(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte will play its first high school football sectional game of the season tonight. 

The Slicers (3-6) will be at Chesterton.  The Trojans (5-4) defeated the Slicers 34-14 in September.  Our very own voice of the Slicers, Ben Davis feels La Porte can come out on top if they limit mistakes and keep the game close.  “I think we can beat them and I know the team feels that they can beat them as well,” he said.

Michigan City also plays in the sectionals tonight at home against Valparaiso.  Ben said the Vikings (2-7) are better than what their record reflects but feels the Wolves (6-3) will advance.

“Michigan City is extremely fast and they have some good size up front.   When you combine those two things offensively and defensively, you get a good product,” he said.  The La Porte game will be broadcast live on 96.7 The Eagle beginning with the pregame show at 6:45 p.m.  Wins by La Porte and Michigan City would mean the two teams meeting again next week for the sectional championship.
