Toby’s Son Plays for Team USA

Toby Keith and his friend Roger Clemens were in San Antonio last month as Toby’s 14-year-old son Stelen played on Team USA’s under-16 high school team in a game against Team Canada.  Also on the team, Snoop Dog’s son Cordell. 

Toby told Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton he’s very proud of his son: “Watching him out there, with 35 or 36 of the best high school under-16 year olds in the nation. There were some boys who were 6-9, and Stelen’s 6-1, about 240 pounds, there were some jokers who looked like they’re ready for the NFL.  I threw him to the wolves, and he came out alright.”  Toby told Lon that he will begin his summer tour a little earlier this year so he can spend time with his son next fall: “My son will be on the 10th grade football team, so I want to be around for that, and so we’ll start the tour earlier.”

At the same time, Toby has been working on his daughter Krystal’s debut album: “I was in Nashville just a few days ago, finished the last recordings just a few days ago.  She had her first two live shows this past weekend.  It was her first two shows on her own with a band, where she wasn’t just playing with dad’s band.  She had to conduct her own band and lead the audience.  She did wonderful.  I told Krystal if she graduated from college, I’d help her out.  She graduated, and now she’s ready to go out and have some fun at this.” By the way, Toby’s daughter Krystal got married in October 2010.
