Funeral services for Geneva Tusing Blue were held Saturday, Jan. 3 at the All-Tribes Baptist Church in Geary with burial in the Geary Cemetery.

Services were under the direction of Huber-Benson Funeral Home.

Geneva died Dec. 28, 2025, at her home in El Reno. She was born Oct. 18, 1949, in Hinton. She was a secretary for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in the Farm and Ranch Program and a member of Welch Memorial Baptist Church, Geary.

A feverish second-half rally fell four points short as Okarche High School’s boys basketball team dropped a 97-93 shootout with Class 6A’s Southmoore in the seventh-place game of the 60th Annual Tournament of Champions.

“Even though we got beat, I was pleased with the way we played. I thought we battled two out of three days really well. 

“With the physicality of Class 5A and 6A schools, it was obviously better competition than we’ve played in a long time,” said Okarche head coach Aaron West.

El Reno High Schools boys basketball team will kick off a slate of 11 games in the month of January on Tuesday night with a road trip to Midwest City.

Seven of those games are on the road including trips to Anadarko and Shawnee for tournament play.

Hezakiya Satepauhoodle (15), Kason Haydon (3) and Jacob Nichols (5) will be key players for the 3-5 Indians.

Eryn Roman Nose (4), Juliana Thomas (2), Halli Ferguson (5) and Jaida Richardson (25) will play key roles as the 5-3 Indians return to the court Tuesday night in Midwest City.

Like the EHS boys squad, the girls will play 11 dates in the month of January, four of those inside Jenks Simmons Field House.
