Boys Basketball team Makes History with State Championship Win
The SEED School of Maryland boys' basketball reached a defining moment in its athletic history, when the boys basketball team captured its first-ever MPSSAA Class 1A state championship, an achievement that reflects not only talent on the court, but resilience, discipline, and community.
After falling just short in last year’s title game, the team returned with determination and focus, clinching the championship and bringing well-deserved recognition to one of the smallest programs competing at this level. With just 200 high school students, approximately half of them boys, SEED has built a powerhouse program. The SEED girls' basketball team has also built a reputation as a young and talented team and had a milestone season reaching the state semifinals.
As a public, tuition-free boarding school serving students within 250% of the federal poverty guidelines, SEED operates without athletic scholarships, recruiting, or selective admissions criteria. Every student is admitted through a lottery, making the team’s success even more remarkable.
The championship victory sparked widespread attention. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott honored the team by having them lead the Greek parade with him while media outlets including The Baltimore Sun, WMAR-TV, and even Sports Illustrated have highlighted the team’s inspiring journey.
More than just a win, this milestone underscores the power of opportunity, teamwork, and belief, values that define SEED both on and off the court.
A Coaching Legacy: Three Generations of Leadership
At the heart of SEED’s success is the dedication and commitment of three generations of a coaching family guiding the program together.
Head coach Eddie Green has built SEED into a competitive force, drawing on years of experience and a reputation as a respected leader in Baltimore basketball. Alongside him is his father, known as “Pops,” who serves as assistant coach, bringing his wisdom and continuity to the team.
This season marked the addition of a third generation: Eddie’s son, Josh Green, who recently joined the program as JV coach following his graduation from Cornell University, where he excelled as a track athlete.
Together, the three Greens represent more than coaching staff. They embody a legacy of mentorship, family, commitment to the community, and development through sports. Their presence has helped shape not only strong athletes, but young men prepared for success beyond the game.
In addition to the incredible achievement of a State Championship, Coach Green was also named Coach of the Year by The Baltimore Sun.
