A week after watching his son's Norman North team fall in the Class 6A state title game, country music star Toby Keith watched the Class A game from the Ringling sidelines.
As the clock ticked off the final seconds, Gandy came over and thanked him for coming, and Keith congratulated him on the championship win.
“I've got a hunting and fishing ranch down there so I know a lot of the families of these guys,” Keith, wearing a Ringling hoodie, said. “It's a great bunch of small-town kids.”
