Congratulations are in order to 2010-11 Milan Indian senior football player Zach Ollman (52), listed on the past season roster as 5'10" at 260#. Ollman has been notified that he has been selected to play in the Annual North-South All-Star Football game. Zach will compete as a defensive lineman on the South squad, when the games are held at North Central High School on July 15.
Ollman was a two-time All-MIFC player for the Indians. He was also named first team All-State by the IFCA and AP this past fall.
Indian Head Football Coach Ryan Langferman added, "Zach was a team captain and anchor of the offensive and defensive lines for the Indians this past season."
Zach Ollman represents the 10th tribesman to earn the designation as an Indiana All-Star.

Milan has also had the honor of sending two coaches to represent MHS in the all-star match ups over the years, coach Bob Brookbank in 1997 and current head coach Langferman in 2010.
Ollman is the fourth tribesman under coach Langferman's six year reign as the Milan Indian Head Football Coach to be named to the All-Star Team honor.
