OKLAHOMA CITY – On his 12th trip to the plate as a freshman, Davin Shamblin hit a solo home run to give his team an early lead in a district road game.
Spin forward 1,113 days and the El Reno High School senior did it again.
Shamblin’s second career home run gave the Indians a 1-0 lead in the opening game of a twinbill with Western Heights as El Reno went on to sweep the Jets to remain tied for the District 5A-1 lead.
“I hadn’t had that feeling in awhile,” said Shamblin of his home run.

For three days Jenks Simmons Field House and annex were the home to 1,300 lifters representing 147 schools. Competitors in grades seventh through 12th lifted in 11 different weight classes.
