The Lady Jackets basketball team was recently acknowledged at the Sheridan School Board meeting for their accomplishments this year and making it to the state championship game where they placed second in the state.
The Sheridan Peoples Bank Yellowjackets Junior American Legion team ended a busy weekend by playing for the championship of the Sheridan Junior Tournament on Sunday. But a 5-4 loss to White Hall cost them the championship.
The team opened the tourney with a 5-2 loss to Bauxite on Friday but bounced back to whip the El Dorado Drillers 8-3 and the Acme Brick Black Cats, 10-2, on Saturday. In a wild semifinal on Sunday, the Jackets scored 10 runs in the top of the 10th inning for a 21-11 win over Bauxite. The championship game followed.
The Sheridan Taylor & Lunsford Yellowjackets Junior American Legion team went 2-1 last week improving to 8-2 on the season. On Monday, they outslugged the Acme Brick Black Cats, based in Magnet Cove, 12-9. On Friday, as part of the Sheridan Junior Tournament, the Jackets defeated Acme Brick Red, 9-4, before being edged by Bauxite, 9-4, on Saturday.
Taylor & Lunsford is now 8-2 on the season. The team’s next outing is set for Saturday with a twinbill at Texarkana.
The Sheridan McCoy-Tygart Yellowjackets Senior American Legion team was short-handed all week but managed to win two of their three games, nonetheless.
On Friday, Tyler Cleveland, Hunter Hicks and Nathan Kirkpatrick combined on a six-inning no-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader against the Bryant Black Sox AA team, a 14-0 win. In the second game, Kirkpatrick and Austyn Wright allowed just two hits in an 18-3 romp over the Sox.
