El Reno High School’s wrestling team added four more state qualifiers from day two of the Class 5A West Regional, lifting the Indians total to nine – the most under head coach Tyrone Lewis.

Rylee Walborn (160), Thad Hicks (170), Mikey Devereaux (195) and heavyweight Ryan Sigler punched state tickets with fourth-place or better regional finishes.

Facing a relentless full-court pressure and a barrage of 3-point baskets from the Oklahoma City Storm, El Reno High School’s boys basketball team looked to have figured out a win in the regular-season finale.

Then the rug got pulled out from underneath the Indians.

The Storm went on a 7-0 run late in the fourth period to pull out a 78-73 win over the Indians. The loss dropped El Reno to 8-9 on the season going into the Class 5A regional round of the playoffs.
