VARSITY HOCKEY DESTORYS TABC IN 2ND REGULAR SEASON GAME

Last Monday night, the SAR varsity boys hockey team welcomed the defending champs, the TABC Storm, to Riverdale for amuch anticipated rivalry game. Upon arrival, the Storm were greeted with 6 goals as a result of their lackluster defensive effort in front of goaltender Solly Weiser. Offensviely, Gordie Kolb had a hat trick, while Joey Mogilner, Jason Burian, and Judah Fortgang all added goals, two of which came on powerplays. Defensively, Henri Kolb was fantastic in net, while his defense held TABC's excellent powerplay in check. The game against the Storm felt like a breeze for SAR, as they easily moved on to 2-0. SAR looks to move on to 3-0 when they play MTA tomorrow night @ home.

VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL PICKS UP EASY WIN @ HILLEL TO MOVE ON 3-0 ON THE REGULAR SEASON

After finishing runner up in The Steve Glouberman Tournament to Frisch two weekends ago, the Boys Varsity Basketball team was in need of a bounce back win: thats where Hillel came in. From the tip, the game was unbalanced. Sar jumped out to a 6-0 lead with back to back threes from Forward Dovie Marcus. Moments later, Center Sammy Sokol hit a layup, followed by a layup from Guard Daniel Wisotsky. Then, Marcus was found for another three, which ultimately forced Hillel to take their 1st timeout. From there, the rest was history. Sar closed out the quarter with a 27-7 lead. Although Hillel was with their premier scorer Isaac Beda, he was unable to take on the Sting alone. The pace remained the same with Sar coming out on top in each quarter. The final score was 84-55. Beda led Hillel with 36 points, while Marcus paced the Sting with 30 points. The Sting look to move to 4-0 Tuesday night when they take on the Heschel Heat.

Flatbush couldn't stop the scoring from Forward Dovie Marcus and Center Sammy Sokol, and SAR couldn’t stop the scoring from talented Guard Kevin Haddad. Both teams knew the game was going to come down to the last basket. Going into the 4th quarter, SAR was down by a few baskets. Nonetheless, although faced with adversity, the Sting would not back down. Quickly, Sammy Sokol hit an and one layup, then captain Daniel Wisotsky did the same. With 3 minutes to go, Marcus drew a critical charge which altered the game’s momentum for good. As the game winded down, Point Guard Yair Slasky hit some critical free throws in order to ice the game. When the buzzer rang, SAR had won 68- 63. The Sting were led by Marcus’ 22 points and Sokol’s 14 points, while the Falcons were led by Haddad’s 32.
