The REPORTER
Sheridan pulled away from Western Boone in the third quarter Monday night, propelling the Blackhawks to a 61-44 victory over the Stars at Larry Hobbs Hall.
The game was moved from Saturday to Monday to accommodate the Sheridan girls basketball team, who played in the semi-state that day. The Blackhawks boys team got out to a strong start, leading WeBo 21-16 after one quarter. Trey Page scored 13 points in the opener, including three 3-pointers.
The Stars cut Sheridan’s lead to 29-28 by halftime, but the ‘Hawks responded with a 19-7 third quarter, then added another 13 in the fourth. Caleb Wright had two triples in the second half and went 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.
Wright totaled 17 points, he finished with three 3s. Wright was the first of four double-digit scorers: Page scored 13, Trent DeCraene added 12 and Tyler Garner scored 11. Damon Winston had eight points, six rebounds and four assists, while Garner also collected six rebounds. DeCraene dished out nine assists, Caleb Wright had five rebounds and Page, Carson Wright and Devon Hamilton all had four.
Sheridan is 12-8 for the season. The Blackhawks’ game with Fountain Central that was scheduled for Tuesday was canceled, so the ‘Hawks will host Waldron Friday for their regular-season finale.
