Sports Scene is a Miami Herald feature that spotlights news and notes from all youth sports activities in your neighborhood. The aim of the section is to feature game notes from any sport and the accomplishments of athletes from Miami-Dade County.

We rely on the directors and coaches of each league to send information for Sports Scene. We also accept photos, but we ask that everyone pictured be identified with a first and last name and the name of the team or park they represent.

Hillel soccer

The Scheck Hillel Community Day School boys’ varsity soccer team advanced for the first time in any team sport to an FHSAA Class 1A state semifinal.

Hillel, founded in 1972, is a Jewish school in North Miami Beach. In its fifth season competing in winter soccer, the Hurricanes already won the district championship three times. This season they won their first region title to qualify for that first state semifinal.

Hillel (18-1-1) practices at 6 a.m. each day because they don’t have a field to practice after school. One is being built for next season. The Hurricanes are also unable to play or practice from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, because of their religious beliefs.

The team is 100 percent Latin, which surprises people. The Jewish community in Latin America was not afforded the same opportunities in respective Latin American countries. Fearful for their lives, some even had bodyguards. They relocated their families to the area.

“What these kids have done this year is phenomenal,” Hillel coach Ben Magidson said “It has been an unbelievable ride, and our whole community and school has rallied around these young men and what they have been able to accomplish.”

Hebrew Academy basketball

Hebrew Academy School senior Danny Abramowitz scored his 1,000th career point for the boys’ varsity basketball team.

This season he is averaging 17.8 points and 11.4 rebounds per game. He reached the milestone with a 3-pointer in the first quarter of the final regular season game at home against MAST Academy at the Scott Rakow Youth Center.

Danny, 18, lives in Miami Beach. He is a three-year varsity starter. He was a Jewish High School All-American and Honorable Mention Miami Herald All-Dade in 2012. He is a candidate for the 2013 Jewish High School Player of the Year.

Danny is co-captain with fellow senior Isaac Schechter (15.7 and 5.8 assists per game), another three-year starter. Isaac, 18, is from Miami Beach.

They helped the Warriors finish the regular season 15-6, seeded second in the District 14-2A playoffs.

• Hebrew Academy senior Bari Gordon scored a school-record 52 points in a 79-74 win over second seed Greater Miami Academy in the District 14-2A girls’ varsity finals. The district champion Warriors (16-0) advanced to host an FHSAA regional quarterfinal at the Miami Beach Jewish Community Center.
