The D-Town Diesel 2002
This is a story
bout the team from D-Town
They�re not really tall,
so they play low to the ground

They have lots of funny stories
that they use to explain
The way they got their
truly colorful nicknames

They�ve got players like Billy �Dead-arm�
Who serves a powerful ace
But after a swing his arm hangs there
like a corpse without a face.

There�s Chris who they call �Duck,�
but what he doesn�t get
Is they call him that cause when he swings, the players on the bench
yell �Duck! He�s gonna hit!�

The one that they call Magic
Is Magic with the serve
He floats it just above the net
The ball just seems to curve

But Drew and Bradley playing middle
Have super human powers
Because of all the blocks they have
They call them the twin towers

And as for Ryan and Andrew,
The twins that look about grade seven
Well, they call them the Twin Towers too,
But AFTER 9-eleven

And then there�s another sophomore�
He goes by Stinky Feet
Well� until the Hilliard tournament�
Now he�s two teeth Pete

And until you�ve seen the setter,
You haven�t seen them all,
After the trip to Westerville,
They call him �One-ball� Paul

They�ve got and exchange student
He comes from Brazil
I heard he had some trouble
Holding on to his thumbnail

The story goes that it got stuck
Up between two tooths
It really doesn�t make much sense to me
Why they call him Goose

There�s a midget outside hitter
I think they call him Whitey
But when he swings, the defense
Might as well just say good-nighty
Opposite him a Capricorn
His number forty-five
He dinks and dinks �til coach yells, �Sub!�
They stitches blind kids in the eye

Another kid plays everything
He hits, he sets, he blocks
He even recruits D-Town ladies
This year he landed quite a fox

Her brother played some volleyball
Till his teachers got in the loop
So they still have them a Garrabrant
but this one�s dating Schupp

And who could forget young Bob
Can this kid be for real?
MVP twice for JV
Varsity setter next year he�ll steal

And then there�s number 14
weighing in at 6�2
Intense and hard working�
There�s nothing this kid can�t do

At first they called him �Burly�
But soon changed it to �Ace�
Sometimes he even hits the ball
He�s not just a pretty face

And then there�s outside hitter Nate
Who�s short but still hits really great
And seldom ever dinks or fades
Excepting when it comes to grades

So that�s the team called Diesel
Their JV was 21-0
Before that fateful tournament match
With just one game to go

Five juniors and a sophomore
All 6 foot tall and higher
Still 21-1 ain�t bad
There�s still spark in their fire

And don�t forget the varsity
Whose record is deceiving
A break in the tradition
In their minds they were conceiving

And in 12 years of volleyball
A D-town Diesel streak
Was broken when they reached third round
They just did that last week.

So if you do to D-town
And want to see the Diesel
Just do this my volleyball friend
And please don�t call them Weasel
