Hi Charger Parents!
The team had a great game against Indianapolis last Saturday night! Another game in the "win" column. The guys played tough and they denied the Greyhounds a single point. Smelling Coach Otterbein's celebratory cigar smoke out on the field is always a good thing!
This week the Chargers play at Ashland University at 1:00p.m. Ashland will be a tough opponent and all Charger support is needed. Bring your noise makers, relatives and loud friends! The tailgate will begin officially at 11:00a.m. but we all know that some of you will be there early and be all set up by then. If you have any questions, let me know.
Since the game is early in the day, lodging arrangements have been made for the night before. If you have not made arrangements and would like to do so, we are staying at........

The Chargers and traveling to Northwood!
Dear Charger Parents,
I have to start this email by saying the parents, grand parents, relatives, friends and Hillsdale students came out in full force to support the Charger Football team! What an awesome show of support. I have to believe it makes a huge difference to the guys on the field. So I start this by saying, "GREAT JOB CHARGER FANS!!!"
Next on the list....WHAT A GAME!! Our guys did a terrific job beating the Michigan Tech. Huskies. It was an exciting game and we had more points on the board at the end of the game. I love it!!!
This Saturday we take on the Northwood Timberwolves at 12 Noon. That means that once again we have a 10am tailgater. We will meet in the parking lot just south of the Bennett Sports Center. I have included directions so you should have no problems. AGAIN, we will have some folks firing up the grills, so feel free to use them!
If you still need to make Friday night lodging arrangements......

Since this is a road trip for the team, WE NEED 4 VOLUNTEERS TO BRING TREATS FOR THE BUS ride home. You don't need to be Betty Crocker to volunteer for this job. The players are usually ravenous and will eat just about anything after the game. Treats can be store bought or home made. Please email back to me if you are able to help out with this. You will need to supply @3-4 dozen items. Believe me, these things will be devoured. The boys really appreciate the goodies.
Next week we play at home. The following 2 weeks we will be on the road. The following are the lodging arrangements that have been made. Make your RSVP early.
