Michigan Jewish Sports Hall of Fame
announces new inductees.
Steve Stein
Special to The Jewish News
A
n eclectic group will enter
the Michigan Jewish Sports
Hall of Fame later this year.
Former Detroit Central High
School baseball stars Roy Clark and
Frank Faudem, ex-Eastern Michigan
University basketball coach Allan
Freund, outstanding amateur golfer
Josh Mondry, and Bill Serman, a
major contributor to the growth of
baseball in Israel, will be inducted
Nov. 5 at Congregation Shaarey Zedek
in Southfield.
Clark and Faudem were teammates
at Central and went on to play profes-
sional baseball before serving in the
U.S. military during World War II.
While Clark served four years, Faudem
never made it home. He was killed
Jan. 12, 1945, in the South Pacific by a
Japanese sniper.
Freund, a standout basketball
player at Central, was named Eastern
Michigan's coach in 1972. While at
Eastern, Freund coached future NBA
players George Gervin, Kennedy
McIntosh, Harvey Marlett and Earle
Higgins.
Mondry announced his pres-
ence on the state golf scene when he
won the Michigan Junior Amateur
Championship in 1980. He was a
three-time winner of the Michigan
Medal Play Championship and Horton
Smith Invitational, and a two-time
runner-up in the Michigan Amateur.
Serman is a trustee of the Israel
Association of Baseball, the country's
governing body for the sport.
Tickets for the annual Hall of Fame
induction banquet, which features a
silent auction of sports memorabilia,
are $150. Call the Michigan Jewish
Sports Foundation, (248) 592-9323.
Back To Work
After a team-best third-place finish
at this spring's Division 1 state tour-
nament, the West Bloomfield High
School boys tennis squad hasn't had
much time to reload.
The Michigan High School Athletic
Association was forced to switch
several sports seasons beginning this
school year because of a court order,
and tennis was one of them. Girls ten-
nis went from fall to spring, boys ten-
nis from spring to fall.
Luckily, only one West Bloomfield
boys tennis player had to make a deci-
sion about which fall sport to play.
Senior Michael Brodsky ran cross
country during the last three fall
seasons. He chose tennis over cross
country.
"It actually was an easy decision
because tennis is a lifelong sport
for me, and I've been on the West
Bloomfield team for four years:'
Brodsky said. "I ran cross country to
stay in shape for tennis. The only dis-
appointment about not running cross
country is that it's my senior year."
Brodsky is one of several Jewish
players on the West Bloomfield boys
tennis roster. He played No. 2 doubles
this spring with Matt Ruza, and they
reached the quarterfinals in the state
tournament. Ruza also is a senior this
season.
Alex Simmons is another senior.
He combined with Jaynath Krishnan
to reach the state finals at No. 1
doubles.
Seniors Scott Jurewicz and Joel
Siegel also are back with the Lakers.
Jurewicz and Mike Lewis made it to
the state semifinals at No. 3 doubles,
as did Siegel and Joe Lampi at No. 4
doubles.
There should be at least two Jewish
players in West Bloomfield's singles
lineup this fall. Sophomore Peter
Rothstein was 14-3, a regional cham-
pion and a state semifinalist at No. 2
singles this spring. He went 4-8 when
he had to fill in at No. 1 singles. Senior
Dustin Goldenberg played No. 3
singles for West Bloomfield the past
two seasons.
Mike Boren rounded out West
Bloomfield's singles lineup last season
at the No. 4 slot. Boren is an outstand-
ing soccer player. He will have had to
make a difficult choice between the
two sports this fall.
"I'd like to think we have a good
team again',' Mike Brodsky said.
"Several of us have been playing a lot
during the summer."
