Owl Hoops Coaches Corner
It was another success-ful summer for Seymour Basketball. In addition to playing over 25 games at all levels, a great camp week, intense strength sessions and countless early morning skill sessions, our guys bonded really well off the court and our seniors and returning letter win-ners have embraced their new roles as pro-gram leaders.
If you’ve seen our camp shirts, you know that our program motto this sea-son is “CHASE IT.” For three years we have talked adamantly about the process and focus-ing on our improvement
each and every day. As all of us know, that is a difficult task, especially in this microwave society (we all want instant grati-fication), so we’ve tried to give our players specific goals, numbers, times, etc. to focus on and CHASE every day within the context of practice, drills and the classroom. By having these measur-able goals and tasks to chase, we have seen a lot of our players more focused and their energy directed towards the small goals on a daily basis. Ultimately this al-lows them to stay mindful of the moment, while pur-suing the big picture goals for our team.
It is hard to believe that practice starts in less than 80 days...our players are working hard to continue elevating this program back to where we all hope and want it to be.
As always, thank you for supporting Seymour Bas-ketball. We know how lucky we are to have such loyal parents, players and community.
Happy Swishes, Coach Clough

Hoosier Hysteria: Save the Date
To kick the summer off, we welcomed nearly 200
boys in grades K-12 to our skills camp. It was an
absolute joy watching players of all levels working to
accomplish goals. We love seeing our campers out
and about in the community and listening to what
they’ve been working on to improve their game.
Our 3rd annual Parent Club Golf Outing was a major
success. We look forward to watching this event
grow every year. Records were set for number of
golfers, hole sponsorships and total money raised for
our Parent Club. We even had a few people rise to
the occasion in wardrobe selection, Team Thompson.
Players truly started to embrace the hard work
and dedication it takes to be an elite competitor
in the weight room. By the end of the summer,
players were well above personal bests and
setting the table for future success. We asked a
lot of our kids this summer and they responded.
Seymour Middle School teams worked on individual,
team and shooting skills on a regular basis this sum-
mer. They had a great time at Hanover team camp
and represented well at our 3rd annual Middle
School summer league. We look forward to watching
these guys grow over the next handful of years.
Beyond working on their individual games, our high
school players competed against some of the top
competition this state and Kentucky had to offer. Our
guys battled in a number of shootouts, the New Al-
bany/Louisville summer league and had a great
weekend in Fort Wayne at D1 team camp.
The summer outdoor league is always a lot of
fun for our young players and older players
alike, who get their first taste as coaches. The
SHS tennis courts serve as the ultimate summer
playground as our kids get a chance to compete
in games under the lights.
