Fight to the end

Body

SHAWNEE – While it was not the error-free game El Reno head coach Davee Deaton knew it would take to beat top-seeded Carl Albert, the Indians still took the Titans to seven complete innings Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Class 5A State Fast-Pitch Softball Championships.

El Reno, the No.8 seed, outscored Carl Albert 4-2 over the final three innings but could not overcome a slow start – both at the plate and on the field.

The Titans scored eight runs in the first four frames en route to a 10-4 win over El Reno.

A new Frontier

Demolition of the Frontier Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealership destroyed by the May 25 tornado that hit El Reno is expected to be complete by the end of this week.

Debbie Denwalt with Frontier said the demolition process is going well.

“It’s already looking better,” Denwalt said Monday after crews had knocked down most of the structure that remained after the deadly twister.

El Reno was hit with an EF-3 tornado about 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 25. Two people were killed in the Skyview Mobile Home Park west of the Frontier dealership. A motel was also destroyed.
