| Carmel's Adam Shockley, 95, carries the U.S. Flag and leads the team onto the field as Carmel defeated Ben Davis 35-7 at Carmel Friday October 15, 2010. Joe Vitti / The Star |
Friday night was senior night at my son's high school. He was selected by his team mates to carry the flag onto the field at the start of the game and to talk to his teammates in the locker room prior to the game. He was nominated because both of his grandfathers fought in WWII so the coach asked him to talk to the team about his grandfathers. My son plays very little, but loves being part of the team, so this was a very special honor for him. We're very proud parents!!
