,ov Football is THE sport at SHS, credit for this being due in no small way to Coach Charles Whitworth, With the addition of this year's 10-1 record fincluding a forfeit by North Little Rock Jonesj, the coach can claim an eight year total of '71-9-2!

As is fast becoming customary, the season began with a shut-out over Whitehall, The Bulldogs watched helplessly as a succession of Yellowjacket backs crossed the goal line, rolling up a score of 49-O, Guided by Eddy Easley, Dan Walters, and Dave Ingram, the three offensive strings made a spectacular showing. The Sheridan offense also enjoyed a field day in the con- ference opener against Little Rock Metropolitan. Eight different Jackets hit pay dirt to crush the Wolves, 55-O. Metropolitan was never able to penetrate deeper than the Sheridan thirty- five, Bryant was humbled, 31-O, becoming Sheridan's third consecutive shut-out victim, Halfback Bill Sites scored twice as did Don Webb, and fullback Rodger Haynes tallied once.
