(La Porte, IN) - High school football returns to Kiwanis Field in La Porte this evening.  So far, the team has remained relatively healthy and there have been no reports of players or members of the coaching staff testing positive for COVID-19 on the Slicers team.

Superintendent Mark Francesconi says COVID-19 testing for players has not been made mandatory.  However, he indicates school personnel are watching closely for any players showing symptoms who they feel should be tested or quarantined.

The Slicers play their season home opener tonight against Penn High School.  Their first game of the season was played last Saturday night at New Prairie, in a game that resulted in a 14 to 0 loss for the Slicers.

Kick off at Kiwanis Field is scheduled for 6:30 pm tonight.  Play by play of the game can be heard on 96.7 The Eagle starting at 6:15 pm.  You can listen on the radio, at 967theeagle.com, or download the 96.7 The Eagle app on your mobile phone.
