Owasso, Okla., Coach Bill Blankenship first saw Courtre Alexander on the basketball court, not the football field.
"I was very impressed," Blankenship said. "This was a guy with light feet. He was able to play in the paint. When I used to recruit and scout, watching them play basketball could tell you a lot about their athleticism."
