Seymour tennis
blitzes Edinburgh
It was a celebratory night for the Seymour Owls tennis team, pushing past Edinburgh, 5-0, in its most complete match of the season Monday.
The performance vindicated coach Sharon Wood’s belief that after a 1-2 showing the preceding weekend, the Owls were ready to break out.
“We came out strong against Edinburgh last night,” Wood said. “Our doubles teams only dropped one game as they focused on shot placement and finishing the points.”
Seymour’s No. 1 doubles team of Brandon Hubbard and Andrew Levine won 6-0, 6-0 and the No. 2 doubles team of Eli Meyer and Joe Schmidt won 6-1, 6-0.
The other points in the sweep were registered by Hunter Heckman, 6-0, 7-5 in No. 1 singles, Reuben Kruse took No. 2 singles with a score of 6-1, 6-4, and Drew Handloser took No. 3 singles, 3-6, 6-1, 10-5.
“Drew Handloser picked up his first win as a Seymour High School Owl,” Wood said.

girls soccer falls
The Cougars’ four-game winning streak ended Tuesday night with a 3-1 loss to Oldenburg Academy. Trinity managed just one shot on net, but it resulted in a goal from Sarah Lemming. An assist went to Flossie Cooper.
Oldenburg dominated possession, forcing Trinity keeper Genesis Munoz to make 16 saves.
“Although a loss is never good,” said Cougar coach Thom Hayes, “it was good to face a tough opponent and stay in the game.”
