Yesterday, HJBL held our inaugural "Holes For Hoops" golf tournament at Black Rock Golf Course. The weather was perfect for the event, and the people that participated and volunteered their time to help made it even better! Joshua Norris and his team took First Place, and Carlos Chulungo Davis and the In The Cuts team took Second Place.
Kevin Dick won the Longest Drive, and Cory Shank won Closest To The Pin.
We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation and thanks to all the golfers, to Ms. Carolyn at the 19th Hole & to Josie Danielle, Bailey McHale & 3 Point Pub for the wonderful food, to Ryan Crabtree & the Black Rock staff for their hospitality and accommodating us throughout, and to Mike Snyder l, Chris Engle, Tim & Katie Haines, and Jen Holler for volunteering their time the whole tournament.

The 2026/27 season registration should be open within a matter of days!!!
Few things to consider:
1. HJBL is entering our SEVENTY NINTH SEASON!!! We are by far the longest running youth league anywhere around! That sustainability is significant!
2. Our fee of $110 is still quite reasonable, considering the level of play, the $25 you can recover by selling your raffle tickets, and the full, reversible uniform that is included and YOURS to keep.
3. Our league is composed of the Elementary Division (3rd-5th grade) and Junior Division (6th-8th grade) We do not allow players below 3rd grade, and we do not allow players to "play up" from 5th grade.
4. We ARE a CO-ED league, and although we don't get a large number of young lady hoopers, we welcome them and encourage them to come and play!
5. We are a COMPETITIVE recreational league. We hold tryouts and draft our teams. This means that depending on the number of players registered, there is a chance that not everyone will be selected. This makes our teams more competitively balanced, and our league stronger.
6. For our Junior Division (6th-8th grade), we recognize that many kids will try out for their middle school teams as well. We COMPLETELY encourage you to play BOTH. Our practices and games are all weeknights after 6pm, which means there is very little interference or overlap with the Washington County middle school team schedules. It also gives you the opportunity to get playing time that is guaranteed, which you may or may not get on the school teams. Please keep that in mind!

We look forward to getting started very soon, and truly hope you join us for year 79!!!

💚 🖤HONORING COACH LC BERRY 💚🖤

💚 Our sports communities in Hagerstown - especially our Jr. Rebel program - recently lost one of the longest running coaches on our sideline, Coach LC Berry. Many of us knew him from the very early days of the program & many of you got to meet him in recent years, still coaching, but also supporting the youngest athletes in his family.

🖤 This Saturday, September 19th at our home game day against Oakdale, we will come together between the JVD1 & Varsity games to honor the life and legacy of Coach LC Berry. This will take place around 3:00 pm on this day.

🤍 Our cheer program will also be holding a bake sale during the day, with all proceeds going toward supporting LC’s family during this time. You will also have an opportunity to donate directly to the family

🏈 Please share this information publicly & plan to join us as we take a moment to remember, honor & celebrate LC & all he did for the Jr. Rebels football program.

💗 Please sign up to donate baked goods for our Saturday 9/19 home game here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0548ADA622A3FBC61-65866774-bake

🍪 As noted on the sign up: Please choose the time slot that you will bring items to the field. Please add the baked good you are donating in the comments so we know what to expect. Items will be on the table and sold 'for donation.' All proceeds from the bake sale will be given to the family of LC to cover any medical/funeral expenses. Thank you!

"And on this night, champions were crowned."
The final night of the league's playoffs is meant to be a showdown between the best teams in the league. Last night, we were fortunate to see just that, as the top two Elementary Division teams and the top two Junior Division teams squared off for the rematches of their epic regular season meetings just two weeks ago.

In the Elementary Division Championship, AC&T started off slow, then traded buckets throughout the game, before AC&T took and then built a lead that seemed insurmountable. But in true fashion, Point Vision Hoops came charging back, closing the gap and nearly pulling off the comeback. In the end, AC&T claimed a hard fought and well earned victory, and are your 2026 Elementary Division Champions! Congratulations to coaches Alden Berner, Tim Smith, and the AC&T families!
And hats off to Point Vision Hoops for a fantastic season as well!

In the Junior Division, Screentique jumped out to a 6-0 lead early, only to see Barrel Nation jump ahead thanks to a couple big three point baskets. The middle quarters saw Barrel Nation pull ahead by double digits, but Screentique exhibited relentless defensive effort and aggressive drives to the basket, cutting the lead down to just 1 with very little time remaining. Barrel Nation executed on their final possession, scoring the deciding basket to cement the victory as time expired. Congratulations to coaches Mike Holler, Doug Barton, and the Barrel Nation families!
And much respect to Screentique for their amazing season as well!

On to All-stars we go!!!
