Despite being one of five teams to improve its score over the final round of the 2026 Class 5A Oklahoma Girls State Golf Championship, El Reno High School was unable to break out of the ninth position.

Playing the Shangri-la Resort Course on Grand Lake, the Indians improved their score two strokes from the opening tally, closing with rounds of 400-398 for a 36-hole total of 798.

Bishop McGuinness, Blanchard and Claremore also made jumps.

Aiden Robinson hit a two-run triple and then scored the game-winning run off a subsequent error as Redlands Community College defeated Arkansas Mid-South 6-5.

Redlands took the first game of the best of three series with the Greyhounds 15-4. The sweep came in the crossover round of the NJCAA Region 2, Division II playoffs.

CALUMET – It’s known as the Triple Crown, and top-ranked Calumet is on the verge of joining an elite list of Class B schools to have won a fall and spring baseball championship as well as basketball all in the same academic year.

“Hopefully we can get it done,” said Calumet head baseball coach Cody Thiessen.

The Chieftains, who have the fall baseball and basketball titles under their belt, won the Region 1 crown to punch a ticket to the Elite Eight for the Class B Oklahoma State High School Spring Baseball Championships.

UNION CITY – While its offense made some noise, Union City High School’s pitching hushed any doubters as the fourth-ranked Tigers rolled to the Class A2, Region 4 Championships.

Union City defeated No.13 Cheyenne/Reydon twice (10-0-/12-2) and Ninnekah (12-0) to punch its ticket to the spring Class A2 Oklahoma State High School Baseball Championships for the first time since 2017.

Though the total run count was tied at 16-all, El Reno High School’s final three regular season opponents did what the Indians could not – get extra base hits.

The Indians defeated Lawton Eisenhower (15-1) to sweep the season series with the Eagles but lost to Noble (6-0) and Shawnee (9-1).

On the track, Lilly Owen was fifth in the 800-meter run with a time of two minutes and 40.81 seconds. The junior was sixth in the 1,600-meter run at 6:04.77.

Clutch hitting seems to have left the offensive lineup for El Reno High School’s baseball team following an 8-0 home loss to Elk City at the Hub Reed Complex.

The Indians slipped to 12-17 on the season with its second straight shutout loss.

El Reno left eight base runners stranded in the loss to the Elks including the bases loaded in the bottom of the first inning.
