Akiba Hebrew Academy went 25-3 in 1991 and won its league championship with an offense orchestrated by the future governor of Pennsylvania. Ami Eden played center, Aaron Hahn Tapper was a 6-foot-3 shooting guard after hitting a growth spurt, and Josh Shapiro played point guard.
Today, Shapiro is Pennsylvania’s 48th governor, running for reelection, and rumored to be a presidential contender come 2028. Thirty-five years ago, he ran point for a high school team that loved proving it belonged.
