Dusty and Mark Tetzlaff

[JackJD]

Tonight's Watertown Public Opinion's sports section has a great feature story...here's the headline and the opening to the story:

Tetzlaffs: Son of former SDSU great opts to continue basketball career at USD

At 6-foot-7, Dustin Tetzlaff is used to casting a shadow instead of being enveloped by somebody else’s.

The 2009 Watertown High School graduate departed for Vermillion this week to begin preparing for what he hopes will be a notable college basketball career at the University of South Dakota.

The story recaps some highlights of Mark's career at SDSU. He's still the all-time leader in scoring, rebounding, field-goal percentage. MVP at the National Tourney when SDSU was runnerup, losing by one-point.

I'm not sure if this link will work for the entire story...you have to register (no charge) for the PO...I was able to access the story without signing up but it may not be available for long. LINK

Hats off to the Watertown Public Opinion sports department for doing a great story. I think the Tetzlaff family is a very gifted family. It would have been nice to see Dusty as a Jack, but I guess that was not meant to be.

Interesting pic to go along with the article.

Perhaps someone could explain how Dusty is 1 inch taller, yet appears to be about the same height or a little shorter than his dad?

Re: Dusty and Mark Tetzlaff

I liked the article. It would have been fun to see him play at SDSU but hope he does well for USD.

Re: Dusty and Mark Tetzlaff

If Dusty does well at USD, SDSU fans who watched his dad will enjoy watching the kid play. There's going to be special connection with the son of one of the all-time great Jackrabbits. Having watched Dusty in high school and being acquainted with the family, I know I'll watch for his stats after every game and I hope he achieves great success.

Creative math from the Department of Sports Mathematics (DOSM). The same math that has had Shaq at a constant 290 lbs. for 15 years. DOSM is a speciality field in which a 390-foot homerun becomes 410 after five years, 430 after 15, and the longest homerun ever hit after 40.
