This is the first Indiana high school football season to begin without Bud Wright as Sheridan head coach since 1965.

Wright, the IHSAA's all-time wins leader, and Sheridan split last year after the school said it had agreed with Wright during the season it would be his final year as coach . Wright disagreed, saying the administration forced him out . Wright is helping out at North Miami this season, while one of his former players and assistant coaches, Jake Chesney, begins a new era as Blackhawks coach.

And a lot has changed since someone other than Bud Wright was Sheridan High School head football coach. For instance:

Lyndon B. Johnson was president.

" The Sound of Music " was the No. 1 movie in America.

" Wooly Bully " by Sam The Sham and the Pharaohs was the No. 1 song
