Cushing High School has named its football field O'Dell Field in honor of a man who meant so much to them. A star athlete on his own, a veteran of World War II and Korea, a coach beyond coaches, and a motivational speaker with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, he was an amazing person. His obituary link shown below is well worth reading.
