Examples of Terry in a Sentence

1. Aaron Henry:

   Detroit Mercys last win over a Top 10 team on the road was in 1979 at Marquette when the Titans had future NBA players, including Earl Cureton and the late Terry Duerod. Gabe Brown scored 16 points and Joey Hauser added 10 points for the Spartans, who leaned on Watts in the second half as he scored 12 points and had all four of his assists without a turnover. He was dynamite, scoring and getting guys open shots.

2. Bill Cassara:

   No one would ever talk about the Manson murders in front of Terry, terry was a very paranoid person. He did not like to be around crowds. He certainly didn’t like being recognized. If there was an event for Doris, he always went through the proper channels to hire seven deputies and a sergeant to provide security. Hewould tell us, ‘I want you guys to be in every shot taken of Doris.’ I remember for one event, he asked me to escort her for a luncheon because public events just made him very uncomfortable.

3. Liam Gray:

   With a candidate like Terry Namkung on the ticket, this seat becomes immediately competitive for Republicans, we saw last November how dissatisfied Virginians are with far left policies, especially when it comes to education. Rep. Bobby Scott, as Chairman of the Committee on Education, has a lot to answer for. Under Bobby Scott watch we’ve seen radicalized school curriculums, unnecessary shutdowns, and plummeting performance in our schools.

4. Glenn Youngkin:

   There is a stark contrast on the ballot this fall, there are Virginians clearly saying – Republicans, Independents and Democrats – that we will not go back to the tired old policies Terry McAuliffe represents.

5. Mandy Grunwald:

   The reaction in our party implies that it's a zero-sum game : We only talk about Donald Trump or we never talk about Donald Trump. We're in the' and' zone. People want to talk about the economy and what's happening in people's lives, and all kinds of stuff, but you just can't ignore this. It's that sense that you have to choose, it's one or the other : Because Terry McAuliffe didn't win, and Terry McAuliffe talked about Donald Trump, that's the end of it. That's nonsense.
