Get your tickets early for big game

Here’s an announcement from Constantine Schools athletic director Mike Messner regarding Friday’s Division 6 state championship game between Constantine and Ithaca.

The school district will get to keep 50 cents of every $10 ticket for the game purchased at the high school office. Messner said he hopes fans planning to attend the game buy their tickets ahead of time to help the school offset the expense of sending its team and band to Ford Field.

In addition, Messner said a 7 o’clock meeting tonight at the high school will provide an opportunity to sign up for a free spectator bus and buy game tickets. Tickets will also be available at the high school until 3 p.m. today and 7:30 a.m. to noon Wednesday.
