The late Myrlon Seims was one of the finest high school basketball coaches in the history of the Fox Valley. From 1939-53, he coached Appleton High School basketball teams to six league titles and a 247-63 record.

In 1980, the Wisconsin High School Basketball Coaches Association inducted Seims into its Hall of Fame. In 1966, Appleton West High School also honored Seims by naming the school's gymnasium after him.

From 1923-26, Seims was a member of the UW-Oshkosh football team. In 1923, Seims helped the Titans win a league championship. He also played on the basketball team while at UW-Oshkosh, leading the team to a conference title in 1925.

After graduating from UW-Oshkosh in 1927, the New London native taught and coached at Hudson High School. He then moved on to Appleton High School, where he coached both basketball and football. He left coaching in 1953 and taught classes until his retirement in 1966.
