MUSTANG – Three of the six age group championships awarded during the Central Oklahoma Football League's Super Bowl Saturday made their way back to El Reno.
El Reno’s 6-and-under, 9-and-under and 11-and-under football teams all defeated squads from Mustang. The city’s Little League program had the most titles by one over Mustang.
“I think that’s the first time we have won three titles,” said El Reno’s Mark Vincent.
A surge in the number of students placed into quarantine from a small pool of positive tests for the coronovirus has forced El Reno Public Schools to close both its high school and junior high campuses to in-person learning.
Superintendent Craig McVay said Etta Dale Junior High and El Reno High School will be shuttered through November 29. The closures were effective at the end of the school day Thursday, Nov. 12.
The current plan is for students to return to in-person classes on Nov. 30.
El Reno High School continued its tradition of remembering Veterans Day with a virtual ceremony last week due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2020 Gifts to the Yanks drive is now under way. Donations are being accepted by El Reno students in grades 9-12 to purchase gifts for veterans at the VA Hospital in Oklahoma City.
Classes are also selling shirts and other items ahead of the Dec. 10 virtual assembly where gifts will be displayed and then taken to Oklahoma City. For more information or
to make a donation, call the school at 405-262-3249.
