Directions to Rappahannock Cellars

Basketball awards night began with an award for David Fawcett of the Manassas Journal Messenger for his sports articles on Seton.  Mr. Fawcett graciously spoke of not only Seton sports, but also of the Seton community which impressed him as something special.  The girls team graduated three seniors which Mr. P honored and had one DAC All-Conference player:  Sophomore, Sarah Blanchard.

The boys basketball team honored ten seniors and three All-Conference players:  Pat Stevens (co-MVP), Mark Sewell (1st team), and Neil Blanchard (2nd team).  After the awards, Mr. Frank Spicer gave a touching tribute to Coach Tom Vander Woude, junior varsity coach for many of the boys basketball players in ’07-’08.  It was fitting to end the evening with an eye on the real prize.

Prayers for the repose of the soul of Father Cilinski’s mother

Here’s the short version:

  • In 1997, Seton boys appeared in the VIS Division II tournament for the first time.  We hosted Alliance Christian in the first round; moved on down to Tidewater in the quarterfinals and upset; and lost in the Semifinals to Holy Cross.
  • In 1998, Seton got bumped to Division I in the first round vs. Episcopal (who went on to win the tournament).
  • In 1999, Seton played Cape Henry in the quarterfinals at Richard Bland College and lost.  (Anyone remember a first round game?  Or remember why there wasn’t one?)
  • In 2000, Seton was ranked #2 in the State.  We had a bye in the first round, hosted Virginia Episcopal School, then played Walsingham in the Semifinals, and then played Roanoke Catholic in the finals.  Roanoke Catholic came back from behind to win that game.
