On Thursday February 4, Ma’ayanot’s varsity basketball team played an incredible game and ended the season with a win against Westchester.

Seniors Adina Rosenberg (12 points), Nachama Stern (10 points), Gabi Lerner (9 points), Chaya Robinson (8 points), Shana Adler (2 points) and Sydnee Anderson (2 points) all played with energy and teamwork to score those 43 points. An additional 10 points were scored by juniors Michal Horn (5 points) and Rachelli Zomberg (5 points). The scorers had the help of their teammates who tried to prevent their opponents from getting the ball.

The Ma’ayanot Rapids had an outstanding season working together as a team; they put all of their effort into each game. Even when they lost, they stayed positive and optimistic for the next game. The Rapids lost as a team and won as a team; they came together and did not give up on themselves. The girls played with pride and enjoyment, testing out different strategies and plays together. This was an excellent season and what a way to end, with an amazing 53-16 victory.

This team would not have been complete without Coach Atara Polinsky, who put in time and effort to push the players to be their best.
