Hoosier Authority ‘road show’ is a big hit at Carmel

The
Hoosier Authority Fan Wagon rolled into Carmel Aug. 25 to present the
Greyhounds with the 1st Annual All-Sports Trophy. It was met by a host
of friends, both old and new.

There is an interesting phenomenon at Carmel. On Friday game
nights, the administration lets students move their cars to the
home-side parking lot immediately after school. That means a large
number of students simply stay from the time school is let out until
game time. By the time we arrived they were ready for some fun, and
WagonMan Josh Ember — we call him â??Big Sexyâ? — was just the guy to
get the party started.

The administration welcomed us with open arms. We know that
because they located the Fan Wagon right next to Bubâ??s Burgers. Trust
me when I tell you that these might be the best burgers in the world. I
guarantee they are the best in high school football.

Heights was a worthy but outmanned opponent on this night. Carmel
parlayed a devastating running attack and two interceptions into a 24-0
halftime lead. It never hurts; it turns out, to have the home crowd in
a good mood when you are making a presentation to them. It also doesnâ??t
hurt when we show up with the Hoosier Authority bazooka to shoot some
commemorative T-shirts into the stands.

Hey, we arenâ??t above a little bribery. It all combined for a great
halftime presentation of the trophy to a very deserving winner.

Next
week, the Fan Wagon is off to Columbus for a stop at the
Seymour-Columbus East game. (Meanwhile, Josh is thinking that maybe a
statue outside Carmel Stadium to remember his appearance is in order.)
If you would like the Hoosier Authority Fan Wagon to show up at your school, e-mail us why you think it would be a good stop, and maybe the festivities will be heading your way â?¦
