Quick starts in the first and third quarters propelled Seymour’s boys basketball team to a comfortable 56-29 victory at Charlestown on Friday night.

The Owls (6-3) opened the game with a 11-2 run to take early control, then used a 17-2 surge after halftime to seal the win. Seymour built its lead to 50-20 with seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter before pulling its starters.

The win ends a two-game losing streak for the Owls and is their fifth straight victory over Charlestown (3-7). The last time Seymour held an opponent in the 20’s was in January 2020, when it held Martinsville to 25.

Eli Meyer ended with eight points and five rebounds, while Bret Perry and Andrew Levine each scored seven points.

Off the bench, Josh Rennekamp pulled down five rebounds. Cory Robinson scored his first two points of the season and grabbed three rebounds.
