2007 Inductee Dick Seymour, 1965

Picture

Richard (Dick) Seymour, a 1965 graduate of Bellevue Senior High School, is one of the few athletes to earn nine letters during his tenure at BSHS, during a time when the high school was for three grades only.

A prototypical blue-collar athlete, Seymour earned three varsity letters each in the sports of football, basketball, and track and field. He also played freshman basketball and played some varsity football during his freshman season.

In football, Seymour was first team All-Northern Ohio League both his junior and senior seasons. He led the team to a 7-0-2 mark and to Bellevue’s fourth consecutive NOL football title his senior season.

Seymour also excelled in the sport of track and field, specializing in the shot put event. During the 1965 campaign, Seymour took district and regional titles in the shot put, and qualified to the state meet where he finished state runner-up. His throw of 56-1 ½ set a new district record that season at Sandusky, and his throw of 57-1 ½ set a new regional record at Mansfield. His best throw that senior season was a school-record 58-2 ½ at the state track meet. He was bettered only by Dave Foley of Cincinnati Bacon who set a new state record with a throw of 61-3 ½.

Also during his high school career, Dick was involved in student council, the scholarship team, intramurals, spelldown, NASS, and the Homecoming committee. He was also nominated to attend West Point in 1965, but instead chose to continue his academic and athletic career closer to home.

Dick continued his football career after high school, joining the University of Toledo Rockets football team. He earned letters in 1967, 1968, and 1969 and also captained the Rockets, helping the team to three straight Mid-American Conference football titles. He even scored a touchdown for the Rockets in the 1969 Tangerine Bowl, a 56-33 Toledo victory over Davidson.

Dick resides in Columbus, Ohio.
