Owls fall at Jeffersonville

The Seymour boys basketball team is still searching for its first win of the season after falling 53-38 at Jeffersonville on Friday night.

“We got off to a very slow start,” Seymour head coach Kirk Manns said on the radio after the game. “I thought we did a good job of fighting, and we missed several easy shots. The free throws and the shots, those are correctable.”

Landon Fritsch led the Owls in scoring with 14 points on the night. Jaylan Johnson scored seven points, Bret Perry had six, Josh Rennekamp had six, Eli Meyer scored four points and Charlie Longmeier had one.

Manns said he was concerned with the effort on the defensive end, but he was happy with the way Seymour defended the Red Devils on Friday.

Seymour is now 0-5 this season and now 0-1 in the Hoosier Hills Conference.

The Owls will have now have eight days off before taking on Jennings County on the road next Saturday.
