Competing in boys tennis, basketball and lacrosse in the first year of the merger between Bloomfield Hills Andover and Bloomfield Hills Lahser high schools, Dylan Deitch was a tennis and basketball team captain. The basketball team played for a state championship. Dylan Deitch is now a freshman at the University of Michigan. He said he can't remember his father's actual Hall of Fame induction, but he does have great memories of attending the induction dinner several times during his child- hood. "And now it's come full circle with me getting this award:' the 18-year-old said. He said last year was a challenge because of the merger. "To be honest, it was difficult at the start:' he said. "Teams were mixed and matched together. It was a huge transition for everyone. "But we eventually came togeth- er with one common goal, to have the best season we can:' Dylan Deitch played four years of tennis, three years of basket- ball and one year of baseball and lacrosse in high school. Jeff Deitch, 53, was one of the country's top squash players. He says being in the Hall of Fame is special to him because he shares the honor with mentors and heroes. He said he looks forward to attending the induction dinner each year to meet the new induct- ees and enjoy the camaraderie with past honorees, who are rec- ognized at the dinner. Among the nearly 100 Hall of Fame inductees are Hank Greenberg and Bill Davidson and two family combinations: father and son Stuart and Storm Kirschenbaum and brothers Rick and Bruce Seid. "There have been so many wor- thy inductees. Unfortunately, some haven't been alive for their induc- tion, but it's still a special event for their families," Blatt said. "We're making every effort not to forget anyone:' Cocktails, dinner, tours of the Hall of Fame and a silent auction will be held from 5-6:45 p.m. Oct. 28 with the program and a dessert reception at 7 p.m. For ticket information, contact Blatt at (248) 592-9323 or dlblatt@ michiganjewishsports.org . ā‘ Please send sports news to stevestein502004@yahoo.com. 36 October 23 ā€¢ 2014
