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

FINAL Rankings: 2026 Boys- Division B Maryland Private School Rankings: B Division starts play on Saturday 2/28 at PG-Community College in Largo, MD.

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… fan.hudl.com/usa/md/rockvil…

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.

@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.

@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?

The 2025 boys Maryland Private School State Basketball Tournament bracket. All gets started this Thursday night at Hebrew Academy. Mt Zion Prep earns the #1 Defending champs DeMatha get the #2 Other double byes go to Bullis and Clinton Grace.

@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.

Snow in Atlanta yesterday (Seriously?) so Atlanta Jewish Academy vs Weber Atlanta doubleheader 2nite cancelled. Still four big rivalries on tap in Rockville, Philly, Boston and Skokie @jhoopsamerica

@simmy_cohen @macslive @SportsCenter @barstoolsports @d3hoops

So this just happened. Macs lose their first conference game on a WILD buzzer beater by Eamon Kelly from a mile away. This is gonna sting a while

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

There've been so many complaints about no shot clock at the Satran Tournament but can't think of any possessions where a shot didn't go up within 30 seconds @jhoopsamerica

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

Prelim Records #Satran2025 THESE ARE NOT THE SEEDS! That will follow after traditional 'HAFTR Quarter Tally' DRS 3-0 Magen David 3-0 Berman 2-1 HAFTR 2-1 Jewish Culture 2-1 North Shore 2-1 H.A. Miami 1-2 HANC 1-2 Hillel 1-2 Atlanta 0-3 JEC 0-3 YMC 0-3 @jhoopsamerica

@JHAHoops @jhoopsamerica Zach Agichtein with 52.

HANC defeats Atlanta Jewish Academy 92-70 in prelim play at #Satran2025 @jhoopsamerica

@JHAHoops? I hear Atlanta will be there…

@JHAHoops Do you know the field for #Satran2025?

@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.

@simmy_cohen @NatiBurnside So how many wins from Williamsport are they?

Here it is!!! Awesome piece on Little Team Israel current run by @NatiBurnside jewishlink.news/israel-little-…

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

@simmy_cohen @NatiBurnside Awesome article!! As a former LL employee and current FIDF employee, I am so invested in this team. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Hopefully, we can all meet up in Williamsport in August 🇮🇱⚾️

@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.

@ZackDaniels67 @NatiBurnside guesses Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria, Czech, Italy, Dutch, Spain, England which is 9 and we know 2 more this tournament Do we have a shot? I really don’t know. Odds gotta be pretty long

GM. Israel beat Croatia 9-0. They’re now the only 3-0 team in this tournament. Last game is later today against Ukraine (0-3) and if they win (they should easily) they’ll be the 1 seed for the 1 game playoff to earn a spot in the main qualifying tournament!

@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.

HAFTR vs Waterbury Yeshiva to decide the final spot in the Yeshiva League quarterfinals WATCH LIVE now at youtube.com/watch?v=FFouVs… @jhoopsamerica

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

@NatiBurnside @jhoopsamerica Wouldn't call it an upset...

With Ohr Yisroel leading Hillel 61-21 entering the 4th we're going to congratulate the Flames on their first ever playoff berth. They finish in 5th and will face Heschel in the opening round @jhoopsamerica

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

Jacob Steinmetz soon 🤞
