The Chargers are Crashing the Findlay Homecoming!

Hi Charger Parents and Fans!!

The Charger team had a GREAT game last weekend.  Maybe our guys love playing in the misty rain.  It looks like they might get another chance to play in it this weekend.  If they like the rain, I'll like the rain.  This week we travel to Findlay.  THIS WILL BE ANOTHER HUGE GAME FOR THE CHARGERS!  Bring your noisemakers and be ready to cheer the guys to another victory. The game starts at 4:00pm so the tailgater will be at 2:00pm.  This is Findlay's homecoming so their campus will be busy.  We will try to get there a little earlier than 2pm. 

Tailgating for Hillsdale fans will take place in the parking lot east of the visitor's stand behind Donnell Middle School. The parking lot is really small so get there early.   The school (Donnell Middle School) address is:  

301 Baldwin Av.; 

Findlay, OH  45840

The parking lot is behind Donnell Middle School.

 

A big thanks goes out to Vonnie Sandner, Nancy Petro, Sharon Meece, and Kathy Weatherhead for bringing post game treats for the players!  Yum!!! 

 Anyone who ordered a button from Vonnie on Saturday September 19th please confirm the order with her at   vonnurse@sbcglobal.net.   Clothing orders are not in yet.  We are anticipating they will be at our game next weekend. (Homecoming Oct. 11 vs. GVSU.)

I wanted to congratulate ( a little late ) Coach Otterbein for getting his 100th win in the game against Indianapolis.  That is truly a noteworthy accomplishment.  Coach, you now have 101 wins and we are looking forward to getting 102 this weekend.  Keep the cigars coming!  

Have you all been checking out the Chargerblue.com website?  Andy Losik is probably the ultimate Charger fan and has bringing us up-do-date news and information about the team and league.  Congratulations also go out to Troy Weatherhead ( GLIAC offensive player of the week against Michigan Tech,)  Mark Petro ( GLIAC special teams player of the week against Indianapolis,) and Vinnie Panizzi ( GLIAC offensive player of the week against Ashland.)  These are all special accomplishments and we are so proud of our guys for all their hard work! ( Should we thank their parents too for raising boys that can throw, kick and run? I can only imagine how much stuff was broken in their (and all of your) homes.  Yikes! )

That's it for this week.  See you all this weekend.  No road trip is too long to support the Hillsdale Chargers!  Rain or shine, we will be in the stands making noise.
