After all extracurricular activities were suspended for two days due to a possible COVID-19 situation at El Reno High School, athletics were allowed to resume practices last week.

The boys hosted Bishop McGuinness for a scrimmage under precautions.

No fans were allowed to attend and everyone in Jenks Simmons Field House had to wear a mask when not on the court.

Traditionally, a month into the basketball season would mean most small schools in Canadian County would have a month’s worth of practice time and up to six games under their belts.

However, there has been nothing traditional about 2020 heading into the Thanksgiving break.

Between lost power from a freak October ice storm and outbreaks of the coronavirus, Calumet has played just twice, while Okarche has had just one game.

El Reno's youth football recently won the 6-and-under, 9-and-under and 11-and under Central Oklahoma Football League titles with strong running.

Everett was many things to many people. It’s difficult to sum him up in an obituary. Darn near impossible.

Everett Jarome Adams was born Oct. 12, 1935, in Calumet. He met the love of his life, June (Laquita June Welch) in high school and they married in 1953. Hearing Everett’s story of how they met and got married was priceless. Together they had one son, Charles Jarome Adams. Needless to say, Jarome was very special to them and many others. Jarome passed in August of 2014 and June passed in May of 2018. June and Everett were married 64 beautiful years, together 65.
