September 11, 2001 – We Remember

Today we remember one of the most difficult days in our nation’s history. Out of the tragedy of 9/11 came extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and unity that showed the true spirit of America.

We honor the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the strength of a nation that stood together in the face of adversity.

May we always cherish our freedom, honor those who protect it, and live with the same resilience that carried our nation forward.

We will never forget. We remember.

9/11 remembrance
Congratulations to Sheridan Yellowjacket assistant football coach Glennon Bobo, who will be among those honored as 2025 inductees to the Henderson State University Athletic Hall of Honor. Henderson State announced earlier today: “For the 28th time in school history, Henderson State will bestow the highest athletic honor the university has to offer on a group of Reddie legends this fall when they are added to the Hall of Honor as a part of the 2025 class.” Below is the bio the Reddies posted about Bobo.

GLENNON BOBO (Category I: Football and Men's Basketball)
A terror for the Reddies at defensive end for some of the best teams in school history, Glennon Bobo was a four-year standout for Henderson State from 2011 to 2014. A three-time All-GAC selection and a two-time first team honoree in 2013 and 2014, Bobo ranks second all-time at Henderson State in tackles for loss with 46.5 in 43 games played. Bobo compiled 13.5 or more tackles for loss the last three years of his career in Arkadelphia as well as 13 sacks and six forced fumbles. A two-time All Super Region 3 selection as a junior and senior, Bobo helped lead the Reddies to GAC championships in 2012 and 2013. Henderson State was 43-8 overall during his college career. He was named to the GAC Football All-Decade Team in 2020.

The Reddie Hall of Honor induction ceremony will take place on Friday, Oct. 10 in Henderson State’s Garrison Center Grand Ballroom. #YJNation #ExcellenceEveryDay

Throwback Thursday

In 1913, Sheridan students moved into a new two-story brick building (still in use today as the district’s administration building) constructed just south of the old frame school (near where Sheridan Middle School currently sits). A 1911 warranty deed from J.L. Butler, president of the Sheridan school board, and T.C. Rushing, secretary of the board, shows that one acre of land for this facility was purchased from W.D. McDonald for $18.50. There is also a mortgage record dated 1912 to the State Bank of Chicago for $12,000 to “build and equip a new building, at six percent per annum, payable semi-annually.” The original building was described in a 1917 handbook as containing, “seven rooms and a chapel suitable for classwork, and is well equipped with desks and books.”

(Pictured is the Sheridan High School student body of 1927, along with teachers and elementary students in front of the 1913 building.)

Throwback Thursday

As the Yellowjackets prepare for another exciting football season, it seems fitting to tip our hats to Sheridan's first football team, a rugged bunch pictured here in 1924. Notice that helmets at that time were made of leather and none had facemasks. Those in the picture appear loose-fitting and seem to also lack chin-straps.
