One More Rumour - McAllister to Suit Up For Thunderbirds This Year?

I'd say this is more than just rumour - Pierce was at Clarke Park last month, lining up as a tailback with the Ross Shepherd Thunderbirds at the High School Football Tournament! It will be kind of strange playing against Pierce next year - he had a huge part in the Jr. Predators 2006 league championship team. (I'm like you Scotty - never get tired of sayin' that! League Champion Junior Predators! )

Anyone who saw the 2006 semi-final game against Jasper Place will remember - two awesome punts in the last two minutes of the game, kicking the CRAP out of a frozen football. First kick tied the game. Second kick - last play of the game - won it. Pierce also had a great year at tailback - breaking some huge gains with his running speed and catching passes out of the backfield. Apparently he also has a talent for inspiring his team mates with motivational pre-game messages. Would we have won the final without "I Am Cow..." ?

All the best Pierce! Thanks for the memories. Hope you enjoy your grade 12 year at Shep.

Under 17 Tournament - Rumour Mill!

Game scores would indicate that Team Alberta North may have had a tough week in Quebec on the football field. Maybe they'll be able to turn it around in the playoff game today, against Western Ontario.

The Old Blogger heard a rumour though, that Kris Godreau was selected "Defensive Player of the Game" in Team Alberta North's loss to Team Alberta South. Don't know for sure if that's true. Anybody have more information? It would be great to hear about it if if you do - post a comment here in the blog.

It would also be nice if anyone has more information - any web sites that have coverage of the Tournaments? Maybe somebody that has travelled to Quebec and watched the games? Any good threads on the "All Canada Gridiron" forums? Post a comment (Please include URL's if you know of any interesting web coverage.) The Old Blogger is getting tired of doing all the yakkin' here!
