Undefeated Owls dominate Panthers
It’s been a lot of the same of the Seymour girls basketball team to start this season. The Owls might start slow defensively, but eventually its defensive pressure will create easy baskets and next thing you know a six-point lead at halftime turns into an easy, double-digit victory.
That’s exactly what Seymour did to Bloomington South at home on Tuesday night. The Panthers actually led 6-5 after the first quarter after a slow start, but Seymour was able to take a 19-13 lead at halftime and never looked back from there.
The Owls started the third quarter on a 10-2 to get up double digits and never allowed the game to get back within single digits, winning the game 54-39.
Brooke Trinkle led the way in scoring with 20 points points on the night. Kendall Sterling scored 18 while Journee Brown and Claire Marshall each had four. Greer Henry, Elizabeth Kirby, Jaidyn Nichols and Lainey Jackson all scored two points.
Seymour is now 6-0 to start this season and will now host cross-county rival Brownstown Central on Thursday night.

The Medora girls basketball team struggled to find much offense on Tuesday night as the Hornets played at Shawe Memorial.
The Hilltoppers were able to come away with a 62-3 victory.
Medora (0-3) will look to bounce back at home on Thursday night against Bloomington Lighthouse.
