It was an exciting tournament, Saturday, at Biddle Memorial Park that came down to the wire.

This was the Sheridan Horseshoe League's first open tournament of the season. Several pitchers from central Indiana showed up at the courts in Biddle's Memorial Park. The league ran two sessions in order to common date all pitchers.

It was Richard Law who led the Sheridan Horseshoe League in week two.

Law finished first in three out of four categories. The hot-pitching Law's performance helped his team, JBS United, stay in first place.

The ceremony was short, sweet and brought tears to the eyes of many in attendance.

Last Saturday — on Opening Day of the Sheridan Recreation Program’s baseball season — several hundred people gathered around Diamond 1 at Biddle Memorial Park for the revealing of “The Joe Grinstead Jr. Memorial Field.”

Joe Grinstead Jr. died on April 7, after he lost a battle with a rare, fast-acting tumor. Those who knew him knew he was always ready to pitch in and help without hesitation, Sheridan Town Council Vice President Steve Fisher said to the mixed crowd of Grinsteads and their friends.

Friday night’s varsity baseball game between Sheridan and Indianapolis Washington was called after four innings because of darkness with the Blackhawks leading 22-2.

Sheridan opened the onslaught with four runs in the top of the first inning and followed with 10 runs in the second.

Washington pushed two runs across in the bottom of the frame, but Sheridan answered with another eight runs in the third.

Horseshoe pitching is a sport that became popular during the glory days of Rome. The horseshoe toss grew into one of the most played games around. Whether at picnics, or company and family gatherings, people would gather for some fun and relaxation.

The Sheridan Horseshoe League is ready to start another summer of fun and relaxation at the Biddle Memorial Park courts.The league will have its Organizational Meeting on May 1 at 6:30 p.m. Rain or shine you can find information, as some of the members will be at the courts April 21 between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.

For the second time in the last week, Sheridan gave No. 4 Frankton all they could handle. And, for the second time in the last week, the Blackhawks came up on the short end.

Frankton (22-3) erased an early deficit Friday night to defeat Sheridan (11-12) 72-63 in a semifinal game in the Class 2A Sectional 40 bracket at Lapel. Senior Ange Gnamkey scored a game-high 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting for Sheridan, who was unable to hold on to a first-quarter lead. The Blackhawks jumped out to a 15-14 advantage after one, but the Eagles used a 19-16 second quarter to take a two-point edge into the half. 

Audrey Reed of Sheridan is one of Hoosier Basketball Magazine's Top 60 senior girls’ basketball players for 2017-18.

Reed and the other 59 players were selected from approximately 1,400 senior players statewide. Statistical evaluation, game observation and statewide research were conducted during the season and throughout the state tournament to determine Hoosier Basketball Magazine's Top 60.

Two sessions of the 37th annual Top 60 Senior Workout will be sponsored by Hoosier Basketball Magazine in conjunction with the IHSAA and the IBCA on March 4 at Heritage Christian.
