Tuesday, the Oklahoma State women’s soccer team presented Keke and Mwende Abai with cleats, balloons and other goodies for the hardships they dealt with after Saturday’s homecoming parade tragedy. Keke stood with crutches and a boot on his right leg, while Mwende had to wear a neck brace.
The two, members of the Stillwater Soccer Club and ball kids for the Cowgirl soccer team, laughed and played as if everything was perfectly fine.
