![On April 17, PE department lead, John Sheridan counts off students into teams during his competitive sports and games class. As a basketball coach, you might expect Sheridan to have his favorite unit be basketball, but this is not the case. "being a basketball coach, I think basketball's probably one of my least favorite [activities]... I'm a huge baseball Fan, and so I like to play softball, I'm always the pitcher, so I'm more active and more into it.
