During halftime of the Mudsock Football Game, someone tried to congratulate Fishers High School Principal Jason Urban when his school was leading HSE 21-0. Urban refused to accept the congratulatory message. He reminded the fan that there was another half of football to play.
Urban has been around long enough to know how momentum can quickly change in a rivalry football game. HSE High School won the big contest by scoring 39 points in the second half and coming out on top at the end, 39-33. It was a satisfying win for the Royals and a bitter defeat for the Tigers.
But HSE High School was not the biggest winner. The HSE School Corporation honored the Teachers of the Year at halftime. The HSE Schools Foundation sold out on their VIP game tickets for a very successful fundraiser. The Pasta Bowl collected boxes of pasta for area food banks.
The annual Mudscock Game is not just one of the biggest events of the year in Fishers, it benefits a number of important causes. In that respect, everyone in Fishers benefits…even Tiger fans.
