ARKANSAS GEMS
Those darlings of the basketball court, the world famous “Arkansas Gems,” are heading this way. This zany, crazy female basketball team will oppose the high school men’s faculty at PCHS…
The attraction will keep you laughing from the first moment to the game-ending whistle. In addition, the “Gems” will offer shooting and ball handling that will be second to none. Also 30-foot jump shots, behind the back passes, fancy dribbling and comedy, too.
The faculty team will consist of Harold Crist, Kenny Vance, Ken Nottingham, Steve Barksdale, Ted Stewart, Bob Welder, Dick Groseclose, Bob Seaman, Skeeter Workman, Elmer Friel, Glen Wade, Sam Taylor, Tom Plumley, Jerry Buzzard and Jesse Peck…
