BERLIN- Stephen Decatur’s boys’ varsity lacrosse team earned a number-two seed in the state 3A-East Section II region when the brackets were released this week and will get a home game in the opener on Friday.

The Seahawks closed out the regular season last week with an impressive 12-6 win over Parkside. The Decatur boys won seven of their last eight down the stretch and finished the regular season with a 12-3 record. The only loss during that stretch was a 12-10 defeat to Bayside South rival Bennett last Wednesday.

When the state regional brackets were released this week, the Seahawks garnered to number-two seed in the 3A-East Section II regional and will play at home on Friday against Chesapeake. Bennett is the top-seed in the sectional and will face Northeast in its opener.

If the brackets follow the seedings, Decatur would get a rematch with Bennet in the sectional final. The top seed on the other side of the 3A-East regional bracket is Centennial.
