| Oklahoma Sooners Football News: |
| Sleepy college students filed into a lone bus in the early-morning darkness of the Lloyd Noble Center parking lot Sunday.
Destination: Lawton and a new home for a Sooner family. Volunteers from the Oklahoma football and women's basketball teams accompanied by members of the spirit squads and OU Athletics Department staff headed to Comanche County to lend support to a Sooner family selected for ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The television show features local volunteers working together to build new homes for deserving families. In April of 2004, Army sergeant and long-time OU fan Gene Westbrook was hit by a mortar at an American camp mess hall in Baghdad, Iraq. The attack left Westbrook paralyzed. Then, last July, another accident shook the family. While en route to visit friends near Walters, Okla., the family van lost control, touched an oncoming vehicle, and flipped into a ditch. The accident left the Westbrooks' nine-year-old son, James, paralyzed and caused internal injuries to their daughter, who later lost a kidney. The day after the accident, Gene Westbrook suffered a stroke, leaving him with further damage to his right arm and some loss of memory. His wife, Peggy, had the daunting task of trying to rehabilitate both her husband and son and raising the rest of the family. |
