In their first three games, that has been the one and only time another team has scored against Thunderbirds, team offensive coordinator Joe MacLeod noted.

鈥淲e鈥檝e never allowed a point since,鈥 MacLeod observed.

Not later on Sept. 24 against Ballenas, when the Thunderbirds won 26-0, and not on Friday, Oct. 8 , their first home game at McLeod stadium in 91原创, when they downed Argyle Secondary 42-0.

91原创 was leading 7-0 by the half, and went on to pile up the points before an appreciative home crowd.

鈥淭he community that we have in 91原创 is extremely supportive of football,鈥 MacLeod remarked.

MacLeod said after being forced to sit out the 2019 season due to the pandemic, players were exhilarated to finally be playing at home.

MacLeod credits head coach Mark Wyse with forging a defence that has yet to give up a single point, keeping the team in the game even when the Thunderbirds offence is slow to get in gear.

鈥淗e鈥檚 doing a tremendous job,鈥 MacLeod enthused.

He gave credit to linemen Many Fotioux, Navjot Poomni and Nick Reimer for their drive.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a certain amount of shock and awe that they bring,鈥 MacLeod commented.

鈥淭hey wear the others down.鈥
