  • October continues to hex Blackhawks

    It has been a cruel October for the Sheridan Blackhawks on the football field. Through August and September, SHS was 4-1, state-ranked and looking very much like the powerhouse program it has been for decades.
    Then the witching month arrived.
    What happened next was like a bad spell from an evil witch. The Blackhawks opened the month with a 28-14 loss to Seeger. That was followed by a 49-14 beatdown from thorn-in-the-side Eastern and then Friday, Carroll, which had only won two games coming in, topped Sheridan by 16, 38-22.

  • Eastern dumps SHS

    A season that started so promising has gone through a rough patch for the Sheridan Blackhawks football team.
    Sheridan started the year by beating the defending Class 2A state champs, Western Boone and then thrashed Class 3A Benton Central by 42 points to go 2-0. A setback against Tri-Central was followed with a couple more victories and a 4-1 mark.
    Since then, it’s been nothing but rough roads. The once state-ranked SHS gridders fell to Class 2A Seeger by a couple of scores and then last week lost any chance at a Hoosier Heartland Conference title when 8th-ranked Eastern Comets drilled the Blackhawks 49-14.

  • SHS falls to Seeger; Eastern next

    Two powerhouses came into last week’s game sporting 4-1 records. After Sheridan and Seeger battled to a two-score difference, Seeger left with a 5-1 mark and Sheridan fell to 4-2.
    Owen Snedeker threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Patriots to a 28-14 victory.

  • Cameron Hovey leads Blackhawks to romp

    Cameron Hovey continues to run all over Hoosier football teams this season. After rushing for more than 300 yards in a single game earlier this year, he led the Blackhawks again with 224 yards and five touchdowns in a 65-22 beatdown of Hoosier Heartland Conference foe Taylor Friday night.
    Sheridan is the 12th-ranked team in Class A and goes up in size the next two weeks when it takes on Class 2A's Seeger (4-1 overall) and undefeated conference foe Eastern, the 9th-ranked team in 2A.

  • SHS gridders roll over Clinton Prairie, 34-7

    Hoosier Heartland Conference foe Clinton Prairie was just what the doctor ordered for the 14th-ranked Sheridan Blackhawks.
    After falling to ranked Tri-Central 21-0 on Sept. 4, the Hawks have had plenty of time to sit and think -- and get angry.
    And even though the game didn't start so well, Cameron Hovey’s 55-yard touchdown run gave the visiting Blackhawks the lead just before halftime and Sheridan never looked back in a 34-7 win.

  • Tri-Central hands Blackhawks first loss

    Tri-Central scored one touchdown in each quarter except the third and held the sixth-ranked Sheridan Blackhawks scoreless in a 21-0 Hoosier Heartland Conference opener for both teams on Sept. 4.
    The victory negated another strong rushing performance from senior Cameron Hovey who ran 25 times for 109 yards. Hovey also recorded a game-high 15 tackles, including one for a loss.

  • 6th-ranked SHS rolls over BC 48-6

    It’s been 12 years – the 2008 season – since Sheridan started a football season 2-0. Well, after the Blackhawks’ 48-6 romp over Benton Central, SHS is undefeated going into week three.
    And it started quickly for the Black and White. Silas Devaney’s 57-yard touchdown run triggered a 28-point first quarter and the Blackhawks never looked back.

  • Blackhawks topple two-time defending state champ Webo

    Silas Devaney’s only pass attempt of the night proved to be the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter, a 34-yard toss to Cale Cummings, that allowed the 12th-ranked Class A Blackhawks to upset top-ranked and two-time defending Class 2A state champion Stars.
    Cameron Hovey’s two-point conversion run proved decisive when Western Boone’s Robby Taylor scored on a 1-yard run to pull within a point. The Stars went for the win with a two-point try but Sheridan stuffed the run to hold on to victory.

  • High school sports coming back

    OK, some positive news.
    And this should put a little extra spring in the steps of Indiana high school athletes this summer.
    The IHSAA issued a statement this week that it plans to waive the rule for the annual moratorium week.
    It was scheduled for June 29-July 5, 2020.
    But, at this point, all high school-sponsored activities can now resume on July 1.

  • Brad McKinney takes top honors

    The Sheridan Horseshoe league had its second interleague tournament this week. The league voted on having two interleague tournaments, one in the beginning of the year and the other in the middle of the year to separate the first half of the season from the second half.

    Brad McKinney took first place as he was pitching hot right out of the gate. Close behind him was Mike McKinney who easily had one of his best games all season in his final game of the night.
