With Chickasha bowing out of one of the oldest rivalries in the state, El Reno High School’s non-district football schedule will look a little different in 2020 – except for one mainstay.

Riverside Superintendent David Garner said the school and parents are working to identify students who may have COVID-19 symptoms before they come to school.

Garner said all school districts are working in a preventive fashion.

“As schools reopen we are faced with many new changes, but one thing we need help emphasizing is that students who have any COVID symptoms cannot be in school,” Garner said by email.
