When Colin Roberts had his football players toe the line for 45-yard shuttles, he had a pretty good idea how the race was going to end.
Drake Stoops would win.
This wasn’t guesswork for Roberts, then the strength and conditioning coach at Norman North High School. This was a near statistical certainty. Roberts charted the shuttle runs — 15 yards down, back and down again — and during Stoops’ final three years of high school, he ran 504.
He won 500.
“He was like a machine on those — bam, bam, bam,” said Roberts, now the strength and conditioning coach at Deer Creek.
