(La Porte, IN) - How La Porte does against Michigan City in high school basketball tonight could hinge on the health of the Slicers players, as a flu bug had a lot to do with the Slicers losing to Portage recently by 50 points.

 

Voice of the Slicers, Chip Jones, said one player was home sick during that game while several other players, obviously, did not feel well.

 

“Hopefully, everybody got well over the weekend because they’re going to need everyone against Michigan City,” he said.

 

Chip also said it should be an interesting game considering both teams have 10-11 overall and 0-6 conference records. Both teams also had similar outcomes against several common opponents this season.

 

The game tonight is at Slicer Gym. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.  96.7 The Eagle will broadcast the game, beginning with the pre-game show at 5:45 p.m.
