were Jackson Morris, Evan
Frische, and Jordan Henry.
The Dragons from Silver Creek
came out in the 3rd quarter and
scored two touchdowns while
shutting out the Owls offense to
take a 25-22 lead into the fourth
and final quarter.
The Owls scored on the first
play of the fourth quarter on a
long pass from Quarterback Alan
Perry to Luke Dover to take a 28
-25 lead. The Dragons would
eventually put the game away
with a late touchdown score and
a defensive interception to complete the 32-28 victory.

for 187 yards and three touchdowns. Catching touchdowns

SMS Football Off and Running
The Middle School football season
has begun with both teams having
played three games thus far. The
7th grade has had a very good beginning to their season with two
wins at Shawswick and Madison
with the only loss coming against a tough Columbus Central
team. The team has had
solid performances from
several players but the of
the current standout players are
Cody Ruble, Lane Weddle, and
Isiah Fontanez. All three players
have made considerable contributions on the offense and defensive
sides of the ball. The next game
for this team will be September
3rd at home versus Jennings County.
The 8th grade team is off to a difficult start losing all three of their
games. The team is growing every
day and becoming a more cohesive
group. Although winless the team
has had several bright spots thus
far. Adam Carter has performed
well in his new role as the starting
halfback ,he has also stood out on
the defensive side of the ball playing
a down tackle or a linebacker. Brendan Smith has run the owl
offense as the quarterback and
leading rusher. On the line the
team has welcomed the aggressive
play of newcomer Jackson
Nay. Overall the team continues
to improve and looks forward to
trying to get their first win over
upcoming rival Jennings County.
“Relentless
SAYFL Pushes Game Dates Back
The Seymour Area Youth Football
League (SAYFL) has moved its start
date back to
Saturday, September 12th.
The main reason for the
move is to give
coaches and
players more
time to practice and get acclimated
to their equipment. Many players
joined their respective teams late
and needed more
practices in order to
ensure a safe game
environment later on.
The SAYFL has two
tackle football divisions: 3rd/4th grade
and 5th/6th Grade.

Pursuit of
Excellence”

We are looking forward to another
great season of Youth Football!

JV Football Takes Down Silver Creek
On Monday, August 24th, the JV
Owls headed south to take on the
Silver Creek Dragons. The Owls
scored on the opening possession
of the game and held on for a 6-0
victory. The Owls scored on a
pass from Freshman Quarterback
Nathan O’Mara to Junior Wide
Receiver Bradan Thomasma in the
first quarter.
Because Silver Creek does not have
a Freshman team, the Owls were
able to play a mix of their Freshman
and Junior Varsity teams against
Silver Creek. This allowed multiple
players to play multiple positions
on both sides of the ball.
Kevin Corrales and John Barrett
played well to lead the Owls defense in shutting out the Dragons.
With the win, the Owls start the
year 1-0. The Freshman team will
open up their Freshman season
with a home game against Jeffersonville on Saturday at 10AM. The JV
will play right after the Freshman,
with kickoff scheduled for
11:30AM.
Please come out and support your
Freshman and JV Owls!

south to Jeffersonville to take on the
Red Devils in the first game of HHC
play. Jeffersonville comes into the
game with a record of 0-1 after losing
to Pulaski County (KY) 64-26 in week
1. Pulaski
County is the
#1 ranked
team in 5A in
Kentucky and
is fresh off of a
5A State
Championship
in 2014.
Jeffersonville has an extremely explosive offense, led by Junior Quarterback Cam Northern. Standing 6 foot
4 and weighing 240 pounds, Northern
is a load in the run game and has a big
arm in the passing game. Slot Receiver Isaiah Blanton is a key part of Jef-
