Sportsmanship was on full display on Jan. 19 in Fishers as rivals teamed up to raise thousands of dollars to help a badly-injured high school wrestler.

As first reported in the pages of the Reporter, Hamilton Southeastern sophomore Harrison Rich suffered a severe spinal cord injury during a match in December. He is currently at Riley Hospital for Children, waiting to be transferred to a hospital in Chicago.

Last Wednesday, HSE and Carmel squared off in a meet but came together in collecting more than $3,200 in donations. The money will go to help offset travel costs for the family.

As of Jan. 26, a GoFundMe page has also collected nearly $20,000.
