The energy in the Bruriah gym on Thursday night was electric as Lightning fans packed the bleachers, looking forward to another dominant season. As last season’s JV basketball champions, both the JV and varsity teams are ready to carry on that momentum. Getting into the opening night spirit, Lightning fans organized a “blackout” in the stands, dressing in all black with Bruriah themed face paint, proudly showing their support.

The JV basketball team set the tone for the evening as they took on Barkai, establishing their dominance early on in the game. Their quick footwork and sharp shooting resulted in an impressive 35-14 victory, signaling a strong start to the season.

The varsity basketball team took on the formidable YDE, with both teams showcasing their strong scoring capabilities. The teams traded baskets for much of the game, but Bruriah remained focused, securing a 39-29 win.

Opening night was a testament to the incredible teamwork and achdus of the Bruriah Lightning basketball teams, as they are poised for a promising season ahead. Bruriah Lightning is ready to light up the season!
