The first big weekend of the season for Jackson County boys basketball teams has come and gone, and left some teams hopeful and others with a lot of work to do.
The rivaly games didn’t turn out as close as I thought they would Friday night as Seymour defeated Brownstown 77-54, and Crothersville cruised past Medora 52-29, spoiling coach Mark Morin’s coaching debut with the Hornets.
Trinity Lutheran came up against its strongest opponent of the season, Switzerland County, and was handed its first loss of the season, 71-4
Trinity bounced back Saturday night at Shoals, while Crothersville got off to a poor start at Rock Creek Christian and lost.
The Owls, Braves and Tigers have conference games scheduled this weekend, and Seymour and Browntown already have one conference loss.
Seymour will be home to Jeffersonville, and Brownstown will be home to Scottsburg in Friday games, while Crothersville travel to Borden Saturday. Borden owns a win over Rick Ceek.
Trinity and Medora, both independents, will be home Friday with the Cougars playign host to Rock Creek, and Medora will take on Martinsville Tabernacle.
Girls teams
The Seymour girls got off to great at 4-1, including a 75-65 win last Thursday at Brownstown. Brownstown bounced back from that loss to defeat Eastern at home Saturday aftenroon.
Trinity had an easy time defeating Medora for the second time this season.
I’m not sure what Medora coach Brad McCammon has asked Santa Clause for Chritmans, but I would imagine it included players that could: 1, score, adn 2, handlt the ball.
The Crothersville girls battled a strong South Central team on even terms for three periods before ending up losing by 10.
