Hillson Stories


Let’s start with one of our favorite topics, Coach Hillson. All of us have Harry Hillson stories. If you don’t have a good Coach story, I feel sorry for you. I’ll start!

We were working in the concession stand at a football game and the soda machine was broken. Andy McNab tells Coach there is no soda coming out of the Coke part. Coach tells Deeks to get out of the way, pulls his screw driver out of his back pocket, and proceeds to dismantle the soda fountain that gives Coke.

During this I am in the process of giving a fine patron a hot dog and all of the sudden an 8 foot stream of Coca Cola comes shooting past me, on to the track, and all over a ton of people. I look back and see Coach just flipping out while Coke is erupting from the once in tact fountain.

Stunned, and not quite knowing what to do, our fearless leader sacrifices himself by leaping in front of the geyser of Coca Cola, screaming for us to turn off the power to the soda machine. Soda is being bombarded off is chest, small children are crying, and there are 8 college baseball players that are laughing hysterically. After a few moments at just starring in awe of this amazing act of courage, someone actually turned off the soda machine.

In the end, we had still had no Coca Cola in the one fountain, the concession stand was in chaos, and Coach was drenched with soda. Hilarious!

That is just one out of a million memories that have been provided by our friend, Harry Hillson. Now it is your turn. Make sure you keep it as clean as possible!

This is not a Hillson story, but do you guys remember the prank SID played on the AD (Maisner?) at regionals at Ship? He changed the time on his alarm clock so he woke up at like 5 AM. He got up and sat at the restaurant waiting for the team. He never realized it was only 5 AM.
