Tournament Time : How to follow the games, at school and beyond

November 12, 2015

Two out of the four days of the Steve Glouberman Memorial Basketball Tournament are school days, so will Shalhevet students be able to watch?

Yes and no. 

When Shalhevet played in the Sarachek tournament in New York last spring, a screen was put up in the auditorium for kids to watch games during lunch and free periods. With the Glouberman games being right in the building, administrators expect a major pull to watch during class.

And that’s a good thing, said Principal Reb Noam Weissman.

“We want the excitement of the tournament to affect the whole school,” said Reb Noam. “But when Shalhevet games are not being played, students and teachers will work together to make sure class goes on.”

To address this concern and also have as many fans as possible present to cheer, all of the Firehawks’ games are being scheduled during non-class time, and the bell schedule hs been adjusted.  All of Shalhevet’s play-in games to determine their seeding have been scheduled for during Town Hall period, lunch, or after school, and Town Hall has been cancelled.

That means that except for the first day, the only Shalhevet game students will have to miss for class is one on Friday.  

That doesn’t mean all Firehawk games will all be held in the new building, however. Half will be played in the gym of the JCC.

“Fortunately the community has been very welcoming to this tournament,” said Athletic Director Mr. Eli Schiff. “We have to thank many different schools that are letting us use their time in the JCC gym for the tournament. I don’t think we could’ve run the tournament without them.”

If you can’t be there in person, games played at Shalhevet will also be shown by live video feed on the Boiling Point website, shalhevetboilingpoint.com

Play-by-play, color commentary and interviews will be provided by the new staff of BP-Live, supplemented by Judaic Studies teacher Rabbi Ari Schwarzberg. The broadcasts will also be reported for viewing later.

UPDATE: Games are permanently viewable at the links below:
