Coming off of a season of uncertainty, many football players were able to rejoice in signing day, a culmination of their successes at the college pave a way to the future. Chalking up almost 30 players going to four-year universities to continue to play and learn with the experience of College of DuPage under their belts. While only a handful of the students who attend the college participate in sports, it would be fair to say that everyone who walks through the college is molded in some way by the experiences and opportunities that the college offers.

Many call the college a back-up plan or a junior college, often in an attempt to discredit the institution or those that attend and while in a joking matter or not, it should be avoided. Whether or not this for students, putting it or yourself down in any way is ridiculous. While the college might not offer dorms or the “college experience” that has been fetishized through pop culture, what it offers is opportunity; an opportunity that wouldn’t be there without the college in place. No story is the same, and it shows through the student population
at the college. Whether other medley of reasons, there’s a place for everyone. Following the words of Stephen Stills as he penned his 1970 Billboard chart hit, “if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with”. If you embrace the college for what it is, gather as many experiences through taking those opportunities afforded to you, then success will follow. While the college might not be endless weekend keggers, huge rallies and sneaking into giant lecture halls without getting caught, it is an education at a fraction of the cost of a university and of-
living on large campus in The experience you have is ultimately up to you and the choices you make. Whether you are moving towards transferring to a university, getting a the college or trying to in the great chess game that is life, remember the positives and experiences that wouldn’t have been possible without the college, such as good experiences with teachers, the facilities or anything else. As Kanye West shared with the world in 2007, “everything I’m not, made me everything I am.”

‘Nature of the beast’ said. “They were sharp, they were polished and we were fresh out of an indoor facility.” The good news is Tyrrell has a feeling the Kirkwood squad will be the best team they face all season, along with their games against Heartland, Lincoln land and Madison.

It is no secret that it was a disappointing season for the Chaparral men’s baseball team last year. year with an 8-29 record and did not make any waves in postseason play. With head coach Kevin Tyrrell going into his second year, he has hopes for major improvement. “Last year’s team had a lot of holes and we did our those holes,” Tyrrell said. One of these holes was found in the middle Kyle Hunsinger already has the starting job but the second base position is boiling down to either second year Chaps player Zach Jarosz or freshman transfer Matt Soria. “Kyle Hunsinger is, in my opinion, the best defensive shortstop in the region,” Tyrrell said. “… [Soria] and Zach are both pushing for time at second base, but if Zach doesn’t win that job, he for us or even some outAs the baseball team for a community college, Tyrrell and assistant coach Mark De Leo can expect to lose several players
season after season as they transfer to different schools. When this happens coupled with the loss of key players due to academic reasons, a team could be tions like one of the starting pitchers also being the case with the Chaps. “That’s the nature of the beast,” Tyrrell said. “Without scholarships you can’t expect to have depth, you can hope for it but can’t expect it.”
However, a coach will always hold his breath for those players who will return and provide not only depth but also leadership. It may be a stretch to label them as veterans but they do possess the experience of having already played a season of Chaparral baseball and have a better understanding of the program. Tyrrell pinpointed three qualify as these team veterans: Zach Jarosz, Kelton Zimmerman and Mack
Mondala. He commented on the players’ versatility and looks for them to be leaders this season. Unfortunately, the season has not started how the Chaps would have liked it to as they lost a doubleheader to Kirkwood College Monday night 9-0 and 10-1. “They are a real good division II team, if they don’t compete for a national championship I’d be very shocked,” Tyrrell
are against the toughest teams so it could potentially be a very shaky start for the Chaps. “That’s sort of by design; we start off against the toughest competition so we know where we need to be by the end of the season,” Tyrrell said. The coach also added that the regional play is where the team would like to be most successful. “If you win a regional you go to the world series. So if we’re playing our best baseball in early may then we have to be happy with that,” Tyrrell said. Not only will the Chaps being facing off against some of their toughest opponents to start the season but they will also play every one of these early season games on the road.

Of course, this will be a chance for the players to build their team chemistry as they will spend at the season travelling to various away games. Tyrrell, drawing from his own experiences, believes that is on these long road trips when the team develops that essential sense of camaraderie. “I think that a lot of the guys I played with look back and the time we spent in the vans or the bus were some of our fondest memories,” Tyrrell said. Still, the coach recognizes that travelling does take a toll on the players in addition to having to balance their class schedules. But this is the life of a student athlete. As far as the rest of the season is concerned, Tyrrell hopes to improve each game but understands the provide a great challenge. “It’s not that hard to fathom starting the season 0-13 or 0-14,” Tyrrell said. “If that happens be some disappointment because teams need to learn how to win, but it leaves us with a hole to dig out of.” “Coach [De Leo] and I were talking and it sounds really low in our standards, but we’d be happy with a .500 season.” The Chaps’ next game will be at Johnson County as they travel to Kansas for a weekend series.
