Basketball Squad Ready to Battle Other Congregations.........posted Dec 6, 2008
Tikvat Israel is gearing up for its 12th season of play in the Montgomery County Synagogue Men's Club Basketball League.
The season runs from January through March, and TI will play a game every Sunday morning at either Blake HS or Magruder HS. The one-hour games start at 8:30, 9:30 or 10:30 a.m.
TI is seeking a few new players to join the 2008 holdovers, who include the following: Warren Berger (who doubles as coach), Marc Schneider, Bruce Ginsburg, Will Hochman, Fred Wagner, Damon Ehrlich, Mark Waldman, Neil Kram and Lior Golan.
"We especially want you if you are young, tall or quick!" Berger quipped. "It seems that while most teams are getting younger and taller overall, we seem to be getting older and shorter."
TI usually finishes near the bottom of the conference standings, but the coach says that fact doesn't diminish the fun. "Last year, we even won a playoff game," he said.
Members of the team must be dues-paying members of the synagogue or have children enrolled in the Early Childhood Center or the TI Religious School. Players must be 18 or older.
If you would like to join the roster, contact Berger at warren.berger@gmail.com or 301-460-8736.
