Knockin’ ’Em Down!

T

he Brotherhood-Eddie
Jacobson B’nai B’rith bowling
league keeps rolling along.
And there was extra excitement in the
first half of the season. Two 300 games
were rolled.
Dave Shanbaum of the Transplants
bowled his 14th career perfect game Dec.
7. Two weeks later, Ken Folkoff from the
Hasidic Jews bowled his first 300 game
with an unusual twist.
“Ken doesn’t have his own bowling
ball. He uses the same house ball, a
15-pound navy blue ball each week,” said
Gary Klinger, athletic chairman for the
B’nai B’rith Great Lakes Region and a
league member.
Now past its 60th season, the area’s
oldest B’nai B’rith bowling league has
16 teams in four divisions this season.
The teams compete at 8:15 p.m. each
Monday at Country Lanes in Farmington
Hills.
The second half of the season began
Jan. 11. First-half champions Spares
Are A Bonus (Lions Division), Ignore
Malach (Red Wings Division), the
Minute Bowlers (Pistons Division) and
the Hasidic Jews (Tigers Division) each
earned a berth in the playoffs.
Second-half division champions also
will be part of post-season play April 11,
18 and 25. The final night of regular-
season bowling is April 4.

B’NAI B’RITH JUMP BALL
It’s time for B’nai B’rith basketball.
Five teams are in the league again this
winter, which began weekly play Sunday,
Jan. 17, at the Jewish Community Center
in West Bloomfield.
Six-time defending league champion
Downtown Fox is looking for title No. 7
in a row, but it’s expected to get a good
fight from Zeiger, which has had an
influx of young players.
Joining those two teams in the league
are Brotherhood, Great Lakes Region
and a new squad made up of players
who played pickup basketball at the JCC
and decided to form a team. A team
from Pisgah dropped out.
“We have about 45 guys in the league,
ranging in age from their early 20s to
early 60s,” Klinger said. “We’ve had five
teams for a couple years now, but I think

we can grow.”
Games will be played at 10 a.m. and
11 a.m. each Sunday during the first half
of the season, with one team getting a
bye. During the second half, games will
be at 9, 10 and 11 a.m., with one team
playing a doubleheader.
March 20 will be the final day of the
regular season. The top four teams will
make the playoffs March 27. Semifinal
and championship games will be played
that day.
The league is more than 40 years old
and has been held at several area sites.

HILLEL TEAMS WANTED
Registration has begun for the sixth
annual National Hillel Basketball
Tournament to be held March 24-27 at
University of Maryland in College Park.
Athletes receive weekend accommo-
dations at a hotel next to campus, meals
from Friday morning through Sunday
lunch, tournament gear, a Shabbat
experience with social and educational
events, and the opportunity to compete
for the Kiddush Cup.
Men’s teams from Michigan State
University and the Hillel of Metro Detroit
competed in last year’s tournament, the
largest in its five-year history. There were
more than 45 men’s and women’s teams
and 300 athletes and about 1,500 partici-
pants from across the country.

HALL DOORS OPENING
Ben Agosto, a 2000 Birmingham Groves
High School graduate who won a silver
medal in ice dancing at the Winter
Olympics six years later, will be inducted
this week into the U.S. Figure Skating
Hall of Fame.
Agosto and skating partner Tanith
Belbin also won five consecutive U.S.
championships (2004-2008) and were
four-time medalists at the world cham-
pionships (silver in 2004 and 2009 and
bronze in 2006 and 2007).
The Hall of Fame induction ceremony
will be held Friday, Jan. 22, at the U.S.
championships in St. Paul, Minn.
Agosto’s mother is Jewish.
