OKLAHOMA CITY – Tough defense from three straight opponents kept El Reno High School’s boys soccer team off the scoreboard and out of the win column in the 2021 Northwest Classen Invitational.

El Reno dropped matches to the host Knights (3-0), Yukon (2-0) and Woodward (1-0) to slip to 1-6 on the season heading into this week’s District 5A-1 opener with Southeast.

In the setbacks to the Millers and Woodward, El Reno had only seven total shots. Edgar Garcia, Angel Martinez and Cohlton Fertig had two shots each and Christian Diaz added one shot.

Putting up eight runs in the fourth inning, El Reno High School’s baseball team completed the 2021 Washita Valley Invitational with an 8-4 win over Fletcher in bracket play.

The win over Class A’s 11th-ranked Wildcats gave El Reno a 2-2 record for the event. The Indians defeated Lawton 7-6 with two runs in the top of the eighth inning.

The losses were to Bridge Creek (6-5) and Class A’s second-ranked Fort Cobb-Broxton (8-0).

The split of the four-game set left El Reno with a 5-6 season record.

With only one player on the roster having any varsity experience, El Reno High School’s girls golf team has been going through some early-season growing pains.

“I’m proud of the girls for keeping with it and having a good attitude, especially for not having practice for two weeks. We’re going to keep getting better and that is our motto,” said head coach Sarah Brower.

El Reno opened the season at the Weatherford Invitational, placing eighth out of 12 teams with a team score of 472. Shane Castrop and Madi Patswald tied for the team’s low score with duplicate 116s.

Redlands Community College’s baseball team suffered its first two losses in NJCAA Region 2, Division 2 action last week, dropping home games to Northern Oklahoma College of Tonkawa.

The 14-11 and 8-3 setbacks dropped the Cougars to 6-14 on the season and last in the league standings at 0-2.

Redlands batted .281 for the twinbill, belting out 18 hits leading to 14 runs.

The team had 15 walks but struck out 20 times,
