@MDPSSBT @JHAHoops @jhoopsamerica Berman makes the state tournament.

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

For the girls, they hope for revenge. Last year they carried an undefeated record to the championship game before a shocking defeat by JDS sent them home.

Games will be streamed online here…

@JHAHoops So, tonight is probably the biggest night ever in the history of one the greatest high school rivalries ever.

For those not familiar, the Hebrew Academy/Jewish Day School Rivalry (Berman/JDS) has been called the most intense in the world of Jewish high school sports.

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

For the boys, Berman looks to return to the title game (likely against SSFS for the 4th straight year) for a chance at their 1st repeat in history. Also, Alex August sits at 3,075 career points, 2nd in MD state history, but also 5 points from Yitzi Ribald’s Jewish school record.

@MDPSSBT @GPrepBasketball @SpringdaleMBB @DeMathaHoops @BruceKelley1 @CG_Basketball @standrewsbball @Coach__Laf @McNamaraHoops @GCSBBasketball @olgcbasketball Can you confirm that if @BermanCougars were to win their 1st round game against @SpringdaleMBB on Thursday night that their 2nd round game against @McNamaraHoops would be moved to Saturday night to accommodate their observance of the Jewish sabbath?

@JHAHoops @jhoopsamerica That game was already gonna be unbalanced, but with Agichtein out it would’ve been worse. Maybe they can reschedule for after his wrist is better.

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

@JHAHoops @jhoopsamerica There were close games where teams wasted 50+ seconds at a time, especially at the end.

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

@JHAHoops @jhoopsamerica This isn’t right. Wins and losses aren’t equal.

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

@JHAHoops @jhoopsamerica Zach Agichtein with 52.

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

@JHAHoops? I hear Atlanta will be there…

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

@JHAHoops Do you know the field for #Satran2025?

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

@diehardfanjamie @simmy_cohen At least 5 wins, could be 6. And they can probably only lose 1, barring a strange circumstance where it could be 2.

@RudyMezzy @simmy_cohen As somebody who has been to every LLWS since 2006, I would be in awe if Israel got to Williamsport.

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

@simmy_cohen @ZackDaniels67 If I’m Israel, my goal is making playoffs of the next tournament. That’s finishing top 6 out of 13 teams. Basically losing only 1 game in pool play out of the 3-4 they end up playing.

That is certainly possible, but the draw is random and teams vary wildly in quality.

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

@JHAHoops @jhoopsamerica How is it possible that this round of the playoffs takes two weeks even though there only four total games? I’ve never seen anything like this in any league of any kind.

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

@JHAHoops @jhoopsamerica True. Still interesting. Same thing with Waterbury.

[Nati Burnside @NatiBurnside]

@simmy_cohen Yeah… but who is this Eli Saul fellow?
