THE HL PLEDGE

"I pledge allegiance to the game of the United States of America, and to the culture for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and basketball for all."

CHECKING INTO THE GAME IS #25 THE STATE OF ARKANSAS:

The twenty-fifth state to be admitted to the Union, Arkansas formally joined the United States on June 15, 1836, and was the ninth state to secede from the Union. Its current constitution, adopted in 1874, is the fifth used in the state's history.

BASKETBALL IS A STATE OF MIND IN THE STATE OF MINE (AR).

Basketball, a uniquely American invention in the history of sports, is one of the most popular sports in Arkansas, both for participants and for spectators. Because basketball can be played either indoors or outdoors, and because it requires less equipment than most team sports, basketball rapidly acquired the attention and affection of many Arkansans. Most high schools and colleges in the state field competitive basketball teams, and the state has produced several high-caliber professional basketball players.
