Sheridan, who is a senior, is a pitcher and centerfielder.

Sheridan was a first-team all-district player his sophomore year.

What do you enjoy most about playing your sport?

I love playing with my team and I love having coach Blake and all of my coaches helping me out through thick and thin and troubles I’ve had. I love being there for my team and helping them out when they need me the most.

What do you like best about being a student athlete?

Knowing that I have to push my hardest to keep my grades up, doing things for the school and making sure I’m on the right path for when I get out of school and knowing I’m on the right path for a successful life.

Who has been the most influential person in your school sports career? Why?

My mom (Rhonda Sheridan) because she’s been there since I was little pushing me to do my best.
