Two Wins For a State Title

This has really only been true one other time in the history of LaPorte Slicer Football. In 2006 the Slicers were coming off a record setting offensive season. The only problem with that was that a lot of the reasons for the record setting performance had graduated. It seemed as if 2005 would have been the year for the team. 2006 though just had a feel to it the entire season. It seemed as if the entire postseason had a feel of redemption to it. Losses to powers Mishawaka, Penn, and finally Crown Point were avenged as the Slicers moved on. The story ended in Carmel though as the team had just run out of gas. This season has the same feel to it. This Slicer team has no quit in it. After a couple of tough seasons filled with tragedy this team has made history. The team is playing for Jake West, and they will not go down without a fight. I will be waiting for updates all night as the team plays Fort Wayne Snider in Fort Wayne.

One Last Chance to Photograph This Team

This past summer before school even started I was at Kwanis Field to photograph the new turf. I was planning on attending the season opening game which would dedicate the field. Of course I was booked by two teams that night to photograph volleyball here in West Lafayette so I could not attend. The same thing kept happening as the season moved on. I have been booked every time that the Slicers were at home. In fact even on away games that I would attend I would get booked as happened last Friday. In fact I only made it to one high school game this season, and that was a scrimmage. I love high school football so that is a shame. Once again this weekend I will be at Notre Dame on a job while the Slicers are playing. I have however made sure that I have nothing going on the following Saturday just in case the Slicers make it to the finals. I will be there with my camera to document the day.
