BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's varsity baseball team hammered visiting county rival Pocomoke, 13-3, on Tuesday to improve to 10-1 on the season.

With bases loaded and just one out, Kyle Pruitt laced a single to left center scoring two runs to push the lead to 9-3. The next Decatur batter...READ MORE

Towson Inks Another Seahawk Lax Player

BERLIN - Another standout girls' lacrosse player from Stephen Decatur High School will take her game to the next level as senior captain Katie Priestley yesterday signed a letter of intent to play at Towson University. In a Decatur women's lacrosse program profile, Priestley's favorite quote is 'Live the phrase the sky's the limit,' and the sentiment does not appear to be truer for the Seahawk senior.

Meanwhile, the Beach offense was clicking on all cylinders, set up by a dominating performance on face-offs. Andrew Ternahan, Alec Zarif and Johnny Moore each scored in the first...READ MORE

Up and Down Week for Seahawks

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's men's varsity lacrosse team had an up-and-down week this week, falling to rival Parkside, 9-8, in double overtime on Monday, before venting some frustration on North Caroline with a 22-3 win on Tuesday.

He also struck out seven during the perfect game, the...READ MORE
