Mishawaka High School in Mishawaka, Indiana is one of the three high schools in Mishawaka. The other two are Penn High School and Marian high school, a catholic school. Mishawaka and Penn are the biggest rivalry schools in Indiana. Mishawaka played Penn five weeks ago, on October 2, 2009. Thousands of people were there, and there was standing room only, people were lined on the track and the stands were filled. Every year both high schools make certain shirts for this occasion (two of the four or five shirts will be in a picture below). We gathered on that first Friday night, in October, it was cold, and raining a bit, at Steele Stadium, at Mishawaka High School. Our Cavemen played one great game, and, for the first time in 29 years, Mishawaka came out in a win! Ending, Penn’s 153 conference games winning streak. The high school student section and the middle school sections were empty at about two minutes left in the game. They were on the track! We beat Penn 26-10.
That was five weeks ago.
New news from Mishawaka. Last night. November 6,2009. Mishawaka and Penn faced each other again for the sectional champion title. It was the best game I have ever been at. SO much energy, and again standing room only! Cavemen did an amazing job in the 1st half, but Penn came back, with even more game than before. Cavemen were down by 4 until the last quarter. 17-21. Then Cavemen came back and got a touchdown! Penn's kicker, the coach's son, went to kick a 39 yard field goal, to tie the score in the last 47 seconds.24-21 Their kicker, is amazing! He has kicked 50 times this season, never missed a field goal, or extra point. But last night, the Cavemen got lucky. Penn kicker kicked too far to the right, missing the field goal, not tying the game. Cavemen, let the clock run out not running anymore plays. and Cavemen beat their arch rivalry for the second time in 35 days, and being named sectional title champions.
We will host the regional champs, 11.13.09 at home, playing Merriville.
There was so much excitement!
Here are some pictures from both the games.
