Welcome to Bartlesville ARea Sports; see top stories below

We are dedicated specifically to covering local athletics in the Bartlesville, Oklahoma area, including Washington County and parts of Osage, Nowata and Montgomery (Kan.) counties.

This website is proudly dedicated to the memory of our co-founder and longtime local sports personality, Mike Tupa (1956–2026), whose passion for storytelling shaped the standard of sports journalism in our community. Award-winning photographer Becky Burch, renowned for her action and human-interest shots, continues the mission they started together to provide much of the content.

Our intent remains to provide a free site where readers can find quality, timely coverage, and where athletes and their families can easily preserve these memories for electronic scrapbooks.
