While getting games played due to COVID-19 has been a challenge, Calumet High School’s boys basketball team will start the Class A playoffs this weekend as one of just two undefeated teams in the top 20.
The Chieftains closed the regular season with a 72-35 blowout of Crescent despite a two-week break due to the virus. Calumet, ranked fifth in Class A, will take a 13-0 record into the Region 1, District 8 championship game against either Pond Creek-Hunter or Oklahoma Bible Academy.
Game time is 8 p.m. Saturday.
El Reno residents looking to get one of the two approved COVID-19 vaccinations will need to travel to Mustang for the foreseeable future.
The Canadian County Health Department will only give the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines at the Mustang Recreation Center inside Wild Horse Park.
The vaccines will be administered on a daily basis.
The county had held two weekly vaccination pods at Redlands Community College, before moving to a daily pod at El Reno’s First Baptist Church Jan. 18. That pod was shut down Jan. 29.
El Reno Mobile Meals celebrated 45 years of service on Feb. 2 with volunteers wearing birthday hats and delivering cookies with the daily meals to help mark the special occasion.
Mobile Meals began in 1976 through the efforts of Delores Igo, Mary Kennedy Boepple, G.L. Bear, Mrs. Nell Musshaven and Mrs. Bill Brand. With an opening balance of $150, Mobile Meals served 24 hot, nutritious meals on its first day.
Igo served as the director until 1984.
