WEATHERFORD - An inconsistent effort on offense and struggles with special teams were main contributors in El Reno High School’s football team suffering a 31-0 shutout to Weatherford in its first road test of the 2024 season.
The loss closed out non-district play for El Reno with a 1-2 record. It marked the sixth time in the last decade for the Indians to suffer a shutout loss on the field and the first in the series with Weatherford.
