A Mudsock game is always more than a sporting event, it is a community celebration. Unfortunately, at the end of the game, someone has to lose and their celebration ends. But even with that, most people in and around Fishers enjoy taking in the Mudsock contest, be it football or basketball.
The HSE High School gym was filled to capacity with Tiger and Royal fans Friday night. The basketball game itself was one of the best I have seen in some. time. Both teams had their surges during the game, but it ended in a 45-45 tie, so an overtime period was tacked-on to determine the winner. The Tigers held on for a hard-fought 54-51 win.
Several local TV stations were on hand for live broadcasts during local newscasts. Lots of other sports media paid a visit to the HSE gym.
