☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🏀 Sheridan basketball pulls off a nail-biter against New Lexington. After a tough history against the Panthers, the Generals showcased their growth, with sophomores Tyce Whiteman and Logan Russell scoring a combined 36 points in a narrow 65-63 victory. This win marked a much-needed turnaround for Sheridan, who had previously struggled to maintain leads. Coach Doug Fisher expressed pride in his team's mental toughness, a stark contrast to their past performances. Meanwhile, the New Lexington squad is grappling with turnover challenges, seeking to reclaim their defensive prowess as they look ahead to upcoming matches.
🏀 New Lexington’s basketball squad is prepping to defend their championship title as they approach the new season, but they're doing so with a bit of a late start. Following a successful football campaign, two-thirds of the roster joined the basketball practices a little behind schedule, leading to a condensed training plan as shared by head coach Jeremy Duerr. Despite the challenges, the team looks to build on last year’s success and instill a focus on hard work rather than resting on past laurels. The Panther's first game is set for December 3rd against Chillicothe, followed by a matchup against last year’s big school winners, Tri-Valley. Coach Duerr emphasizes that the path to victory lies in daily effort and dedication, as they look forward to a promising season ahead.
