This is the third year for the renewed Seaholm-Berkley match-up, after the two schools didn't play each for more than a decade. Seaholm and Berkley have split the past two games, with Seaholm winning last year 36-17. Like Seaholm, Berkley is 2-1 overall this season.

Next week, Seaholm was scheduled to play Andover on Sept. 21. However following Andover's decision to cancel its football program for the remainder of the 2012-13 season, Marco Capicchioni, president of the Seaholm Football Booster Club, said Seaholm is working to find a replacement for next week's game.
