Posting a 2-2 record in the Hinton Invitational, Union City High School’s fast-pitch softball team remains in the top 20 of the Class A poll at No.17.

The Tigers, winners of four of their last six games, defeated Merritt (5-4) and Mount View Gotebo (9-1), but dropped games to Binger-Oney (4-1) and Lookeba-Sickles (5-3). Both squads are ranked in the top 20 in Class B.

Union City is now 10-4 on the season.

The Tigers offense posted a .364 average (28-of-77) en route to the 18-run effort. Mariah Ailey and Cassidy Taylor logged doubles as the lone extra base hits.

A four-game win streak has lifted Calumet High School into the No.1 spot of the Class B Fall State Baseball Poll over archrival and defending state champion Fort Cobb-Broxton.

Calumet moved to 6-1 on the season with a three-game run toward the championship of the Leedey Invitational. The Chieftains defeated Arnett (16-1) and Drummond (13-5) and Class B’s fifth-ranked Hammon (9-3).

Having missed extending a playoff streak to seven years by just one game or 10 points, it goes without saying that El Reno High School’s football team has plenty of learning points to recall from the 2024 season.

It’s just those points are in the past and that’s where head coach Russell Cook wants them to stay.

Sixty-four snaps and it’s go time.

That’s the number of live action plays El Reno High School’s football team took last week in its lone preseason scrimmage against Elk City at Memorial Stadium.

“I was pleased with the kids and felt like they played hard. It’s really a glorified practice but we felt like we were in decent shape and the people out there played hard to play tough. We still have to work out some kinks,” said El Reno head coach Russell Cook.
