Seaholm Stuns Groves With 22-15 Win During Crosstown Rivalry Game

Seaholm also takes home a victory in Birmingham Patch's school spirit contest, uploading more than 80 photos and videos of Maple pride.

Friday was a tough night to be a Groves football fan, after inter-city rival Seaholm (literally) rained on the Falcons' homecoming celebrations.  In a stunning, come-from-behind victory, Seaholm defeated Groves 22-15 during Birmingham's annual crosstown rivalry game. Seaholm's win was revenge for last year's loss to Groves, when the Falcons defeated the Maples 21-3. Groves started the game on top, entering the third quarter 15-0.
