Last weekend’s bus trip from Huntsville, Ala., to Mankato, Minn., wasn’t the worst or the longest excursion the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers ever had to make for a game.<\/span><\/p>\n “In the four years I’ve been here we’ve done some pretty crazy trips,” senior forward Alex Allan said. “Twenty-four hours on a bus to upper New York. Planes to Alaska where we had to connect three times. In my four years, we’ve done it all.”<\/p>\n That 24-hour trip to play St. Lawrence in Canton, N.Y., last season had an unfortunate twist.<\/p>\n “The bus driver took a wrong turn that cost us an extra four hours,” Allan said.<\/p>\n Last week, the Chargers were scheduled to fly to Minnesota to play the Mavericks. However, the massive winter storm that crippled the South canceled their flights and forced them to find an alternative means of travel.<\/p>\n “We get a couple inches of snow in Huntsville, and everybody freaks out,” junior forward Craig Pierce said.<\/p>\n Check out the travel digs to Mankato. Safe to say it all worked out. pic.twitter.com\/m1QbVAdUym<\/a><\/p>\n
