Seymour boys lose close one to New Albany
By John Regruth | For The Tribune
Tuesday night’s Seymour-New Albany boys basketball game had the feel of urban warfare. Maybe trench warfare, with every inch, every point requiring excruciating effort.
Unfortunately for Seymour, the end result had a familiar feel as New Albany escaped a hard-fought 43-38 overtime victory.
The Owls took New Albany to overtime last season before falling by a point. Seymour has now lost 22 straight games to the Bulldogs, a string that stretches back to 2005.
The Bulldogs scored all 14 of their overtime points from the foul line and ended the game 26 for 41 on free throws. That effort allowed them to overcome a poor shooting night that saw New Albany make just eight of its 35 field goal attempts.
