About
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 winning streak in Boys sports. SAR now sits atop the West at 5-1 with Ramaz behind them at 4-1. Some added insight on that last Ramaz loss, it was to the same SAR Sting in the 2022 semifinals. So for those curious, the last time that Ramaz lost a regular season contest? Pre-covid.
In Boys Softball, DRS made a statement this past Friday dominating Nishmas HaTorah in both contests to improve to 4-1 and drop Nishmas to 3-3. The Wildcats will gear up to face their biggest challenge so far when they meet May this coming Friday. May sits at 2-0 and will start the heart of their schedule with either a win that could propel them toward a division crown, or give DRS a heads-up in that race. Out West, Hillel stays undefeated drubbing Frisch this past Sunday to improve to 4-0. They'll square off with Shaare Torah tomorrow night, but the real contest for them will be this coming Sunday when they host Central division leading YDE, also at 4-0.
In Girls hockey, a mad 36 hour stretch saw quite a few changes in the top 6 slots. Sunday saw the Frisch Cougars extend their lead in the West with a 5-1 win over Heschel who entered the day in the 2nd slot in the West. Meanwhile, Frisch's rival Ramaz took a 6-1 victory over SKA to improve to 4-1-0-1 and last night Ma'ayanot shutout East leading HAFTR 2-0. So the West leading Cougars are now a point away from clinching the Top seed in the playoffs and can do so against HAFTR who at 4-1-0-1 look to have the East all but put away themselves. Behind Frisch, Ramaz jumps to 2nd place, Ma'ayanot to 3rd and Heschel drops to 4th, only one point ahead of SAR and 2 ahead of Kushner with all teams still in play for the 4 wildcard spots over the next week.
Finally, we are very proud to announce that the Martin Weiselberg Memorial Junior High Hockey Tournament is back and ready to roll with its 18th tournament on June 15th in HAFTR. Middle School teams will do battle in the longest-running hockey tournament in the Yeshiva Leagues while raising money for Hatzolah. Of course this also means the return of the amazing memorabilia raffle, which has seen items signed by present and future hall of famers, including Gordie Howe, Mark Messier and new goal-scoring king Alex Ovechkin. We will announce teams, prizes and schedules over the next few weeks on our website at MWTournament.com.
And that was your Tuesday Morning JM in the AM Sports Update, I'm Elliot Weiselberg
