Coach Jacob: The CJDS basketball season is underway and our three teams are improving with each practice and game. The Boys Junior Varsity Team enters Winter Break with three wins and three losses, and Varsity had a fantastic victory over Latin this week. As the teams become more comfortable with the plays and defense, we’re looking forward to a really strong run to start 2025! 

After every game, win or lose, our team lines up to shake hands with all of the opposing team's players. We also pick out positives from each match, as well as what we need to focus on in practice. As the team continues to build chemistry and develop skills, I’m looking forward to coaching these players in 2025 who are now are now stronger and more confident basketball players and leaders. 

Coach Bob: The Girls Basketball Team has had an amazing start to the season with tremendous progress. The team, which consists of Grade 6 and 7 students, opened the season on a two-game winning streak beating Chiaravalle Montessori followed by a heart-stopping win at Bannockburn! They then clinched a home win against Hillel Torah and set their initial high scoring mark of  the season with 30 points in a 30-18 victory. The athletes have worked incredibly hard, and everyone on the team is excited to get back to playing hoops and upping the win total when we return in January. Go Rams!
