Grinding it out

Body

Shunned for another year by the famed Geary Invitational, El Reno High School’s wrestling team joined a list of teams to head south over the weekend for the 2020 Pauls Valley Invitational.

“They told me that we would be notified if they had any openings. I haven’t heard anything from them so I just left it at that,” said El Reno head coach Tyrone Lewis of getting passed over by Geary.

Two Canadian County elementary schools got some great news in the form of state report cards.

Calumet Elementary received an A and Darlington Elementary received a B. These schools are two of 66 schools that have received top grades in the report card issued by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. The report cards are based on state testing and student attendance.

Officials from both schools cited similar reasons for the students success.
