NORMAN — Cade Horton’s cell phone lit up with a familiar text message Sunday evening in San Diego as he wrapped up a huge baseball game.
“Is it football season yet?”
Horton, Norman High School’s super-talented two-sport star, could finally give football coach Rocky Martin the answer he longed for all summer. Yes, it was finally time for football.
Except Horton had to fly home Monday, which meant he missed the opening practice of his senior season. Such is the life of a high-profile baseball player who’s also special with a football in his hands.
“Baseball’s over,” Horton said following Tuesday’s practice.
