NOBLE – While El Reno High School did not emerge the winner of the Class 5A, West Region 1 Baseball Championship, it will go down as one of the more memorable postseasons for the Indians.

El Reno posted a 1-2 record, beating Southeast 16-0, to close the season with a 15-20 record. However, it was the two losses to Lawton Eisenhower, by scores of 4-0 and 9-1, which drew the most attention.

Nerves may have played a part in the outcome for El Reno High School’s two entries in the 2021 Class 5A Girls State Golf Championship.

Junior Shayne Castrop and sophomore Berkley Smith were making their first-ever appearance at state, playing the Chickasaw Point Golf Club Course in Kingston. Neither golfer was able to break into the top 45 of the individual medalist chase.

Nancy Karol Davison was born in El Reno on Dec. 20, 1935, and was the third child to Leona “Mimi” and W.S. “Bill” Brown. She grew up in El Reno and graduated from El Reno High School in 1954 where she met James “Jim” Davison. Jim was a bad boy of sorts who was five years older, rode a motorcycle and served in the Air Force.

Funeral services for Ross “Cappy” Burchfield of Calumet, former Minco resident, were held Tuesday at the Hazel Dell Baptist Church, with burial following in the Hazel Dell Cemetery. Services were under the direction of Huber-Reynolds Funeral Home in Minco.
