The annual varsity football game between Fishers and HSE High Schools is a big football game….a VERY big football game to be sure. But it is much more than that.
The Mudsock Game is a chance for people living in the Fishers area to gather in one place for an important local event. That doesn’t happen very often.
It is always a chance to fund important programs. The Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation has one of their biggest fund raising events of the year connected to this game with their VIP area. I am told the foundation sold-out VIP tickets once again this year.
This is also the center of a fund raising effort to provide pasta to those in need. The Pasta Bowl asks for donations of pasta, distributed to local food banks and township trustees.
The best part of this year’s Mudsock Game? – the weather. Last year’s monsoon rains were a challenge to everyone. This year, rain and storms thankfully stayed away from Fishers.
Congratulations to The Tigers and Coach Rick Wimmer on their Mudsock Game win. To the Royals and their Coach Adam Morris, there is always next year.
