Detroit teens compete at three separate
Maccabi sites.
D
etroit's Maccabi teams partici-
pated in games at St. Paul,
Minn., and San Antonio,
Texas, Aug. 7-12, and in Richmond,
Va., Aug. 14-19.
Detroit's baseball team compiled a 3- .
1 record in rain-shortened play in San
Antonio. Detroit won back-to-back
games the first day against Long Beach,
12-1, and Baltimore, 17-8.
Jake Holloway pitched a two-hitter
against San Antonio, with four strike-
outs. Brad Hantler went two for three,
and Jason Dovitz and Jared Sklar each
contributed key hits to break the game
open.
Against Baltimore, Detroit led 16-3
after 3 innings. Andy Schwartz started
and picked up the win. Holloway,
Hantler, Mark Bornstein and Jordan
Wachler each had two hits.
Second-day action saw Detroit beat a
combined team from San Antonio/St.
Louis, 17-9. Jordan Wachler got the
win, with relief help from Holloway,
who struck out three with the bases
loaded. Jared Sklar mopped up in the
fourth to preserve the victory. At the
plate, Hantler went two for three,
including a three-run homerun and
Wachler was two for four with a dou-
ble and a triple. Eric Altman was two
for three and Brad Goldman had a key
hit.
After a rain day, Detroit lost its first
game of the tournament against Greater
Washington (D.C.). Jake Holloway
started and pitched a complete seven-
inning game but the Detroit bats were
flat, scoring only one run. Detroit fin-
ished the.tournament 3-1.
"The experience our kids had was
phenomenal. They competed hard,
had success and the memories and
friendships they created will last a life-
time," said coach Harry Glanz.
In St. Paul, the boys 13-14-year-old
basketball team lost to Vancouver in
the bronze medal game. The team
played very well and finished with a 3-
4 record. According to coach Rick
Kaczander, "The kids not only played
their hearts out, but also enjoyed the
wonderful Jewish experience through-
out the games.
The table tennis team did not win a
medal this year in St. Paul, but every
athlete was very close to receiving one.

The Scene
Hills played for the bronze medal but
lost in a close match. Seth Samuels,
14, from Franklin teamed with
Mondry and almost won the bronze in
doubles.
Mike Yashinsky, 16, from
Farmington Hills and a fourth-year
player, ran in to some tough competi-
ton from the Israeli athletes. Josh
Bayer, 16, from West Bloomfield, also
had a very tough matchup in the pre-
liminary rounds. Bayer and Yashinsky
finished fourth in doubles play.
Coach Don Rudick said, "We are
very proud of our table tennis team
and everyone had an excellent
Maccabi experience."
The Detroit girls volleyball team
was 2-2 in round-robin play is St.
Paul. After defeating St. Paul two
straight in the playoffs, they lost to the
eventual gold medal winners from
Ocean City. In the bronze medal
match against Baltimore, they fought
hard but lost.
"Since all of the Detroit girls will be
returning next year and all but one the
next two years, this team will surely be
a force with which to be reckoned in
the future," said coach Ken Bertin.
"They played wonderfully in this tour-
nament and could just as easily have
won a silver medal with a break here
or there." ❑

Giving Extra
Andrew Korby, 16, a Detroit table
tennis player from Novi, left some-
thing in St. Paul. He had emergency
surgery to remove his appendix at 4:30
a.m. Aug. 10.
He won four out of five of his
matches Aug. 8. On Aug. 9, he began
the day not feeling well but played
two more matches. He was seeded
third to begin tournament play on
Aug. 10, but surgery ended his com-
petition.
Korby is a fourth-year Maccabi ath-
lete, and was one of Detroit's flag
bearers at the opening ceremonies.
Although disappointed that he could
no longer compete, he stayed in St
Paul and attended some of the remain-
ing activities after he was released from
the hospital. He came home with the
entire Detroit delegation on Aug. 12
and is making a complete recovery.
