Here at Northwood, everyone enjoys the warm and sunny weather as the school year comes to an end. An old game has recently become popular again. We hockey players like to play a game called “sewer” to warm up, but a slightly different version called “sack” is becoming popular across campus. It is played with a small knitted sack ball.
It has become one of the most popular games here at Northwood. The game caught on as part of a larger national social media-driven trend. It has taken over pretty much every school across the East Coast.
The game is super fun and simple; you stand in a circle and keep the sack up in the air using anything but your hands. You hit it to someone else in that circle. Peter Amigh ’27, one of the main guys who brought this game to our school, was asked what he enjoys most about sacking. “It is a super easy game to play, and all you need is this little ball so that you can play anywhere. It is super fun playing with all your buddies,” Amigh said. When asked about how the sack game was brought to Northwood, he said, “I saw it over spring break online, and I saw that the schools were making their own social media accounts, and I thought to myself, why not bring it here. I know there will be guys who would want to play. So far, the number of people playing it here has been more than I thought,” Amigh said.
The game has brought fun, energetic vibes to school this Spring, bringing people together one last time just as the school year comes to a close. Hopefully, this game lasts as long as possible here. If you want to see the highlights from this game at Northwood, they are below.
