Tara Danels and Atara Vogelstein. Coach Sonya Howell says that this a very<br />

The Heschel Heat Girls Varsity team may be small in numbers, but they make up<br />
for it with their play on the court. Following two seasons with trips to the finals and<br />
semi-finals, respectively, they are looking to surpass any past performance. Their two<br />
veteran Seniors lead the squad. Charlotte Marx-Arpadi makes her presence felt in the<br />
front court, while Mia Applebaum shores up the back court. The Juniors fill out the<br />
squad and have invigorated this team with their energy and work ethic. Coach Stacy<br />
Hollander is excited to return to <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>Tfiloh</strong> where she played and coached. The Heat<br />
Girls hope to bring their A-game to Baltimore and look forward to a fun and exciting<br />
weekend!

The Lady <strong>Tigers</strong> return with enthusiasm to the <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>Tfiloh</strong> Weiner Tournament for<br />
the third straight year. The team is coming off a winning season with last year’s junior<br />
varsity team going undefeated. With head new coach Marc Levinson and high<br />
expectations, we see good things from the team this year. Like the boys team, the Lady<br />
<strong>Tigers</strong> compete in the Chicago Prep League. While it is a young squad overall, the<br />
team has great leaders in its seniors Shelby Cooper and Alison Dreifuss. Look for this<br />
to be a breakout year for hard-working junior forward Naomi Michael and the very<br />
talented sophomore guard Alana Stoehr. Sophomore forwards Caroline Dreifuss and<br />
Annie Schrayer came on strong at the end of last season, and their play has picked up<br />
already quite a bit this season. The Lady <strong>Tigers</strong> look forward to their return to Baltimore<br />
and to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Schwartz, and great new additions, Nicole Drutz, Rachel Benezrah, Zoey Freedman, Madeleine<br />
Gottesman, Zoey Katz, Aleeza Yermus, and Sydnee Silverberg, they have worked very hard<br />
together, and have had a successful season thus far with a 4-2 record. With noticeable<br />
improvements both offensively and defensively, the <strong>Tigers</strong> pride themselves on going hard for<br />
all four quarters, and always come off the court feeling as though they have given it their best.<br />
The team is looking forward to an exciting and memorable Weiner Tournament. GO TIGERS!

The HAFTR Lady Hawks are coming off a tremendous 2009-<br />
2010. The team went undefeated during the regular MYHSL<br />
season but came up a little short, losing to SAR in the league<br />
championship game. This year's squad is returning seven players<br />
from that team, including three members who started last year.<br />
The Lady Hawks as always will rely on tough defense to help<br />
power them to easy fast break opportunities.

Fresh off an appearance in last season’s conference title game, the Warriors are<br />
hungry to make this season an even better one. Coached by Brian Hubbard, Melvin<br />
Bridges, Eli Creeger, and student assistant Eli Katz, BT will rely on aggressive defense<br />
and an abundance of quickness. Returning starters Tani Weissman and Adam Venick<br />
will lead the way on offense, while fellow Seniors Josh Flax, Eli Plaut, and AJ Hurwitz<br />
will also be counted on for big things. There are also a number of players moving up<br />
from the JV ready to make a splash on the Varsity level. The Warriors are excited to<br />
take the court in this year’s Weiner Tournament!

Led by new head coach Aldo Redendo and returning assistant Abraham Keita,<br />
the Heschel Heat have high hopes for this season. After a rough start, the Heat seem to<br />
be headed in the right direction. Led by a plethora of talented seniors, Heschel is<br />
characterized by their tough defense. After a difficult loss in the Yeshiva League<br />
Championship game last season, the Heat are motivated to get back there and win their<br />
first Varsity Basketball championship in school history.

The boys’ basketball team looks to have another winning season. The team was<br />
the Illinois High School Association regional champions last year—the first Jewish high<br />
school to accomplish this. The team returns all but one starter, and has a strong group<br />
of seniors: Aaron “LC” Cohn, Adam Seidenberg, Zach Spellman, Danny Stamos, Kevin<br />
Rahmanim, and Paz Abergel. Junior Sam “The Gentle Giant” Botbol gives the team a<br />
strong presence at center, while newcomer sophomore Jake Newlander is dangerous<br />
from all areas of the court. Juniors Jeff Budweg, Noah Chasin, Adam Schrag, and Max<br />
Geifman round out the squad.<br />
Veteran coach Saul Shaoul returns for his fifth season as head coach. The team<br />
joined the prestigious Chicago Prep League this year and faces tough competition both<br />
in and out of conference. The team is a past participant in the Sarachek and Memphis<br />
tournaments and really looks forward to joining the CJHS girls team in Baltimore.

The <strong>CHAT</strong> <strong>Tigers</strong> are coming to Baltimore with an aggressive mentality,<br />
planning to attack their opponents with quick and ferocious offense and<br />
defense. With the legendary coaching of the one and only Aubrey Zimmerman,<br />
this team should perform plays with textbook execution. The <strong>Tigers</strong> have many<br />
returning members from last year’s senior team such as Adam “9 foot 3”<br />
Halpern, Josh “Dougie” Tayar, Ori “Tea n Crumpets” Ohayon and Misha<br />
“Herschdog” Herschorn, as well as many new seniors like Brad “Jacked” Lastman,<br />
Russel “The Tank” Handelman, Jonah “Oshe” Osher and Nate Weisbr”o”od,<br />
“Captain Awesome and Mr. Fabulous” AKA Tyler Smith and Lawrence Stefaniu, as<br />
well as two new senior managers: Adam “Singer” Singer and Michael “Zig-Zag”<br />
Zagdanski. Coming in from the junior team are none other than Arie “Rook”<br />
Cote, Ryan “Coco” Cohen, Simon “Oliver” Axelrod and Noah “Clown” Walters. All<br />
of these representatives of The Anne and Max Tanenbaum Community Hebrew<br />
Academy of Toronto <strong>Wallenberg</strong> <strong>Campus</strong> will definitely provide for some<br />
serious competition in the tournament and will hopefully take home the gold.
