I have the privilege of traveling with the Hillsdale College Charger Football Team this weekend as they face Minnesota State-Mankato tomorrow in their first ever NCAA Division II playoff game.

We drove to Toledo and spent the night last night before heading out early this morning on a chartered 737 jet. It was a pleasant experience dealing with private security instead of the TSA. They were respectful when digging around in my camera bag.

Charger football players board the jet for Minnesota.

The players relaxed on the plane during the short flight to Minneapolis.

After we arrived we went through the terminal and boarded the buses for Mankato.

I’ll be running off in a few minutes to shoot some team meetings then heading out to practice before the big game tomorrow. Go Chargers!!!
