I have a book of Sheridan football history and I'll share some historical info with you. I believe they used to play Wabash College back at the turn of the 20th Century. Thank you!

Shows that poor sportsmanship and the desire to "grind your opponent into extinction" existed even almost 100 years ago. Maybe, but in a lot of cases it was just the ineptitude of the opposition. Linton was a state power in 1924 and Midland was a small school 6 miles up the road from Linton. That had to be a terrible mismatch. 156 - 0. In fact, Midland has never played football in my lifetime and that goes pretty far back. But not quite to 1924. Although my sister was born in '25. She'll be 97 this month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippy Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 1981 Lafayette Jefferson Football The regional playoff game was at Jeff with 5200 fans on hand. This crowd was the largest to witness a football game in Tippecanoe County since Jeff met West Lafayette in Ross-Ade stadium in the early 1950's. Jeff was playing 11-0 FW Snider. Jeff had a 10-0 halftime lead after Tony Albrecht kicked at 32 yard field goal. Jeff's Joe Downing returned the 2nd half kick off 90 yards for a td and Jeff was up 17-0. Snider then shut Jeff down. Jeff gained only 16 yards rushing and 22 yards passing in the 2nd half. Snider's 2nd string QB, Archie Lunsey, threw a 34 yard td pass to Geoff Williams with 1:26 to go in the game and Snider was up 18-17. Doug Downing threw a pass intended for brother Joe, but the pass was intercepted and the game ended. 1981 was probably Jeff's best chance to make it to state.

Ballhawk Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Tippy - here are some stats on Sheridan football. The Hawks won their 700th game last Friday and Coach Wright won his 440th. 1st game - 1899 vs. Boxley. The team was 2-0 that year with both wins over Boxley, which is now part of Sheridan. 1900 - team was 1-0 with win over Lapel. 1901 - 1st games with Noblesville and Westfield. Sheridan defeated both of them. They are 0-1 vs. Franklin College, 0-1 vs. IU Freshmen team, 0-2 vs. Wabash and 1-0 vs. Wabash B team. The Hawks were 13-11-1 vs. Carmel, 62-25-3 vs. Westfield (most wins vs. any other school), 16-15 vs. Hamilton SE, 25-15 vs. Hamilton Heights and 23-25-2 vs. Noblesville. Their longest rivalry has been Kirklin/Clinton Central. The Hawks were 28-21-3 vs. Kirklin with the first game being played in 1907. They are 48-12-1 vs. Clinton Central. I have more but that gets you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been because Lafayette Jeff fired coach and teacher, Fritz Grosshans in 1925. Jeff students went on strike in February 1925, and for several days the students skipped school. The students had signs that said "We want a New school Board" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to consider that long ago the two largest towns in Hamilton County were Noblesville and Sheridan. Noblesville was larger and the county seat. Fishers, Westfield and Carmel were pretty small. Sheridan would have been a 4A school in basketball in the 1950s. I also learned that the Blackhawks won some mythical state titles in the 1910s and 1920s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
