One day it’s 30 degrees and miserable, the next its 80 degrees and sunny. Despite the inconsistency in the weather, Seaholm’s athletes have been able to stay consistent in their game play.
The spring sports season is underway, and top Maple athletes have begun their quest for glory in June.
To start things off on a good note, the varsity baseball team is off to a 3-2 start.
After winning their first three games on the diamond, Coach Wachowski’s team ran into a rocksolid Troy High squad, losing a double header by scores of 7-2 and 9-6.
Aside from Saturday’s hiccup, the team has been competing at a high level from the start.
On opening day, the Maple’s took out Berkely7- 3, helped in part by a strong outing from Veteran right-handed pitcher Tyler Haggerson.
The win was followed up with a 5-4 nail-biter over the Berkley Bears and a 10-0 demolition of the Lasher Knights.

A date to remember is a May 5th make-up double header with the powerful warrior-squad from Brother Rice at Maple Field.
The Maple Golfers opened the season with a bang, winning a tri-tournament at Farmington Hills golf club.
It was a Farmington sweep as the team overmatched both Harrison and Farmington.
“It was a good start to the season,” said sophomore golfer Andrew Globe. “It’s always good to start off with a win, but we still need to keep it up because its only one match.”
The boy’s lacrosse squad is off to a slower start than usual.
The Unified split their first three games, and hold a 3-3 record.
“There were a couple of really close games that could have gone either way,” said Sophomore Matt Roden. “U of D and Cranbrook were both really tough games, but we didn’t make any excuses, we just have to play hard and try to win the next game.”
The Maple lacrosse players will look to improve their record in the Buckeye state this weekend, playing a pair of strong Ohio lacrosse teams.
Coach Jeff Martin’s team faces Upper Arlington on Saturday followed by a Sunday matchup with Thomas Worthington.
“We’re looking forward to beating some Ohio teams,” said Roden. “I mean, I’m excited to play a couple of teams from another state, it should be a good experience.”
The spring sports season is off to a good start, but only time will reveal the contenders from the pretenders come June.
