2016 will go down in history as one of the most exciting Mudsock Football Games of all time.  The annual regular season contact between the two Fishers High Schools featured the usual packed house and screaming cheering sections.  It was also a very good football game.

HSE High School opened up the scoring for a 7-0 lead.  Fishers came roaring back and held a lead well into the second half.  HSE made its move and took the lead late in the contest. Then Fishers made a last minute defensive stand, got the ball back and kicked a field goal to tie the score at 30-30.

As the overtime was preparing to start, the stadium was evacuated for stormy weather in the area.  But play began again within minutes and HSE High pulled out a 33-30 overtime win against arch-rival Fishers High.

One of the biggest parts of the annual Mudsock game is the halftime recognition for teachers of the year in each district school building.  That included HSE High School Teacher of the Year in the entire school district, Julie Alano.
