Tushka commemorated the schools first spring baseball state championship with a ring ceremony on Aug. 29. The Tigers took down Ketchum 3-2 on May 17,2025 to claim the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association Class 2A-II State Championship.

At the ceremony, every athlete on the state championship team received a mini state championship photo with a plate that said Class 2A-II State Champions, Tushka Tigers, the expected tradition and the athlete’s name. In addition to the trophy, each athlete received a photo of the team and a ring.

Engraved on the side of the ring is 'Live Action'. The slogan 'Live Action' was something the athletes came up with every time they would do something good in a game such as hit a double or steal a base. On the bottom of the ring 'Atoka County' is engraved and the two green stones on each side represent the two state championships in Tushka baseball history (2016 fall baseball). The top donors for the rings were Ameristate Bank and the McCall Family.
