DUNCAN - A six-game win streak spanning five years came to an end last week as Lawton MacArthur defeated El Reno High School’s fast-pitch softball team twice in the 2025 Class 5A Region 1 Championships.

El Reno had defeated the Highlanders 11-0 earlier this season and logged a 100-17 edge in runs scored over the win streak, dating back to 2020. Four of those wins came in the regional playoffs, two in 2023 and twice last season.

El Reno High School’s volleyball team closed out the regular season last week on a two-game losing streak after dropping a 3-2 decision to Class 5A’s No.11 Duncan.

El Reno, ranked No.14 in the same poll, headed into the regional round of the playoffs with an 18-13 season record.

The Indians took the first game 25-23 but dropped the next two games by a combined 16 points.

El Reno then forced a fifth game with a 25-19 victory in game four, but lost the tiebreaking fifth set 15-13.

Kaleb Thiessen has posted many highlight reel-worthy plays over the course of his high school career.

Yet the one play that showed just why Texas Tech showed interest in the Calumet High School senior and eventually landed his commitment came on the final pitch of the Class B State Championship game.

Okarche won the Class A state title with an 8-2 decision over Canute.
