We have so many talented players this year that depending on how they play will really effect how our season goes. We have an agile offensive line and many offensive weapons.ā
āWe want to go out and show the league what we can doā, says McDonald. āWe plan to stay prepared and not let teams sneak up on usā.
The 2013 JV Jr. Argo season will start this Sunday at 5:00PM at St. Michaelās College Field. They will be playing a new team in the OFC, the Vaughn Rebels.
