That's what's in store for the 16th sea- son of the Inter-Congregational Men's Club Summer Softball League. Twelve teams will compete. That's two more than the previous high of 10. Each team will play a double-header on Sunday mornings at Keith Elementary School in West Bloomfield before the two-week playoffs. The season will begin May 22 and con- tinue every week (except for Memorial Day weekend and July 4) until Aug. 21. "Guys were asking to play more games, so we're doing it',' said Howard Rosner, who plays for two-time defending league champion Temple Shir Shalom. Managers will select their team stars each week, and they'll be honored on the league's Facebook page. Play actually will begin this Sunday, May 15, when players who make a donation will be split into teams for exhibition games. "The money will go to Jewish chari- ties',' Rosner said. "We're also getting donations from shul brotherhood funds." Shir Shalom, which lost just one game the last two seasons, went 11-1 during the regular season last year and it defeat- ed Temple Kol Ami 16-8 in the playoff championship game. Temple Beth El (8-3-1), Kol Ami (7-5), Congregation Shaaray Zedek (6-5-1), Temple Israel No. 1 (6-6), Congregation Beth Ahm (5-6-1), Adat Shalom Synagogue and Keter Torah (5-7), Bais Chabad Torah Center (3-9) and Temple Israel No. 2 (2-9-1) trailed Shir Shalom in the regular-season standings. All 10 teams will return this season. Rosner said Adat Shalom will field a sec- ond team, and a team from Ann Arbor will join the league.

Not shown is David Huntley. Flag Day Parity came to the Jewish Football League this spring. Only two games separated the four teams in the regular-season standings. Team Select went 4-2 and won the playoff championship in the flag football league. Team Novak and Team Jacobs each was 3-3, and the Chai Flyers were 2-4. After beating Team Novak 63-0 dur- ing the regular season, Team Select got a much better fight in the title game before winning 40-26. "We knew they'd be fired up to play us," said Team Select member Adam Ellis. "Everything was clicking for us in that earlier game, and nothing went right for them:" Team Select quarterback Dan Yaker threw five touchdown passes and ran for another score in the championship game. Matt Levin and Ellis each caught two TD passes, and Al Broida grabbed the other one. Eric Michaels played well defensively for Team Select, but it came at a price. He was accidentally kicked in the mouth while grabbing the flag on a Team Novak player and a couple of his teeth were chipped. Rick Krause and David Huntley also were on the Team Select roster. Team Novak quarterback Mike Finkelstein threw three touchdown pass- es and ran for a TD in a losing cause. Thirty players participated in the league for Jewish men age 30 and older. They were drafted onto teams. Games were played on four Sundays, mostly at North Farmington High School.
