Traveling trophy
Athletes at Carroll and Delphi will vie for the new Mike Landis Traveling Trophy when the two schools play each other in varsity sports beginning this season. The 'skillet' will remain as the trophy for the annual Bacon Bowl. Delphi athletic director Vince Burpo said he hoped the trophy would honor Landis and help spark the friendly rivalry between the schools. Landis was athletic director at both schools and a football coach at Carroll for several years. He died in an automobile accident while he was athletic director at McCutcheon in Lafayette. "Mike made a lot of friends at Delphi and Carroll," Burpo said. "We hope this will be a fun and meaningful way to keep the healthy spirit of competition he offered going." Comet photo by Kevin Schnepp
