time mentor Walter Hailey,
of blessed memory. “I’ve been
supported by the best, and I
learned long ago that you’re
never too smart or too old
for mentoring. Everyone has
something to learn and we’re all
better for listening.”

serious game time. It also helps
with their style.
“We’re very fast-paced. We put
a lot of pressure on you, but we can
play a number of different ways. In
order to play the style we do play,
you have to be in great shape,” he
said.
“It’s hard for a team to dictate
pace and tempo against us. Some
teams are not going to change their
style. They’ll say, ‘We’re going to
run with them.’ Some run with us
for a half. And we may have been
in better shape, or locked down on
defense.”
In terms of player leadership,
Levine and senior Micah Romaner
are captains.
“It’s not hard for guys to look up
to Griffin because he’s a gym rat,
one of the top players in the state,
a captain for the USA team at the
Maccabiah games. He’s a leader,
but I think he leads far more
in how he plays on the court,”
Zimmerman said.
“The other captain, Micah, he’s
more quiet, subtle, in a number
of different ways, but he’s got this
personality and seriousness to him,
where if he calls the guys together,
they’re going to listen to him. It’s
an interesting combination.”

Dallas Lutheran 40-31 in the
opening round. Dallas Lutheran
lost to Yavneh by 19 and 20 points
in district play. Yavneh beat the
Saints in a game last year.
“They’re a much better team
now. They’ve pretty much
returned all their players and got
better,” Zimmerman said. “I think
they’re big, bigger than we are.
Their coach is doing a really good
job. This is not going to be an easy
task.”

Yavneh opened district play
with an 85-6 victory against Cristo
Rey, and kept rolling. Although the
closest league game was decided
by 13 points (at Covenant Jan. 6),
Zimmerman said the final scores
were sometimes misleading. A
game against Highlands was tied
at halftime.
“I don’t think anyone on this
team is believing we’ll just go
through the playoffs and win every
game by 15 points or more. I don’t
think anyone’s preparing that
way,” he said.
This was the sixth straight 20-
win season, making it less of a
surprise that the Bulldogs were
able to stay strong after graduating
Noah Rubinstein and Daniel
Chernikov from a 31-4 squad.
In addition to their scoring
abilities, Reef averaged 9.5
rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.7
steals; Levine 3.5 rebounds, 5.7
assists and 2.4 steals; and Bell 5.4
rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.1 steals.
Levine has hit 43 three-pointers,
and sophomore Tyler Winton
added 31.
But opposing teams trying to
focus on a handful of players will
find themselves in trouble.
“My coaching philosophy is
that you need depth,” Zimmerman
said. “As great as it is for a team
having two or three great players,
you’ve got to have depth. You have
to be able to put guys in there who
can give these guys a break.”
This year, though, Zimmerman
found himself with a bench full
of players who could contribute
much more than a breather for
his starters. He limited most of
his starters to 23 or 24 minutes
per game so the backups could get
Ascension game will play either
Denton Calvary (20-8) or Dallas
Covenant (12-11). Covenant and
Yavneh each beat the other team
on their home court. Martin said
his team was a little too caught up
with its offensive struggles in the
first game and relied more on its
defense in the second game.
“Anything can happen at any
time. But we’re a good defensive
team, so if we hang our hat on that,
we’ll be in games,” he said.
Either way, this has been a
tremendous success for Yavneh.
“It shows this is a good,
hardworking community that can
do this not only in the classroom,
but put a great product on the
court. The Yavneh boys are an
outstanding program. David does
an excellent job. For my girls, they
want that, too. They want people to
the state,” Martin said. “They
overwhelmed us. A big part was
our lack of experience. But it was
a great experience going into this
year, because we were able to build
off it.
“We’re really hoping this year
we can make a run, string a few
wins and see how far we can go.”
Because Ascension is from
Amarillo, they have no common
opponents. Martin knew little
about them, except that the team
has six players on the roster. That
will change in the next round.
“If we are fortunate enough to
get past them, our next opponent
will be from the area,” he said.
