Owen O’Neal Football
The Mount Allison Mounties are pleased to announce that the Joey’s Male Athlete of the Week for the week of September 20th-26th is Owen O’Neal from our football program.
O’Neal is second year defensive back from Sackville but he was playing in only his second AUS game as a result of last year’s cancelled season. O’Neal had two interceptions in Mount Allison’s dramatic come from behind win at Bishop’s on Saturday. The Mounties trailed for most of the game but put together a late drive including a successful two point convert to take a 10-7 lead. This is where O’Neal took over as he intercepted the Bishop’s quarterback not once, but twice in the final 2 minutes of the game to seal the win for the Mounties. The Mounties are 2-0 to start the season and sit alone in first place in the AUS standing.
