First there was the amazing Patriots Superbowl victory and then came the MetroWest Basketball Team!
Every year MWJDS sponsors a basketball team for the Temple Beth Am Basketball League (the largest basketball league in the Framingham/Metrowest area). This year following a nearly perfect season, our team was the first seed heading into the playoffs, which gained them a bye in the first round. They were looking a bit sloppy in the beginning of their quarter-final match, but managed a fairly decisive victory in the end. Tonight they faced the dominant Green Team in the semi-finals, with some unbelievable outside shooters. In the first half, they were trailing by more than twenty points, but persevered, steadily narrowing the lead into the fourth quarter, when their offense and defense finally exploded. Our very own Sam Sokol was a dominant force under the boards, scoring a total of 18 points, and picking up countless rebounds and blocks.The final score had the MWJDS-sponsored Black Team ahead 52-51!
We’ll all be rooting for them this coming Sunday when they face off against the Hot Pink Team at 2:30. Go MWJDS-sponsored Black Team!
