Googie Seidman may yet have the last laugh.
If the Haverford senior guard was going to have a chance to pass his older brother John on the program’s all-time scoring list, the Fords were going to need to play a couple more games. John Seidman – the originator of the younger Seidman’s distinctive nickname – has given his little brother plenty of good-natured ribbing about their hierarchy too.
So, Googie Seidman went out and had the best scoring game of his career on Friday, pouring in 36 points as the No. 21 Fords downed No. 20 Abington 66-54 to secure a PIAA bid in their 6A playback bracket game.
“We’re really excited, we still have something to prove,” Seidman said. “We didn’t achieve what we wanted to but luckily, we got into the state tournament so we’re still really hungry.”
Seidman scored the majority of his team’s points but it was far from a one-man show.
