Game Takes: Sectional at Seymour. Jeffersonville 45 Seymour 27

Thr two Hoosier Hills Conference champions kicked off the Sectional @ Seymour on Tuesday night as the host Owls took on thr Jeffersonville Red Devils. Seymour had beaten Jeff in a previous matchup in December but without junior all State candidate, Tre Singleton. Tre was definitely an X factor tonight as the game was never in question from the opening tip. The Red Devils were just bigger and better, playing bully ball down low with Tre and fellow junior PJ Douglas. Seymour had no answer as Jeffersonville pulled away to avenge their only conference loss, 45-27.

● 6'8 Jeff junior Tre Singleton is becoming the player I've expected all year. Tonight he was a force inside that couldn't be stopped and Jeffersonville even made it a point to feed him the ball. There was a time Singleton demanded the ball which I haven't seen this year. Seymour junior Jaylan Johnson was all over him much of the game but once Tre got the ball it didn't matter. He has an array of post moves and spins and even an outside shot. Things will get tougher down the road if Jeff continues to advance but nobody in this Sectional should have an answer to Tre. He opens up the outside game for guys like senior Jermey Rose and junior Michael Cooper by being a willing passer out of the double. He finished with 19 pts and affected numerous Seymour shots and drives to the basket. Friday should provide an entertaining matchup against Floyd Central big man, Brock Conrad.

● 6'3 junior Jaylan Johnson was a bright spot for the Owls on Tuesday night. Despite being an undersized big Johnson battled with Singleton down low and did what he could offensively. Johnson is an athletic kid that looks to be just coming around on the basketball court (he's a good football player as well). With another summer Jaylan should come into next year as one of the sectionals better and most athletic players. He needs to work on his 10-12 ft. jump shot but down low he is hard to handle. Tonight Jaylan finished with 11 in his final game of the season.

The Owls finish one of their best seasons in recent memory, 18-5 while sharing the conference title for the 1st time ever. The Red Devils despite their record, which is now 16-7 are one of the better and most dangerous teams down south, especially if they can get Tre Singleton involved like they did last night. Jeff moves on to take on the Highlanders of Floyd Central at 6:00 on Friday.
