DRS VICTORY! Two fantastic teams took the court at Lawrence Middle School on Sunday vying for the coveted MYHSHL Varsity championship: The DRS Wildcats and the SAR Sting. DRS defeated MTA 3-1 in their semi-finals match last Monday and SAR defeated TABC in overtime in their semi-finals match the previous Wednesday. In the championship game, right out of the gates, SAR struck first on a goal by Zev Lindenbaum who put a rebound from Oliver Schawlbie past DRS goalie Efrem Rosenberg. The teams went back and forth throughout the rest of the period to go into the locker rooms with SAR up 1-0. In the beginning of the 2nd period, DRS got on the board with a lucky goal by Meir Cohen, when his centering feed went off the knee of an SAR defenseman and past SAR goalie, Eitan Bar-David. Moments later DRS took the lead for good on a beautiful powerplay goal by Michael Fruchter who ripped a slapshot past Bar-David, top shelf to the long side. The score remained 2-1 heading into the 3rd period. With just over 3 minutes to play, DRS captain Jesse Gordon widened the lead to 3-1 with a beautiful goal. Meir Cohen then added an empty-net goal, his 2nd of the game, to seal the victory 4-1 for DRS,and was named MVP of the game. The seniors on this DRS team had never lost a game besides for the three championship games they played in their first three years, which made this one feels all the more better. The spirit in DRS right now is at an all time high!
