Come by and see our upgraded 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." Please send sports news to sports@thejewishnews.com.
