Pauline Johnson Collegiate football coach John Macdonald knew this season wasn’t going to be like last year’s, at least to start.
“I knew that this year would be somewhat of a rebuilding year for us because we lost about 12 fifth-year guys from last year,” said Macdonald, whose Thunderbirds dropped to 0-2 in Athletic Association of Brant, Haldimand and Norfolk non-CWOSSA varsity football action following a 14-0 loss at home on Friday to McKinnon Park Secondary School (2-0).
