“Every one of the guys were friends,” Daugherty said. “It was a party time, a great time. I just remember the fellowship was wonderful.”
Adams’ favorite memory of his time on the team is making the winning shot to beat an Anderson team in a Four-State Area tournament. “Rusty (Haynes) had fouled out, so they put me in,” Adams said. “Anderson’s plan was to hold onto the ball and go into overtime, but I grabbed it out of the guy’s hands and made the shot. There was no doubt we would have lost that game without that.” The Tamko Roofers team dissolved in 1951 when several of the team members went into military service. A small group of those players went on to play with the Joplin Body & Trailer corporate team. Joplin performance The Harlem Globetrotters will perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Missouri Southern State University’s Leggett & Platt Athletic Center in Joplin. Tickets range from $16 to $70 a person, and may be purchased at the ticket office on the bottom floor of Billingsly Student Center or by visiting www.ticketmaster.com/promo/z8mlyv.
