Go Titans. If they get hot now, a tournament bid could still happen (if they win the league). I'd love to see UM-MSU-UD all in the tournament, but right now they ALL have tons of work to do and this might not be the year for any of them. |

Speaking of UD basketball, I was looking at DeBusschere's stats the other day and it states that he went to Austin Catholic. Can someone tell me where this school was located? Thanks. |

On the northeast side just west of where Warren meets Mack, between those two streets, north of Grosse Pointe Farms. Currently there is a St. John outpatient facility there. |

If I'm not mistaken, most of Austin was used in the construction of the hospital. Austin closed in 1977. |

Austin sat empty for awhile before becoming WC3, or Wayne County Community. I believe it was the mid80s when the building was retrofitted to become a St. John assisted/nursing home. Went to many UD games in the late 70s. Remember Terry Duerod? (spelling) |

The pride of Highland Park High, Terry Duerod was no joke. He could (and did) light 'em up all the time. Played at U-D in the days when the Titans still featured some of metro Detroit's best high school ballers. He managed to last 4 years in the NBA with the Pistons, Celtics, Mavs, and Warriors. Last I heard, he was/is a Detroit firefighter. |

Somewhere in my collection of photos I have a 5 x 7 of several UDM players in action vs. EMU back in probably late 70s in a game at Bowen Fieldhouse (which is where EMU played before moving to the Convocation Center). Believe it is Terry Tyler or John Long. They have their back to me as I was taking photographs from the sideline. |

Dave DeBusschere was also a St. Clare of Montefalco alumnus, one of 6 or so athletes out of St. Clare that went on to play professional sports!! |

I know that one of those St. Clare alums was also Mike Peplowski who played at MSU and briefly for a few teams in the NBA and another was Chris Godfrey who played in the Super Bowl for the New York Giants. Who were the others? |
