T
he Jewish Football League
just concluded its second
spring season, playing a
month-long schedule at Pioneer Park
in Farmington Hills that ended with
Team Ellis' 39-13 victory over Team
Broida in the championship game.
Four teams of six players competed
in the non-contact flag football league
for Jewish men ages 30 and older.
League organizers hope six to eight
teams will play in the fifth fall season
later this year. There were four teams
and 33 players last fall.
"We'll play an eight-game regular-
season schedule on Sundays starting
the Sunday after Labor Day, with
every team making the single-elimi-
nation playoffs," said league spokes-
man Adam Ellis. "We're really trying
to get the word out about the league.
We want it to grow."
Five-on-five games are played on
a 50-yard field from goal line to goal
line. Each zone end is 10 yards deep.
Ellis threw three touchdown passes
and ran for one in the champion-
ship game. Matt Levin caught two
of the TD passes. Mike Bernard
and Michael Cooper each had two
interceptions for Team Ellis, and Jeff
Gunsberg overcame a bad shoulder
to harass Team Broida into intercep-
tions and incompletions with a tena-
cious pass rush.
