There was a football Mudsock Game played in 2020, but the crowd was limited and the atmosphere was nothing like the past.  Over the years, this Friday in September has grown to one of the biggest (some say the biggest) event each year in Fishers.

Thousands of fans cram into one of the local football stadiums, this year Fishers was the home team.  Home field advantage didn’t help the Tigers as the HSE Royals came up with a convincing win, 45-13.

The game is not all of what the Mudsock event entails.  The teachers of the year in buildings throughout the HSE District are honored at halftime.

The weather was perfect and a sellout crowd enjoyed just being at the event after the lockdowns and limited crowds in 2020.

This was our new Superintendent’s first Mudsock Game.  I asked Dr. Yvonne Stokes what she thought of the huge crowd.  Let’s just say she was impressed.

There was a major glitch in the second half of the game.  The scoreboard no longer worked, so game time was handled by the officials on the field, leading to a little confusion at times but it had no impact of the outcome of the contest.
