Playing with extra motivation, the Detroit

inline hockey team won the gold medal at
the JCC Maccabi Games & ArtsFest hosted
in August by Detroit. The team won all six
games it played at the Jewish Community
Center in West Bloomfield and outscored
its opponents 40-9.
Its motivation was wrapped in sadness.
Theresa Fulgenzi, the first director of the
JCC's inline hockey center and the Detroit
Maccabi team's assistant coach in 2011, died
in 2013 after Detroit participated in the
Maccabi Games in Orange County, Calif
"Theresa taught, coached or impacted
every one of my (2014) players:' said
Detroit coach Bryan Robbins.
Each Detroit player wore a "T-Strong"
patch on his jersey during the Maccabi
Games to honor Fulgenzi.

Briefly .••
• Eighteen golfers teed it up for Detroit
at the Maccabi Games. Only one golfer
represented Detroit in 2012 and there were
none in 2013. Zach Felsenfeld had the low-
est 36-hole score in the tournament with
78 and 80 at Knollwood and Franklin Hills
country clubs. Mikaela Schultz shot 74 from
the women's tees at Knollwood.
• The Detroit 16U baseball team won the
gold medal at the Maccabi Games, beating
New Jersey/Minnesota 8-1 in the champi-
onship game.
• Detroit swimmers won 30 individual
medals and more than 60 relays medals at
the Maccabi Games even though several
were dealing with the aftermath of floods
in their homes in Berkley and Huntington
Woods.
• Seymour Zate, who bowled in the
Downtown Fox B'nai B'rith Bowling League
for more than 60 years and worked tire-
lessly to keep it alive, died July 5 at age 81.
The league's championship trophy is named
for Zate, who presented it this spring at the
league's post-season banquet. A merger

with another league has helped Downtown
Fox grow to 24 teams this season.
• Golfer Jarvis Franzblau of Manistee
shot his age (89) on July 9 at the difficult
Heathlands golf course in Onekama. He
finished with a bogey on the par-5 18th
hole that is considered by some the most
difficult hole in Manistee County.
• Ely Tama, 67, and his daughter
Monica Jakubiak, 37, who live a few hous-
es away from each other in Farmington
Hills, each won their age group champion-
ship July 19 in the Farmington Founders
Festival 4 Mile Run. Running together,
they finished two seconds apart (Jakubiak
in 33:03 and Tama in 33:05) and 45 sec-
onds and four minutes ahead of their
nearest age-group competitor.
• Temple Israel No. 2 won the champion-
ship of the InterCongregational Men's Club
Summer Softball League with a 7-1 win
over Adat Shalom Synagogue No. 2 on Aug.
17 in the playoff title game at Community
Sports Park in West Bloomfield.
• Brad Kallen of Temple Israel
No. 3 was the 2014 recipient of the
InterCongregational League's Jeff Fox
Sportsmanship Award. The award is named
for a popular Temple Shir Shalom player
who died in 2011. Kallen's mother is pio-
neer female boxing manager Jackie Kallen.
• Gary Klinger and Howard Meyers won
the team championship in the B'nai B'rith
golf league's second season. Dale Taub won
the individual title. The league played at the
Links of Novi.
• Bruce Seid, a former Oak Park High
School baseball star and 2011 inductee into
the Michigan Jewish Sports Hall of Fame,
died Sept. 2. He was the scouting director
for the Milwaukee Brewers.
• Berkley High School graduates Jake and
Marlee Rothman became the first twins to
win the Bill Hertz Memorial Scholarship,
presented by the Michigan Jewish Sports
Foundation at the Hall of Fame dinner.
• Five Jewish players helped the Roeper
School boys soccer team win a Michigan
High School Athletic Association state
championship. It was the first time in the
Bloomfield Hills' school's 75-year history
that a team won a state title.
