It’s the first regional title for the ‘Hounds since 2017 and the 20th in program history. Just as important, Carmel had 11 qual- ifiers for the IHSAA state meet, which is set for Friday, June 4 at Ben Davis. The Greyhounds won four events and had seven other qualifiers, with the possibility of a couple callbacks over the next day or two.

But that word is a good way to describe how far the Blackhawks have come. After missing a few weeks at the beginning of the season, Sheridan caught up quickly, and that culminated in a 15-5 sectional final win over the host Hornets. It’s the Blackhawks’ first sectional title since 2007 and the program’s third overall. “It feels really great,” said senior Allie Delph. “Just as a team, we came together and finally pulled it off.” Croddy credited several things for the Blackhawks’ success: “The hard work we put in, the fundamentals we’ve broke down from the very beginning. They came together, they put their whole game together when we really needed it.” Sheridan’s win is also satisfying be- Reporter photo by Richie Hall cause the ‘Hawks were unable to play The Sheridan softball team powered its way to the Class 1A Sectional 54 championship Thursday at Rossville. at the beginning of the season due to The Blackhawks beat the host Hornets 15-5 to win its first sectional title since 2007.
