(Michigan City, IN) - The excitement is building over the Michigan City High School football team being a step away from the state finals. The Wolves take on Zionsville Friday night at Ames Field in the semi-state finals.

Michigan City resident Tommy Kalavik appealed to the community to show even more support for the team during last night’s city council meeting.

“I want to thank all of the businesses for getting all of their signs up.  I’d like to see more. It’s a great display of school spirit, school pride, civic pride, and civic spirit,” he said.

Kalavik also wished the team well. “Go, Wolves. Let’s do it,” he said. Councilman Paul Pryzbylinski said he would try his best to be at the game.

“I’m congratulating them and wishing them well,” he said.

The kick-off for the game is scheduled for 7 p.m.
