In basketball, Dietsch displayed
that he was a capable field general
and was particularily effective with
a one-hand push shot. In softball,
Terry played with the runner-up
No-Names who went down to the
wire in a battle with the DeSotos
and the Brothers for the champion-
ship. In softball, he was best in
fielding, but he was also danger-
