OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A state appeals court has sided with former Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer in a legal dispute over an investment in a restaurant at Lake Hefner.

The Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals on Thursday upheld a trial court's decision to grant summary judgment in favor of Switzer.

Former Sooners wrestling coach Stan Abel and a former school wrestler sued Switzer in 2009 for $187,000 plus damages for their involvement in the Lighthouse Restaurant LLC at Lake Hefner in Oklahoma City.

Switzer and Abel became acquainted when both were successful coaches at Oklahoma. Abel led the Sooners to the NCAA wrestling title in 1974 and four second-place finishes during his 21 years as coach. Under Switzer, Oklahoma won AP football championships in 1974, 1975 and 1985.
