Batter My Heart, Hillsdale Chargers
Written by Aidan Cyrus
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but my little sports-loving heart is at its breaking point. I have not seen a sports game for nine months, which in sports years is about a decade, if my math is correct. My earliest memory of Hillsdale sports took place more than a year ago, between our beloved Chargers and the Michigan Tech Huskies. I remember the ball sailing through the uprights and students chanting, “Touchdown for the boys! Touchdown for the boys!” The packed student section was covered in blue smoke from handheld smoke bombs. Men from Simpson Residence occupied the first few rows of the student section and made “conversation” with the opposing team’s kicker.
