here was a touching scene before the OSU vs. Texas Tech basketball game Saturday at Gallagher-Iba Arena.  OSU football players Justin Blackmon, Brandon Weeden, Richetti Jones, Brodrick Brown and Cooper Bassett helped four childhood cancer patients shoot baskets to raise money for Coaches vs. Cancer. They put 60 seconds on the clock and each player and child got a basketball and fired up as many shots as possible. Each basket earned $60.00 for Coaches vs. Cancer.  With the voice of the Cowboys Dave Hunziker calling out each bucket, the participants drilled 53 baskets and raised over $3,000.00 for the cause. They were also responsible for over 3-thousand smiles.  Congratulations to those Cowboys involved for raising money and touching lives.
