OKLAHOMA CITY -- Darren Brown and Mason Dunn had a special guest with them in the skies of Oklahoma for Week 3 Friday Night Flights, Oklahoma Sooner great and Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims.

The trio made their first stop of the night in Lexington to see the Bulldogs and the Purcell Dragons face off as part of win-win week. Sims, always the crowd favorite, was asked to flip the coin at the start of the game as part of the festivities.

SkyNews9 HD next flew out to Newcastle where, once again, Sims got the reception that any Heisman Trophy winner should and made time for all of the fans.

Win-Win week is part of an effort to raise money for cancer research and awareness. You can find out more about it at www.okstudentscare.org
