Calls for victory over Taylor County to get even with Clem!

Ben Arnold writes:
So impressed with the Adair Co Indians, just outstanding! Brings back memories from over half a century ago; same situation Adair in Regional final against Taylor Co, the winner going to the State. Angela Loy Cook just posted this morning a photo of me and Harry Loy (her much loved father). Harry was our leader and best player and we were up against the great Clem Haskins of Taylor. The game tonight reminds me of some details. Because of their focus on Harry I got more shots than usual I think. In the last minute I missed 2 shots I should have hit and we lost by 3 points! I need revenge, so boys get them tonight! Later I shared with Clem that had i hit those shots it might have had an important impact on both of us and not for the good. He would have missed his exposure at the State and I might have over interpreted our success and missed Centre College. I still have Harry's note in my Annual, "when you graduate from Centre you will have more than Clem". Harry was a great guy and so many miss him. --Ben Arnold

Harry Truman Loy and Ben Arnold in HS days



2017-03-07 - Columbia, KY - Photo from Dr. Ben Arnold. Harry Truman Loy, left, and Ben Arnold, with trophies awarded by the Rotary Club in their senior year of high school, when Adair County High School ran into the Clem Haskins in the championship of the 5th Region Tournament. Clem prevailed. Loy later became one of the leading Kentucky Educators. Arnold attended Centre College and later became a leading inventor and scientist. And Clem Haskins was an All-American, a pro basketball player, and NCAA Division I College Coach, finally to reach the epitome of South Central Kentuckydom, a gentleman farmer, addressed as "Mr. Clem" or "Mr. Haskins." Though careers turned out great, Dr. Arnold still wants Adair County to beat Taylor County tonight to get even with Haskins for that season ending defeat.
