Novice JV girl Hurricanes win for HANC

The Hebrew Academy of Nassau County HS’ Girls JV Basketball team clinched first place in MYHSAL east division in their inaugural season.

In a division that features perennial Yeshiva League powerhouses, the HANC team worked to reach the top, anchored by a core of sophomores and complemented by freshmen. The Hurricanes clinched the playoffs after opening the season 6-0, which included wins against Flatbush, Ramaz, and Central. Just two games later, after an impressive 45-29 win over North Shore, the Hurricanes were celebrated as division champs. Winning the division has earned the Team a first-round playoff bye, which sends them to the semi-finals once the season concludes next week.

Girls JV Basketball team is one of five HANC teams to have already clinched playoffs (for the third year in a row all four of HANC’s boys teams have made the playoffs). The Girls’ Varsity Volleyball team can also clinch the playoffs with a win in their final game of the season later this week.
