Boys win, girls in the hunt

El Reno High School’s basketball teams went into last week’s home finales against Santa Fe South in the top two spots in the District 5A-1 standings.

The boys defeated the St. Bernards 15-0 via a forfeit due to illness and ineligible players at the OKC school. The Indians moved to 13-0 in the district and claimed the title no matter the outcome of the Carl Albert road game.

The girls are second and need to win their last two league games to claim the title.
