Yeshiva League Sports Update

Thanks Nachum, With Pesach break over, the Spring seasons are winding their way down toward the playoffs. Straight ahead on Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, Varsity Girls Hockey sees a 36 hour shakeup out West, Division leaders collide this coming weekend in Boys Varsity Softball and the longest current win streak in Yeshiva League boys sports is no more. All that and more straight ahead, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. We start off today's update with a Jeopardy question. The category: Boys Volleyball, Answer: June 12, 2022. The correct question: When was the last time that the Ramaz Rams suffered a loss? Or...it was the correct answer until this past Sunday. The Rams entered their contest with the SAR Sting riding a 24 game winning streak. In the majority of those contests, Ramaz was the recipient of several sweep victories. On this day, the tables would turn and the Sting would sweep Ramaz 21 to 12, 14 and ultimately 18 to put an end to the longest active

Thanks Nachum, Spring is in full swing and all sports are officially underway. Straight ahead on Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, the defending varsity, softball champs open the season on a run, two championship contenders put on a classic in Boys Varsity Soccer and Solomon Schecter storms to the top of the Volleyball boards. All that and more, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. One of the many great things about Spring Sports is that we get to start talking about teams that don't usually get much positive coverage during the Winter Season, and in some cases, no coverage at all. One of the teams that we don't get to talk about at all is Netzach Hatorah. The Knights, not a winter sport participant, made everyone take note last year with their dominance on the softball diamond, climbing all the way to their first school championship. The 2025 season would start off with more of the same. The Knights took two wins this week, reaching double-digit runs in both contests, defeatin

hanks Nachum, No fooling folks, it's April as the Yeshiva League turns the corner into Spring. But first, straight ahead on Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, the Yeshiva League holds court at the 2025 Red Saracheck Tournament. All that and more, good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. From beginning to end, the 2025 Red Saracheck Tournament held an extraordinary amount of suspense, excitement and, of course, upsets. The Granddaddy of all Yeshiva League Basketball took place this weekend at the Max Stern Athletic Center on the campus of Yeshiva University with 21 teams vying for the most prestigious title and for the first time in a long time Yeshiva League teams were in command of the action for the Tier I and Tier II championships...just not the ones that would be believed. The afternoon session on Monday started out with the Tier II championship featuring two highly ranked teams, semifinalist North Shore and league-Champion DRS Wildcats, both teams were relegated to

Thanks Nachum! The playoffs continue on as we March toward the championships. Straight ahead on the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, the first of our Winter championships are set, nail-biters across the board in basketball and DRS and SAR may as well just consider this a rivalry week. All that and more, straight ahead. Good morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. The first championship games are set, as Girls Varsity Basketball will have an all-West affair this Sunday following two nail-biter semifinals. The defending champion Frisch Cougars will return to defend their crown following a 53-50 win over East top seed North Shore. Standing in their way, though, will be the only team to defeat them this year. The West top seed SAR Sting needed overtime to knock off the defending runner-ups SKA Sonics 58-56. SAR comes in with two wins over Frisch this season, but the Cougars have been to the big game before and that could be the great equalizer. In fact, the Cougars will hope for not one

Good morning and welcome back to the stretch run of the 2024-2025 Winter Sports Season. Straight ahead on this edition of the JM in the AM Sports Update, a ton of movement in the postseason brackets. We'll let you know who is in, who is out, and what to look for in the upcoming last week of all regular seasons. All that and more, good Morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. We'll start in Varsity Basketball where HAFTR after going 2-5 in the first half of the season has worked their way back to clinch a playoff spot after a 22 point mashing of Rambam last night. The Rambam loss eliminates the Ravens and sets up the bottom of the East bracket as #6 HAFTR and #5 YDE will go on the road. DRS will earn the #1 seed with North Shore as the front-runner in the 2 spot and Magen David and Flatbush hosting first round contests after their losses last night, seeding to be determined. Out West, TABC and MTA are virtual locks for the byes while SAR and Hillel will host first round contests against either Ramaz who has

Straight ahead on this edition of the Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, as we head into winter break, varsity hockey crowns a new goal scoring king. All that and more, good Morning, I'm Elliot Weiselberg. It's been nearly two decades since the goal scoring record in the varsity hockey league last fell. In that time a small handful of people have reached the 30-goal plateau in sight of the mark. Two players came close last year, one of them finally succeeded, and for the first time in Yeshiva League history, the 40-goal plateau is in sight. The Flatbush Falcons kept their hopes at a First-round bye alive with a win over Solomon Schechter Thursday night. But, the story of the evening, was Joe Catton etching his name into the Yeshiva League record books. As a Junior, Joe Catton came within a few goals of breaking the scoring record. This year, Catton not only eclipsed the mark, breaking the record and finishing the game with his current total at 39 goals, but Catton has done so in only 11 co
