The Beth Tfiloh Men’s varsity basketball team had a very successful season, which still has not technically ended as the Warriors will be traveling to New York to participate in the Red Sarachek Tournament on March 28. So far, the Warriors are 25-8, going 8-2 in conference and ending with a championship appearance, although they fell short in the championship, losing to Saints Peter and Paul 68-58. Throughout the season, the Warriors won two championships, the Weiner Tournament and the Israel Becker Tournament in Toronto. The Warriors also defeated the Berman Cougars 86-63 and the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day school Lions twice.

The seniors of this team who were also on the team last year compiled a record of 50-18 in two years in addition to three championships. A lot of success on the court. Although this season didn’t end in a MIAA championship like last year, this team still had an immense amount of success on the court and we wish luck to the Warriors in the Sarachek Tournament.
