OKLAHOMA CITY — Amid tears and hugs from their teammates, El Reno High School’s senior players bid farewell to their football careers Friday night after a 29-16 win over Western Heights.

Western Heights fumbled on the opening play of the game. El Reno recovered to set up their first scoring drive. Junior tailback Wes Brown and senior quarterback Ross Carter combined to run the ball 16 yards on five carries. Carter pushed the ball over the goal line on a five-yard rush.

Alex Weaver’s point-after try made the score 7-0, less than two minutes after the game’s opening kick off.

El Reno City Council took a pass on hikes to utility rates and will form a task force to look at the city’s sanitation operation.
