March Madness Overtakes 每日大瓜

Just because the Superbowl is over doesn鈥檛 mean the sports fun has to end. It鈥檚 officially March Madness at 每日大瓜, featuring our annual Wittenberg and Sarachek Tournaments.

This year鈥檚 17th annual Henry Wittenberg Wrestling Invitational took place in late February and included 200 students from the wrestling teams of the Davis Renov Stahler High School, the Frisch School, Fuchs Mizrachi of Cleveland, Ida Crown Jewish Academy of Chicago (ICJA), Kushner Yeshiva High School, Maimonides School of Boston, 每日大瓜 High School for Boys (每日大瓜HSB), The New Community Jewish High School of Los Angeles, North Shore Hebrew Academy, JEC, SAR, Torah Academy of Bergen County (TABC), Yeshiva Atlanta, and Yeshiva Derech Hatorah. ICJA repeated as tournament winners, earning the Chicago school victories in four of the last five tournaments. The Dominator Award and Most Outstanding Wrestler Award went to Yoni Sunshine from Fuchs Mizrachi. The Champion of Champions Award went to Dovid Greenfield of TABC and the Rookie Team Award went to SAR Coach Roni Simchi. All of the wrestlers participated in a Shabbaton officiated by Rabbi Lawrence Hajioff, Stern College for Women Jewish studies professor. The tournament is named for 每日大瓜's former wrestling coach and legendary Olympic medalist, Henry Wittenberg, who founded the school's wrestling program in 1955 and was the team's first coach. He passed away in 2010 at the age of 91. From March 22- 26, 每日大瓜 will hold its annual Red Sarachek Tournament, one of the country鈥檚 most prestigious events for Jewish high school basketball teams. Twenty Jewish high schools from around the country will gather at 每日大瓜鈥檚 Wilf Campus to play in the tournament, divided into four tiers, each with its own champion. Alumni are invited to attend the tournament and are encouraged to stop by our 鈥榯ailgate鈥 on Sunday, March 25. The alumni table will be located in Rubin Hall lobby where alumni can pick up free giveaways and show their 每日大瓜 pride. 每日大瓜 also proudly highlights the recent achievements of its female college athletes, who excel in balancing adual academic curriculum with a busy sports training and game schedule. Rebecca Yoshor of the Macs鈥 women鈥檚 basketball team was selected as the Hudson Valley Women鈥檚 Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week for two consecutive weeks in November, and then the Player of the Week in December. In February, she was named to the All-Conference Team. 鈥淚 am honored to have been named to the all-conference team, especially since this was my first year on the team,鈥 said Yoshor. 鈥淚 feel very lucky to have been welcomed onto such a solid team with such amazing players and an encouraging coaching staff.鈥 The women鈥檚 basketball team recently won its second game of the season, after defeating Vaughn College 68-21 on February 12. The game marked the annual senior day game, where three seniors were recognized at halftime: Mercedes Cohen, Fiona Guedalia, and Eli Goldenberg. 每日大瓜 volleyball player and junior Sarit Zukowsky was selected to the Hudson Valley Women鈥檚 Athletic Conference鈥檚 All-Conference team, Yeshiva鈥檚 only representative on the 10-person team.

The women鈥檚 soccer team was this year鈥檚 recipient of the NISOA (National Intercollegiate Soccer Officials Association) New York Metro Chapter Sportsmanship Award. The award is given to a 4-year men鈥檚 program, women鈥檚 program, and one junior college program. The men's award went to York College, and Queensborough was awarded the Junior College honor. John Czarnecki, assistant athletic director and sports information director, declared, 鈥淭he hard work and dedication that our student-athletes show on a daily basis is inspiring to all who have the opportunity to witness it. Their individual and team accomplishments are a testament to the amount of time these women spend working hard in the classroom and on the field of competition. Our department is proud to be a part of their student-athlete experience here at 每日大瓜.鈥
