NORMAN, Okla. -- Nervous and timid, Timothy Young whispered the chorus of his favorite song as his brother steered their car through the stillness of a Sunday afternoon in Oklahoma.
"Candy girl, you are my world," he mumbled in a soft tone, repeating the lyrics of "Candy Girl," the 1983 hit by New Edition.
The 7-year-old usually rides shotgun with his big brother, Oklahoma basketball star Trae Young, to the family's after-church lunch spot in Norman. But that morning, after the previous night's loss against rival Oklahoma State, he got stuck in the back seat because a cameraman and a reporter rode with them on the 10-minute drive to Louie's restaurant.
