Sheridan High School (Indiana)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sheridan High School (Sheridan, Indiana) has had notable success in football in recent years, winning Class 1A Indiana state championships in 1980, 1984, 1987, 1988, 1992, 1998, 2005 and 2006 under coach Larry "Bud" Wright, Indiana Hall of Fame Coach. 2006 marked the program's eighth state championship - tying a state record. Wright's eighth championship as a head coach also ties the state mark.
For years, the key has been a strong offensive running game lead by fundamentally strong line and running game. Blackhawks running attack has been an anchor to the impressive ground attack. Speed and strength in the backfield has traditionally led to a 1-2 punch for the explosive Hawk offense. This coupled with quickness and speed on defense creates a program similar to those in Texas.
In the 1940's and 50's, Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame coach Larry Hobbs led Sheridan teams to remarkable successes.
