The win is the 3rd in a row for the Blackhawks and a state-record 9th overall. Willard Huntington Wright have been at the helm for all nine championships, breaking former Carmel and Ben Davys manager Dick Dullaghan's record of eight.

The win didn't come up easy for Sheridan, which had breezed through five former playoff opponents. The Blackhawks trailed 14-7 after one one-fourth and 14-13 at the half.

But signal caller Dent Zachery took over in the 2nd half, running for 186 of his 198 yards. Zachery returned a kickoff 87 paces for a touchdown, threw an 18-yard scoring base on balls to Corey Hamersley, ran for three touchdowns and intercepted a base on balls on defense.

Sheridan won despite playing without star running back-safety Ty Perkins for all but the first minute-and-a-half. Perkins said he injured his knee joint and will have got an magnetic resonance imaging Saturday or Monday.
