BILLY BERRIS brought a gold
medal home with him from a re-
cent trip to Brazil. The White
Lake Township resident won the
gold by helping the United States
men's basketball team capture
the championship in the second
annual Brazilian Maccabi Mas-
ters Games.
Billy Berris takes a break in Brazil.
Six teams — two from San
Paolo (Brazil) and one each from
Rio De Janeiro (Brazil), the Unit-
ed States, Israel and Uruguay —
competed over four days. Berris,
44, was the captain of the eight-
player U.S. squad, which was the
smallest in the field but quite
quick.
Six-foot-five BART 'WEINER
from Philadelphia was the tallest
American.
Five of the eight U.S. players,
including Berris, were members
of the American masters team
which earned a bronze medal in
Israel in 1993 in the 14th annu-
al World Maccabiah Games.
Berris, who played basketball
at Detroit Mumford High School
and Wayne State University, is
planning to participate in the Pan
American Maccabiah Games in
December in Argentina.
