Funeral services for Yvonne Marie Phelps of Cogar/Minco were held Friday at Cogar United Methodist Church. Services were under the direction of Huber-Reynolds Funeral Home of Minco.

Yvonne died Dec. 23, 2019, at St. Anthony’s Hospital in El Reno. She was born April 13, 1938, in Fort Sill. Yvonne grew up in Chickasha, graduating from Chickasha High School in 1955.

She was a homemaker and had worked as an executive assistant in the state Senate for 15 years. She then started a wedding catering business.

Funeral services for David Leslie Pawpa will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Concho Community Hall. Burial will be in the Concho Cemetery under the direction of Huber-Benson Funeral Home.

Mr. Pawpa died Dec. 19, 2019, at Mercy Health Center in Oklahoma City. He was living at the Veterans Center in Clinton where he was born July 17, 1951.

David was an Army veteran serving in Vietnam and worked as a roofer.

Holding a two-game losing streak and facing a 13-day layoff between games, the last thing El Reno High School’s boys basketball team wanted was to enter the holiday break with another loss.

That sense of urgency showed on the court from the opening tipoff as the Indians overcame a couple of first-period ties to post an 83-70 win over the Weatherford Eagles.

On the eye-test scale, last week’s top 10 matchup between El Reno High School’s girls basketball team and Weatherford was sloppy as the teams combined for 49 turnovers.

The difference was the Eagles, ranked No.9 in Class 4A, were able to overcome those miscues with 46 percent shooting – a mark the Indians could not duplicate.

The end result was a 52-35 win for Weatherford which remains undefeated on the season. El Reno, ranked fourth in Class 5A, slipped to 2-4 on the year with its fourth straight setback.
