Sheridan High School Boys and Girls Soccer: Sheridan may not have been at 100%, but had more than enough for a 6-1 season opening win this past weekend.
The Broncs had a few players out on spring break, and a few recovering from basketball, but last weekend’s game was a non-conference contest.
Senior Evan Ballew scored twice in the first 12 minutes of the game and says this game was an opportunity for other players to get some playing time.
Sheridan is last year’s 4A Boys State Runners-Up.
As for the girls, they delivered a 5-nothing shutout in their game this past weekend at Buffalo.
Last year, the Lady Broncs won the regional tournament, and had a record of 15-0 with 1 tie going into the state tournament, then lost 2 games and ended the season with a crash.
Senior Parker Treide says one game in, and she likes what she’s seen so far.

The girls play on the road and the boys at home.
