New Seymour girls basketball coach Jason Longmeier isn?t having any illusions about finding a player to replace Indiana All-Star Amanda Moore.
He?s looking for an entire team to do it.
Moore, who averaged 23.4 points a game in leading the Owls to a 17-5 season and earning The Republic Athlete of the Year in girls basketball, is at Florida Gulf Coast University.
Gone, too, is veteran coach Beth DeVinney, who is at Lebanon.
?I think our system is so much different than what coach DeVinney?s system?????? really was,? said Longmeier, a former Jennings County girls coach who was a boys assistant for the Panthers last season. ?She always had that one big player. In our system, you can?t focus on just one kid.
?It?s a motion offense, which really gets everybody involved. I think that?s how we?re going to make (Moore?s scoring) up.?
Seymour suffered another big setback this summer when second-leading scorer and point guard Brianna Gillaspy tore an ACL. The 5-foot-7 senior, who averaged 11.0 points and 4.5 assists in earning All-Hoosier Hills Conference honors, could be back in a week or two.
Taylor Gossett, a 5-11 senior, averaged 5.8 points and a team-high 7.3 rebounds. Logan Personett, a 5-8 senior, added 4.4 points.
?She?s probably one of the hardest-working kids I?ve ever coached,? Longmeier said of Personett.
