El Reno capped off a three-match road swing last week with a 3-1 loss at Weatherford.
The setback to Class 4A’s 14th-ranked Eagles left EHS with a 1-2 mark on the road trip and a 10-14 season record.
See Wednesday’s paper for a recap.
Due to low Shawnee numbers, El Reno’s seventh and eighth grade football teams, shown here in a game earlier this season, combined forces last week to defeat the Wolves in a 72-48 shootout.
Union City High School’s fast-pitch softball team took Rush Springs into the title round of the Class A, District 29 Championships before bowing out with back-to-back losses to the Redskins.
The Tigers season ended with a 23-14 record after 6-0 and 10-7 losses to Rush Springs, following a 14-3 victory over Empire.
Mackinzie DeLong was a big hit machine for Union City over the three games, falling a single short of hitting for the cycle. The senior had two home runs in back-to-back innings on the first day of the district tourney.
Redlands Community College’s soccer team jumped back into NJCAA Region 2 action last week, kicking off a four-match road swing with a 6-1 setback to Rose State College.
The loss dropped the Cougars to 2-8 for the season and 1-6 in the region standings.
The Raiders led 3-0 before Redlands scored an unassisted goal by Moriah Reed to trail 3-1 at the break. Rose State added three second-half goals.
Redlands had seven shots, five on goal, led by Reed with three shots. Gladis Avalos followed with two shots, while Amya Lindsay and Riley Robertson had one shot each.

After three straight road games and an open week, El Reno High School’s football team will be back inside Memorial Stadium Friday night for a homecoming district battle with Noble. And that’s just what head coach Russell Cook is expecting from Noble, a battle.
“I know they have a good quarterback and they beat Piedmont, so it’s going to be a battle,” said Cook.
ELGIN – Two special teams errors and a sluggish start on offense coming out of bye week proved costly for El Reno High School’s football team in its District 5A-1 opener.
Elgin turned both first-period miscues into scoring drives and added a third touchdown in the opening stanza as all three possessions started at midfield or inside El Reno territory.
The Owls rode the 21-point first period to a 47-8 win over El Reno, which slipped to 0-4 on the season.
Sophomore pitcher Kaydence Pawnee struck out the final batter with the tying run on base as El Reno High School’s softball team stunned Noble 8-7 to garner a split with the Bears in District 5A-2 play.
El Reno improved to 11-15 on the season and 7-6 in district play, leap-frogging Guymon into fourth place. Noble remains in third but only a half game ahead of the Indians.
After a straight games loss to No.16 Santa Fe South, El Reno High School’s volleyball team jumped back into the win column with a 3-0 victory of Noble.
The 25-20/25-23/25-1 win over the Bears left El Reno with a 10-13 overall record, coming two days after a 25-23/25-23/25-19 loss to the St. Bernards.
Trinity Black led El Reno with 22 kills for the two matches, followed by Jewell Graham with seven kills and four each from Qyra Jones and Emma Patswald.
Pauline Black-Harmon and Madison Patswald had three kills each, while Savannah Robinson had two kills.
CALUMET – While its offensive output looked like that of Las Vegas long shot, Calumet High School’s baseball team left no question about being a solid bet to make the Class B State Championships.
The third-ranked Chieftains used a 50-1 scoring blitz to sweep past Erick and Dover last week to win the District 3 Championship. Calumet, now 22-3 on the fall season, heads to the regional round with a shot at state on the line. The top two teams in each of the four regional sites, to be announced Monday, earn state passes.
