The basketball season opened without much early luck for the TI men’s team. Competing in the Montgomery County Synagogue League, the TI team (which includes a few players who belong to Temple Emanuel) dropped its first five games.
The top TI scorer in the early season was Leor Newman, one of the team’s bigger players. The team briefly benefitted from the play at point guard of Brandon Ehrlich during his winter college break.
The season runs until mid-March, and TI’s court foes in the nine-team circuit include B’nai Shalom of Olney, Beth El, Beth Shalom, Young Israel Shomrai Emunah, Shaare Tefila, Oseh Shalom and Temple Isaiah.
TI member Warren Berger is the team’s player-coach. He has a long-term contact to run the team.
