(La Porte, IN) - La Porte will be gunning for their first win of the season in high school football tonight.

The Slicers hit the road to take on Penn High School. La Porte lost to New Prairie during last week’s season opener. However, superintendent Mark Francesconi is hopeful of a Slicers victory on Friday night. 

“The name of the game is to continue to improve. So, I’m sure they’re working really hard and are determined to get back on the field again to show what they can do,” Francesconi said.

The Slicers have a chance. Penn might not be as strong as in the past, judging by how the Kingsmen were blown out by Valparaiso last week.

Tonight’s game will be broadcast live on 96.7 The Eagle, beginning with the pre-game show at 6:15 PM.
