(La Porte, IN) - The Slicers Football team takes on the undefeated Merrillville Pirates at home tonight.

La Porte looked great in getting their first win of the season last week against Lake Central.  Chip Jones, our very own voice of the Slicers, said Merrillville will be tough to beat due to their size and speed.  But, La Porte has shown noticeable improvement and made some changes that seem to be working on offense.

Kick off at Kiwanis Field is 7 p.m.  The game will be broadcast live on 96.7 The Eagle beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show by Chip Jones and Steve Manering.
