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." ❑ Editor's note: The information for these stories was provided by the volunteer Maccabi coaches and edited by Alan Hitsky.

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. — Don Rudick Scene Happeniugx For college age through 30-something.
