I wanted to say congrats to the Sheridan Blackhawks for a hard fought battle against Ritter in the State Championship finals. For you out-of-towners that don't know, the Hawks lost in the last 40 seconds when Ritter scored a touchdown. We had very little time to try and make something happen to get down the field in the last seconds of the game and it just wasn't meant to be. But you know what? Those boys have to hold their heads high. Very high. They have been the 1A State Champs the last three years in a row and are the runner-ups this year. That is pretty impressive if you ask me! A rare feat in fact. Not many high school players can make a claim like that. This football program is obviously one of the best in the state and has quality people from the top on down.
While I have been living in Sheridan for "only" 13 years we have become big fans of the Hawks. Most of this town has followed the Hawks and Coach Bud Wright all their lives. It has been a pleasure to get to know some the team over the past few months and take the senior pictures of some of the best high school players I've ever seen. They have been fun, polite and respectful in every way and I fully expect to see great things out of all of them, both on and/or off the field, in the future! And I'm sure we will.
