Checking In With UVa Commit Jack McDonald

Boston College High (Boston, MA) has had its 2012 season affected largely by injuries. In one game, the Eagles played without 10 projected preseason starters. University of Virginia-bound senior offensive lineman Jack McDonald is happy to report that his team is finally healthy and ready to make a push for the postseason.

“Pretty much all of our starters are back,” said McDonald, a team captain. “Last week’s game was the first since the preseason where we had our whole team out there. I think we’ll be a different team now. We’ll get a full week of practice together this week, and we’ll get to show what we’re capable of doing.”

BC High is 3-5 with two regular season games remaining.

“We have to win the next two games definitely, and then we’ll have to wait to see how the points shake out to see if we made the playoffs,” McDonald said. “We just have to make sure we win. We just have to stay upbeat and keep playing like we have a chance.”
