Hayes receives letter from Knight, Barrett suffering from broken leg Retired Kings Mountain police chief Bob Hayes is one of the biggest sports fans around, and he appreci- ates outstanding efforts by athletes and coaches. He's been big on football for years, and purchased seats at Erricson Stadium hortly after the Richardson family was awarded an NFL franchise in Charlotte. As a PSL holder he receives the monthly maga- zine “Carolina Panther Roar” and recently was reading the special feature titled “Quick Hits.” That's basically a profile on players in which each one is asked questions about his favorite food, movie, hobbies, etc. In a recent issue an answer by Kemp Rasmussen caught Hayes’ attention. Asked who he'd like to be reincarnated as, Rasmussen, _ former player at the University of Indiana, said “Bobby Knight.” Knight, one of the nation’s most successful and most controversial coaches, recently posted his 800th collegiate basketball career victory with Texas Tech. ‘Knight, who says what he thinks and has been known to get in players and offi- cials’ faces and throw a few temper tantrums (and chairs) | now and then, coached most of, those wicto- ries at Indiana before being relieved of his duties after a run-in with a student. Hayes clipped the article about Knight's 800th win and also sent him a copy of the Panther Roar, calling special attention to the quote by Rasmussen. “I've just always thought Bobby Knight was a great coach and that 800 wins is a milestone, and that he might get a kick out of someone saying he’d like to be rein- carnated as Bobby Knight,” Hayes said. Hayes recently received a letter from Knight noting his appreciation for Rasmussen’s remarks and Hayes’ support. It’s not the first time Hayes has communicated with famous coaches.

In the national cham- pionship game, Nebraska was trailing in the final sec- onds when they scored to cut the game deficit to one point. Nebraska only needed | to kick the extra point to achieve a tie and the National Championship, but Osborne elected to go for the win and a two-point conver- sion pass was incomplete, losing both the game and the national title. Osborne’s decision drew boos from all over the stadi- um and criticism from the press and fans all over the United States. But Hayes wrote him a let- ter supporting the call, because he felt players and coaches shouldnt work their butts off all week to settle for a tie. Osborne showed his appreciation of Hayes by replying to the let- ter. Osborne, who is now retired from coaching and is a U.S. Congressman, won several National Championships after that but the Cornhuskers, although still one of the best football teams in the nation, haven't competed for the National Championship lately and would probably love to be in position two win one with a two-point conversion. HM Kings Mountain High Booster Club President Tommy Barrett was quite an athlete during his heyday at Bethware and Kings Mountain high schools. From the first day he start- ed playing organized sports as a Little Leaguer, on through’ his high school baseball and basketball careers and even in adult basketball and softball leagues, he never suffered an injury. But a recent carp fishing trip to Midway Lake result- ed in a broken leg and sub- sequent surgery, and has Barrett on the sidelines (well actually, in bed) for about eight weeks. Barrett had already loaded most of his gear in his van and was within minutes of leaving the lake when he heard the cork pop on one of the fishing rigs he still had in the water. When he made a quick move to réel in the fish his foot hit the wet grass and his leg buckled under. He later found out it was broken in two places. It was a week later when he had the surgery and the pain is just now beginning to wear off, but he still has to stay off of it so he basical- ly stays in bed and watches TV. As much as he loves watching sports, that can get old very fast. Get well soon, Tommy, and don’t get hooked on soap operas.
