BOYS' ALL-STAR BASKETBALL GAME
One of the greatest experiences as a coach is seeing your players succeed on another level. This past Sunday I had the opportunity to coach the New York eighth graders at the MVP Yeshiva league All Star game. Prior to my game I got to watch two of HANC's future stars Matthew Hoch and Ben Mottahedeh play in the MVP seventh grade All Star game. Matthew played solid defense while being matched up against a true seventh grade giant, and added a block to his credit. Ben made it to the three point shooting finale and lost by a heartbreaking last second shot by his opponent. He followed up that performance with a solid 10 point showing in the game and was honored as the game's MVP. Ori Baer represented HANC in the eighth grade game, and brought his hard-nosed defense to a new level. Ori fought hard on defense and even got "dirty" grabbing a loose ball. Ori showed real grit and heart in the game. The HANC All Stars really represented the school with pride and joy. It was a great experience for all and really put HANC on the map for next year.
