Jon Neiss played at Sarachek as a junior for MTA in the second year of the tournament. His son Yishai, a junior, is a starting guard for MTA this year.
It was incredible to be part of one of the first Sarachek tournaments, a rare chance for local NY teams to compete against yeshivas nationwide. The YU gym was packed, especially for the Hillel-MTA championship, which ended on a buzzer-beater. Now, seeing my son and his MTA team compete after a strong season makes it even more special. Go Lions!
