Hello to all of the City football fans!!! Michigan City Wolves kick off their season this Friday night at Ames field with a scrimmage against New Prairie High School at 7:00 pm. Please come out and support your home team and get a preview of how the team looks. We are excited about this upcoming season and want you to be too. We have 26 Seniors returning this year which are all very experienced. This will be Coach Mike Karpinski's third season with the Wolves and the old wives tale states that "third times a charm." May this season be the Wolves lucky charm and be their best season ever!!! Go Wolves!!!

I agree Southsider but what is done is done now. I would be curious if the newspaper asked the coach who made that call to throw in the first place. Does Coach Karp make that call or the O-Coordinator? The defense had only given up 14 points up until that time(one on a short field) and had a couple of turnovers and the d-line had been getting pressure on the QB. I agree there is a time to be high risk and a time to kill the clock and get out with a W. No real good reason to push the issue and win by 24. If I remember right Coach Synder called off the dogs a few years ago in a sectional game so there cannot be any built up animosity towards our neighbors to the west for having run up the score in the past. My take on reading the N-D and the Times is no one thought it was possible for the Trojans to come back down 17 with less than a quarter to go and the Wolves deep in Chesterton territory but the impossible did happen. MC will do better next week when the big playmaker WR gets back from injury.

Donnie Wilson played this week on every offensive play. He was thrown the ball on multiple occasions including the slant that hit him in the hands and bounced into trojans DBs hand. He will have a explosive game when he gets back to game speed. As far as who called that play it is on the OC. My biased opinion is that the game was called well on both sides of the ball. Coach Karp can overrule any call I am sure, but It looks like they work together pretty well. Everyone will learn from this game. TRUST ME in saying that this team is even more determined now. These kids believe in what they are doing this year and are on a mission. This will be a interesting week on the road in Valpo.
