Getting exactly what head coach Tom Cobble predicted, El Reno High School’s football team got its nose bloodied a few times before swinging back in a 30-12 loss to Star Spencer.

The 18-point setback opened up the 2008 preseason for the Indians. It was the first of four Friday night home outings for EHS, which hosts Noble this week in its second preseason game. El Reno plays Woodward and Guthrie at Memorial Stadium to kick off the regular season.
