The Basketball League, known as TBL, is divided into two subdivisions, intermediate (ninth and 10th grade) and senior (11th and 12th). Thirteen teams participated and comprised schools and shuls throughout New York and New Jersey. Each team played 10 regular season games. Heichal looks forward to the league championship and wishes the opposing team much success.
