scholarship recipient for 2021 at Okarche High School was salutatorian Nick Baustert, son of John and Donna Baustert.

Baustert plans to attend UCO to become a nurse practitioner.

Honoring Baustert is Apron Annies educational chair, Dr. Juanita Krittenbrink.

While it was not “overly physical” according to head coach Chuck Atchison, El Reno High School’s football program wrapped up spring drills with an intra-squad scrimmage.

“We got all our days in. We had a lot of young players that got a lot of reps in and we got what we wanted to get done accomplished. The practices were not overly physical, but that’s OK,” said Atchison.

The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association allows member districts to hold spring contact football drills for 10 days following the conclusion of all state tournaments for spring sports.

El Reno Public Schools broke ground on the next Memorial Stadium improvements which include switching the natural grass with artificial turf.
