The ball was tipped into the middle of the court. Sophomore sensation Sean Conway lunged after it. After two dribbles, he knew he was free. Driving the lane all alone, Conway approached the net. The crowd knew exactly what was coming. Two steps, up, and SLAM! Seaholm stood, awestruck, as they witnessed the transfer sensation slam dunk. After a “what up” to the crowd from Conway, Seaholm was on the defensive.
Seaholm’s star, Richaud Pack was playing tenacious defense, and tapped the ball away. Pack snatched the ball up, and away he went. Again, no Royal Oak player was to be seen. Pack was all alone and knew exactly what to do. Again! Seaholm witnessed two slam dunks in a span of 30 seconds.
The crowd had no idea what had hit them. Millions of thoughts running through their heads, but one thought raised above all the rest. “Are we a basketball school now?!” That was the question that was constantly being asked. I think the 23-0 run at the beginning of the game, and a 46 point victory may foreshadow great things to come.
Captain Richaud Pack said “We’ve always had what it takes to be a basketball school. There’s just something different about this year’s team that allows us to show people that” ,who compiled 20 pts, 5 steals, and 7 assists in Seaholm’s season opening victory against Royal Oak.
“Tell the other schools to look out; Seaholm’s holdin’ it down this season”, said Pack.
Newcomer, sophomore sensation, and Pack’s cousin, Sean Conway said “I like the team. We work well together and only god knows how the season will end up.”
Conway transferred from Detroit Cody, and his talented defense and powerful post play added to Richaud’s ball handling ability and sharpshooting accuracy makes Seaholm a force to be reckoned with this season.
Junior standout Jack Quigley dominates down low play. Watch out for him and enforcer Dan Meredith to hold down the defensive zone, and catch nice feeds from Pack to power through the opposing defense and score this season.
All the facts stated above are evidence that fully back up Seaholm’s new status as a “Basketball School.” With a 2-1 record and wins over Farmington and Royal Oak, and a loss to Brother Rice due to foul trouble early on, the Maples are convinced that they have what it takes to make it far in this year’s playoffs.
