Hunting in the rain

Body

Playing through a steady rain for three and a half quarters, El Reno High School’s football team stayed in the hunt for a berth in the postseason with a 66-8 blowout of John Marshall.

El Reno moved to 3-5 overall with its largest winning margin of the season. More importantly, the Indians remain tied with Lawton and Noble for the fourth and final playoff spot from District 5A-2 with a 2-3 record.

Two long scoring plays in the second half and a fourth-down stop by the defense secured El Reno High School’s football team’s 30-22 win over Lawton and snapped a five-game losing streak.

El Reno, in just its second meeting with the Wolverines since 1961, moved to 2-5 on the season with the eight-point victory and climbed back into the playoff hunt at 1-3.

The Indians are now tied with Noble for fifth place in District 5A-2.

Both El Reno and Noble trail Lawton (2-2) by a game and a half for the fourth and final 5A-2 playoff spot, but each have defeated the Wolverines.
