Yeshiva League Sports Update

Thanks Nachum! Straight ahead on your Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, six games go to overtime across both JV and Varsity hockey, creating some interesting marks on the leaderboard, Ramaz and Frisch battle at the top of Varsity Basketball's Western conference and Magen David pulls DRS from the ranks of undefeated and into a mess in JV Basketball's East. All that and more, coming right up. Good Morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. We start out in JV Basketball where Magen David bounced back from a heavy beatdown by HANC to defeat the DRS Wildcats 61-55. As a result, DRS drops to 3-1 and into a mix of 5 teams with 1 loss at the top of the East. Presently that HANC team leads the pack at 3-0 following a win over Rambam, but behind the Hurricanes, Flatbush sits at 5-1, taking two wins this week, DRS and North Shore at 3-1 and, Barkai and Magen David at 2-1. YDE sits in the mix at 2-2 after a win over HAFTR. It appears that the playoff combatants will come from those teams as the botto

Thanks Nachum! We are more than halfway through the month of November and already some major matchups have sent shockwaves through the early season. Straight ahead on the JM in the AM Sports Update, HAFTR throws JV Hockey into a storm, Varsity hockey's West is breaking into playoff form already and Frisch varsity basketball looks to end November on a better note than it began. All that and more, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. Starting out in Varsity Hockey where a divide is working itself out in the West. TABC, SAR, Frisch, MTA and Kushner have all established themselves ahead of the pack. The five teams have a combined 3 losses and have gone 6-1 over the last week, including MTA taking two wins over Flatbush and Magen David and TABC taking two wins over Hillel and JEC. The only one of the teams to take a loss on the week was Kushner, a 5-2 defeat to HAFTR, who is in the running at the top of the East. Contrast that with the remaining 4 teams in the West who all have 4 losses each.

Thanks Nachum! Welcome back everyone to another season of the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update! The 2024-2025 season is off and rolling and we'll break down the first two weeks of November straight ahead. Good Morning, back for yet another yeshiva league season with you, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. We'll start out in Varsity Hockey and nothing like a good "Route 4 Rivalry" matchup to kick things off in the early season, unless you're a Frisch fan. The TABC Storm opened up what they hope is a rebound season, coming off of a defeat in last year's final with a 5-1 victory over the Cougars, Senior Aiden Rauzman with the hat trick for the Stom. TABC is currently 2-0 and in a tie with Kushner and SAR. The Sting took a key victory last night at home over HANC 3-1 to keep clean in the loss column. Scoreless into the 3rd period the two teams traded quick goals in the period and remained tied until Senior Bennett Burgida put home the game winner for SAR. The early season has not been kind to

Thanks Nachum! Before we begin, I want to take a moment to wish a happy 7th wedding anniversary to my loving and amazing wife Amanda. Straight ahead on the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, we finish up the indoor sports with a repeat champion then head out to the baseball field a for a three-peat champion, each by the same two schools, and two other schools spoil each other's repeat bids in Softball. All that and more, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. The final game of the indoor sports season for us to report sees the SAR Sting repeating as the 2024 Boys JV Soccer champions. SAR went through the season and post season undefeated, knocking off Frisch 13-8 behind 6 goals by Noam Davies. The offensive output in the final was typical Sting, as the team went through their 10 games averaging just a little over 14 goals on their way to the crown. Moving outdoors where things were a bit better for the Frisch Cougars who complete the 3-peat in Baseball, defea

Thanks Nachum! Straight ahead on the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, we near the end of the 2024 Spring sports year, and have crowned most of our indoor champions in the process. Boys Volleyball, Girls Hockey and Boys and Girls Varsity Soccer have reached their conclusion and the remaining sports are right behind them. All that and more, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. We'll start out in Soccer where the Ma'ayanot Rapids pull off the upset and stifle the dominance of the defending champions. The Rapids edged Frisch 2-1 not only ending Frisch's chance at a repeat, but also puts an end to Frisch's 21 game win streak, with their last loss coming almost 2 years to the day in the 2022 semifinals. The win marks Ma'ayanot's first championship since 2019 and their 4th in the last 10 years. Moving over to Boys Soccer where Kushner Cobras are kings for the first time in 7 years following their 3-1 victory over Ramaz. The battle between the 3rd and 4th seeds in the West

Thanks Nachum! Straight ahead on the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, Ramaz looks to Ram through several finals, upsets litter the knockout stages in all sports and mostly familiar names find their way through on the diamond. All that and more, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. We open serve on today's update with Boys Volleyball, where we have an upset on the way to the finals. Two days after knocking off HAFTR in straight sets in the quarterfinals, the SAR Sting upend the East top seed Flatbush Falcons in straight sets, 21-13, 14 and 16 to advance to their third straight final where they will meet up with the winner of TABC and the season's freight train, Ramaz in their contest on Wednesday night. Should Ramaz win, it would set up a rematch of last year's final and would also pit Ramaz against the last team to hand them a defeat. Moving over to soccer where the upsets continue. Within a matter of minutes of each other on Sunday night, Bergen County saw two surp

Thanks Nachum! We have reached the end of May, which signals the beginning of the end to the 2023-2024 school year. Straight ahead on the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, a horrific week for teams East of NYC in soccer, familiar foes get set to meet up in girls varsity hockey and a dominating upset in girls softball. All that and more, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. We'll start out in Varsity soccer, where it was a terrible week for the East, as neither Boys nor Girls soccer had a quarterfinal winner outside of the Western Conference. In Boys Varsity dominant wins by Frisch, Kushner and TABC eliminated HANC, North Shore and Rambam, respectively, and, in a major upset, West #4 seed Ramaz went into the Greenhouse and knocked off East champ DRS 4-3 to advance. The semifinals will see TABC host Ramaz this coming Sunday and Frisch and Kushner within the week. The Frisch-Kushner contest will also occur between their female counterparts, as the Girls Varsity playoffs

Happy Yom Ha'atzmaut everyone! It's Mid-May which means the continuation of the Spring sports season and a ramp up to the postseason. Straight ahead on the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, Boys Soccer experiences a logjam while Girls Soccer becomes very clear, the top seed in Girls Varsity Hockey comes down to one night, and in Boys Volleyball, Ramaz suffers a loss...of sorts...Good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. We start out in boys volleyball where Ramaz is no longer perfect. No, the Rams are still undefeated, having knocked off SAR this past week to improve to 7-0 and clinch the Western Conference, however, the contest marks the first time this year that Ramaz has not swept a match. Ramaz cruised in the first 2 sets against the Sting before dropping the third set 21-15, ending a 22-set win streak dating back to the 2nd set of the finals last year, where they faced SAR. The Rams will now go from one matchup of undefeateds to another, as they face Flatbush tomorrow night wh

Thanks Nachum! Straight ahead on the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, Frisch continues their dominance on the hardball rubber, Flatbush soars into the conversation on the Volleyball board and Frisch hands Ma'ayanot their first loss of the season in Girls Soccer. All that and more, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. We've covered every sport so far this Spring season, with the exception of Baseball. Thus far, the diamond has belonged to the defending champs and this week only served to widen the gap between Frisch, last year's runners up SAR and everyone else. The Cougars went 2-0 this past week, defeating Heschel and MTA by a combined 18-1 and are now 3-0, tied with SAR who took wins over Hillel and TABC themselves. The two teams are the only Western Conference squads without a blemish. DRS joins them at 3-0 in the East, but its clear that we are potentially headed for a championship rematch between two schools who have dominated the Spring over the last few years. Other sco

Thanks Nachum! Welcome back everyone to the JM in the AM Sports Update as we kick off our coverage of the 2024 Spring Sports season. For the next few weeks, we will bring to you all of the action in soccer, boys volleyball, girls hockey and the diamond sports. Straight ahead, Rambam takes flight in boys soccer, Ramaz Boys Volleyball extends their dominance, but of course, we can't totally move forward without running down Saracheck. Good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. We'll kick off at the top with the biggest competition in all of Yeshiva League sports, the 2024 Red Saracheck Memorial Basketball Tournament. 21 teams converged on Yeshiva University for the last and notably the best basketball of the school year. The action kicked off Wednesday night as two Yeshiva League teams, DRS and Frisch met up in a first-ever play-in game, which saw the Wildcats advance into the tournament round. Of the seven Yeshiva League teams in the field, three, TABC, Flatbush and league champion Magen David

We have reached the end of the 2023-2024 Winter sports season! Straight ahead on the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, two basketball championships highlighted by bitter rivalries and divisional pride. All that and more coming up, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. The Yeshiva League reached the conclusion of its version of March Madness this past Sunday as four teams converged onto the Max Stern Athletic Center on the Campus of Yeshiva University to crown the 2023-2024 JV and Varsity Basketball Champions. The JV finale kicked off the day with All-West foes Frisch and SAR meeting up in what had become a championship staple showdown in the mid- 2010s. The first half was a close affair that saw Isaac Stepner drain a buzzer-beater three to give the Cougars a 7 point lead at the break. The third quarter would see a changing of the tide, though as SAR racked off a 16-5 run capped by a buzzer beater three of SARs by Evan Goldberg and the Sting would barely look back as they rolled to a 59-47 victory.

Thanks Nachum! Two more championships have been handed out with the Winter sports finale only days ahead of us. Straight ahead on the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, three hockey powerhouses meet up on Championship Sunday and a near major upset results in a thrilling semifinal in varsity basketball. All that and more coming up, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. This past Sunday saw JV and Varsity Hockey crown its champions, and for those following this season, the winners were no surprise, although the games themselves proved to be something different. Varsity was on the menu first this past Sunday in Frisch as the top two teams and perennial contenders, DRS and TABC did battle. TABC looked to reverse a lopsided loss to the Wildcats in DRS during the regular season and for most of the game, looked like the more aggressive team, but the Wildcats would not break and found themselves in the driver’s seat following a Max Pockriss 2nd period goal. Doniel Austein held down the DRS net

Thanks Nachum! They say that good things come to those who wait and here on the JM in the AM Sports Update, we bring you all of the good and the great that is the Yeshiva League Playoffs! Straight ahead, the Winter Sports Regular Season is over and the playoffs lie directly ahead of us. We'll run down the last week and get you ready for the next 4. All that and more, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg Varsity Hockey certainly had its intrigue as half of the seeds were not determined until Monday night. In the East, DRS finishes with the top seed after avenging their only loss on the season to HAFTR and will be joined by HANC as the two seed, HAFTR at the 3, Magen David at the 4 and Rambam in 5th. Magen David takes the 4th seed despite taking two losses this week, as their loss to Flatbush came in Overtime 9-8. Joe Catton netted his 32nd goal of the season to give the Falcons the win, but by going to OT, Magen David got the point that they needed to advance. In the West, TAB
