Team Manitoba preview: We like the underdog role


The best pre-university football tournament in Canada, the Football Canada Cup, begins July 11th in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Manitoba is traditionally one of the best prepared teams in the tourney and this year will be no exception. Coach Cullen and his staff had over 300 young men to choose from during the tryout process. Manitoba needs big tournaments from DL Evan Gill and QBs Viera and Deezar. They open the tournament versus Saskatchewan.
