SHAWNEE – Between spring and fall seasons, the past four Class B Oklahoma State High School Baseball Championships have been settled between Calumet and Fort Cobb/Broxton.

The Mustangs held Calumet to a pair of base hits en route to a 9-2 victory as Fort Cobb/Broxton won its third straight spring title, fifth overall and ninth counting the fall season.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Getting the chance to correct some back nine miscues from day one of the 2025 Class 5A Girls State Golf Championships never materialized for third-ranked El Reno High School.

Unfortunate events which hampered El Reno.

Second-ranked Duncan was crowned state champ with a 333, six shots better than top-ranked Carl Albert (339).

DUNCAN – In what proved to be the second closest of the eight first-round matches of the Class 5A playoffs, El Reno High School’s girls soccer team gave up two goals to Duncan’s Dasha Givens in a shutout loss to the Demons.
