Open House for Coach Bud Wright Sunday

On Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., the Sheridan Historical Society is hosting an open house salute to the life and coaching career of retired Sheridan Blackhawk football coach Bud Wright.

Indiana’s winningest coach, Wright was Sheridan’s football coach for more than 50 years. His teams won nine Indiana state football championships. Hundreds of young men played for him, many went on to play the game in college and a few even went on to play at the professional level.

The Sheridan Historical Society invites all former players and their families, all coaching and teaching colleagues and all other individuals associated with Coach Wright in some way or another to attend this event honoring his storied career as one of Indiana’s premier football coaches.

The event takes place at the Society’s Museum, located at 315 S. Main St. in Sheridan. Light refreshments will be served.
