Sheridan’s five-game win streak came to a halt Friday night at Seeger.
The Patriots overwhelmed the Class 1A No. 9 Blackhawks 49-7. Sheridan briefly held a first-quarter lead at 7-6, after Evan Bourdon scored a 19-yard touchdown, but Seeger blasted through the remainder of the period, leading 28-7 by the end of the quarter. The Patriots then led 42-7 at halftime.
Blackhawks coach Bud Wright was blunt about the game: “We did not come to play,” he said.
“We just flat out did not do anything,” said Wright. “We didn’t perform at all.”
Bourdon was the leading rusher, with 42 yards.
Sheridan is now 5-2 for the season. The Blackhawks will return to Hoosier Heartland Conference play next Friday at Eastern. The Comets are unbeaten at 7-0 and are 5-0 in HHC play. The ‘Hawks are also 5-0 in the conference, so this game will be pivotal in determining the league champion.
