Sheridan took a trip to Seeger on Friday and returned with a 21-0 victory.
After a scoreless first half, the Blackhawks got going in the second half. Jacob Jones got Sheridan’s first points of the game on a three-yard rushing touchdown late in the third quarter.
Sheridan then added two more scores in the fourth period. Gavin Reners took off on an 80-yard scoring rum early in the quarter. Then at the midway point of the period, Keegan Hampton grabbed an interception and took it 79 yards into the end zone.
Reners finished the game with 154 yards on 27 carries. Owen Bell kicked all three extra points. Sheridan’s defense also played well, limiting the Patriots to only five yards rushing.
The Blackhawks are 5-2 for the season. Sheridan returns to Hoosier Heartland Conference play next week when it travels to Eastern. The Comets are 5-0 in HHC play, while the Blackhawks are 4-1. Carroll is right behind these schools with a 3-1 record, and Sheridan hosts the Cougars to finish the regular season on Oct. 15.
