Duncan Demuth didn’t know about it until he saw the bronze sculpture of a reverent, mournful cowboy in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
As Demuth prepares for his first Remember the Ten men’s basketball game at Oklahoma State, coach Mike Boynton is teaching him and his teammates to never forget.
Members of the Cowboy basketball organization flew back to Stillwater after a road loss to Colorado on Jan. 27, 2001, but 10 men didn’t return.
Their airplane crashed, and those 10 individuals died: Kendall Durfey, Bjorn Fahlstrom, Nate Fleming, Will Hancock, Daniel Lawson, Brian Luinstra, Denver Mills, Pat Noyes, Bill Teegins and Jared Weiberg.
