Dear Editor,
In the article about Boy’s Basketball and Brother Rice [Crosstown Beatdown], the 2002 Seaholm team beat Rice at Seaholm 60-54, to a capacity house on opening night (December 2001).
Senior Matt Neff, son of Bob Neff and 1972 member (whose only loss in an 18-1 season was to Brother Rice in the District Championship game by 2 points), helped lead the Maples to the win.
This win was part of a 3 straight win streak against Brother Rice, which was unheard of, as the Maples would beat them in the 2002 District Semi-Final, and again in the District Semi-Final in 2003.
For the record, the Maples went 4-1 over a 5 game stretch against Brother Rice starting with a 75-54 drubbing in a District Championship game in 1997.
If anyone needs any Seaholm Basketball History, I am more than happy to fill anyone in.
Regards,
Keith Hart
Seaholm Varsity Basketball Head Coach (1998-2007)
