On Tuesday, February 13th the Seymour Owls boys basketball team traveled to Greensburg to battle with the Greensburg Pirates. The game started off 9-0 in favor of the Pirates, and held that lead until senior Tiller Cummings made two free throws with 4 minutes left in the quarter. Junior Jack Roberts then made a layup, making the score 17-4. The Owls shot just 1-12 from the floor in the first quarter.

 The Owls couldn’t do much against Greensburg defense in the 2nd quarter either, heading into halftime down 38-17.

 After the pirates scored 2, the Owls went on a 7-0 scoring run cutting the lead to 40-24. Then Senior Max Otte hit his second three of the night, making the score 46-30. The Owls continued to battle back, but Greensburg would hit a big shot, not allowing the Owls get back into the game.

 The fourth quarter started 48-32, and the Owls got the lead cut down to 14 with 3 minutes left, but that was the best they could do. The Pirates defeated the Owls by a score of 69-52. The Pirates are now 16-5 while the Owls are 10-9.

 Cummings led the Owls in scoring with 17 points, while senior Ty McCory had 12.
