After playing a supporting role behind D1 superstars and Miss Basketball candidates, Sheridan stepped onto center stage as a junior. In a year when most considered West Bloomfield an afterthought, Sheridan led the Lakers back to the State Semifinals. During her All-State junior campaign, Sheridan “Real Deal” Beal averaged 16 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. In the State Semifinals against eventual State Champion Belleville, she scored a team-high 17 points, and was a difference maker with five steals on defense, earning a D1 All-Breslin Team selection. Sheridan’s been even better for the Lakers as a senior. She poured in 34 points and secured nine rebounds in a win vs. Birmingham Groves, 28 points in a win vs. Detroit Edison, 28 points plus eight rebounds in a win vs. Detroit Mumford. Against OAA Red foe Clarkston, Sheridan delivered a memorable 28-point performance to propel West Bloomfield to victory and surpass 1,000 career points. She graduates as an elite talent and a premier guard in her class. Sheridan will be remembered as one of the greats.

Sheridan slashed to the rim to score an and-one layup; she also connected on a pair of mid-range jumpers. Sheridan split defenders with a quick crossover dribble on a drive, absorbed contact in the lane, and converted the timely bucket with under a minute to go.

Sheridan proved to be the steadying force for West Bloomfield last season, stepping up as the team’s lone returning starter from its 2024 state championship squad. Despite heavy roster turnover, the talented guard led the Lakers right back to the Breslin Center with her leadership and elite play. Committed to the University of North Alabama, the 5-foot-9 standout averaged 16.1 points per game and connected on 37 percent of her shots from three-point range, including a 17-point performance in the state semifinals. Her ability to rise to the moment and carry her team on the big stage makes her one of Division 1’s most dependable and dynamic players.
