Newton Falls Hoops

🇺🇸🐅 👑The 2025–26 League Champion TIGERS took part in the annual Newton Falls Fourth of July Parade this weekend.

It was a great opportunity for our players to celebrate alongside the community and be part of a special year as Newton Falls helps commemorate America’s 250th birthday as only Newton Falls can!
🎆🎇

Thank you to the Fourth of July Committee for putting on another incredible parade and celebration. We’re proud to represent the Tiger Basketball family both on and off the court! 🏀🐅🇺🇸

The TIGERS wrapped up their final summer team event this week with the help of several outstanding alumni and friends of the program.

Our players had the opportunity to compete against a talented group that included current and former college and professional players: Cody Dillon, Joey Kline, Jabriel Rufai, Cameron Huff, Ryan Romigh, and Peyton Aldridge.

It’s always special when our TIGER basketball family comes back to help out the next generation. We’re very lucky to have cultivated a family atmosphere and always appreciate how much pride our former players (and adopted family members) take in TIGER Basketball.

With summer team activities now complete, the focus shifts to individual workouts and continued player development as the reigning MVAC Champions begin preparations to defend their conference crown this winter 👑🐅🏀

The JV and Varsity TIGERS wrapped up their annual team camp this week at Marietta College, where they spent three days competing, learning, and growing as a program.

Between games, cafeteria food, campus life, and staying the dorms, our players got a true college-style experience. The Tigers competed in more than 16 games and 3 bracket-style tournaments against teams from nearly 40 high schools representing three different states, gaining valuable experience against a wide variety of opponents.

As anyone that has attended team camp with us over the years can attest, the lessons learned and relationships built will carry on long after camp ends. Sharing meals in the cafeteria, staying together in the dorms, and competing side-by-side for three straight days helped strengthen the bonds that make great teams successful.

Every year our players return from team camp a little tougher, a little more confident, and a lot more connected. The work continues this summer, but this week was another important step in preparing for another championship season ahead.

If you’ve driven by the city park these last few weeks you’ve seen the best parts of TIGER Basketball on full display. Coach Sembach has been running his 35th annual youth camp with kids from kindergarten through high school. The entire Newton Falls Family in the heart of the city carrying on the Tiger Basketball Tradition!

Your next chance to catch the present-day TIGERS is tonight at The Zorn: 6:00 vs Southeast, 7:40 vs Aurora.

The TIGERS spent their Sunday at John Carroll University for a 7-game shootout.

After opening the day with tough losses to St. Edward and St. Martin, the TIGERS responded in impressive fashion, rattling off four straight wins over Crestwood, Lutheran West, Chardon, and Avon Lake before falling on a last-second shot to Mentor Lake Catholic to finish the day with a winning record. It was a valuable day of growth and competition against seven strong opponents.

The next chance to catch the summer TIGERS in action is Monday night at The Zorn for Summer League at 5:10 and 7:40.

⛳️🏀 13th Annual Gene Zorn Memorial Golf Outing — A Huge Success!

As we begin our summer basketball program, we want to take a moment to thank our Tiger Basketball family for an incredible show of support.

Our recent golf outing—our largest annual fundraiser—was a tremendous success. The 13th annual event featured a full course, nearly 70 hole sponsors, and alumni and supporters traveling in from all over to be part of it.

The energy, turnout, and generosity were truly special and reflect what makes this program so strong.

Because of this support, we’ll be able to continue investing directly back into our athletes and program, including a new Shoot-A-Way shooting machine, updated uniforms, and continued resources to elevate the entire Tiger basketball program.

We’re grateful to everyone who made it possible—and excited for what this summer and the season ahead will bring.

🏀 👀Be on the lookout for the release of our summer schedule for a chance to catch the reigning MVAC champions in action!
