SEED School Hosts No. 7 Allegany in MPSSAA Class 1A Quarterfinals

SEED School of Baltimore hosted No. 7 Allegany in the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association Class 1A quarterfinals and posted a 57-17 victory, a scoreline listed on the game page updated March 7, 2026. The result came in the March 6-7 quarterfinal window and, by that margin, ended Allegany’s season while advancing SEED further in the Class 1A bracket.

Bracket listings show SEED entered the quarterfinals as the No. 2 seed while Allegany was slotted at No. 7, with SEED carrying a 13-5 record in bracket projections. The Class 1A field also included No. 1 Patterson Mill hosting No. 8 Bohemia Manor and regional winners such as CMIT-North and Cambridge-South Dorchester among the top seeds, framing SEED’s home win as part of a statewide playoff map that leads to the MPSSAA state finals at UMBC’s Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena March 12-14.

SEED’s quarterfinal victory continued a recent string that has raised the Sabers’ profile statewide. SEED “burst onto the state scene with an upset of previously unbeaten and two-time defending state champion Edmondson in last season’s playoffs, eventually falling in the state title game in overtime, and the Sabers repeated the feat with a narrow upset at Edmondson Wednesday,” a line carried on the game page that chronicles SEED’s back-to-back upsets of Edmondson.

Allegany arrived in Baltimore after winning the Class 1A West Region I title in Cumberland; a photo caption accompanying regional coverage identified Allegany guard Chris Manherz driving the baseline against Mountain Ridge in the West Region I championship. The team’s run ended at SEED School with the 57-17 final appearing on the same page that earlier noted the matchup had been scheduled for 5 p.m., reflecting the March 6-7 quarterfinal schedule.

Spectator and ticketing logistics for MPSSAA postseason play remained governed by online sales and host decisions. MPSSAA policy lists state quarterfinal admission at $8 with ages 6 and under free and notes that tickets are sold only online through the GoFan platform, while some host-specific listings showed a $6 admission plus a $1 service fee for a $7 online price. The game was also available via NFHS network streaming in the playoff window, and MPSSAA reminders about GoFan service fees and UMBC clear bag entrance policies apply as teams and fans look ahead to the March 12-14 state championship dates.

With the quarterfinal win on SEED’s home court, the Sabers move deeper into the Class 1A bracket and maintain a path toward the UMBC arena for the state finals, while Allegany’s 57-17 loss concludes the Campers’ season.
