Designing plays to feature a specific player is nothing new for El Reno High School’s boys basketball coach Rodney Haydon.
Yet when the outcome of the play is believed to be a career milestone, Haydon is going to go the extra mile.
Though it was a different season, El Reno High School’s girls basketball team started out the 2024 calendar year with a 58-point tournament win.
Last week the Indians ended the 2024 calendar of games with a 68-21 victory over Noble in district play. Between the two games were 27 straight victories.
El Reno improved to 6-0 on the 2024-25 season with the 47-point win over the Bears. More importantly, the Indians moved to 3-0 in the District 5A-1 standings and in pace with Carl Albert for the lead.
Three multi-point runs kept El Reno High School’s boys basketball team in the win column and undefeated heading into the holiday break following an 87-27 victory over Noble.
El Reno moved to 6-0 on the season with the 60-point win, its second largest winning margin of the season. The Indians are now 3-0 in the District A-1 standings, a game back of Carl Albert (4-0) in the win column and one in front of Lawton MacArthur (2-0).
