A few days before he appears before the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Associationās board of directors, David Cornwell is confident.
āVery confident,ā the Norman North quarterback said. āWeāve got a great case. It meets the criteria of the constitution. āIād be confused and hurt if they didnāt approve it.ā ...
In late summer 2011, Cornwellās mother, Debbie, couldnāt sleep and dropped more than 20 pounds in less than a month. Sheād battled a thyroid condition for nearly 20 years and thought her symptoms were unrelated.
While the Cornwells, in an interview where they were accompanied by an attorney and a public relations specialist, declined to go into specifics about Debbieās illness, it took several months before doctors figured out how to manage the illness.
āIt was such an unexpected, sudden illness,ā Debbie said. āItās like a 70-percent mortality rate and I survived. It hits so fast that by the time they figure it out, youāre usually dead. Iām very thankful to be here and be healthy.ā
The illness began in July and stretched to around October, keeping Cornwell from attending public school. Instead, he took homeschool courses and helped care for his mother, especially when his father was away on business.
Later in the semester, Cornwell took a mission trip to Mali.
According to David, if he's able to pass an English course over the summer, his plans are to be an early enrollee.
