Cherith was in fourth grade and Cordell was in fifth. âWe were just friends up until [Cherithâs] sophomore year [of high school], we shared the same friends, went to the same places, but one day after football practice I was standing on the wall in the gym talking to my friend and I saw her run by and I said, âdo you want to go out with meâ, and she looked at me like I had three eyes. It took four or five rounds before I was able to get her to take me seriously.â
