Will's Weekend Forecast
Football 2011

   Will "Big Willie" McGonigle served in great fashion as the manager for Cardinal O'Hara's football team, and has also done some grade-school coaching. He's now at Delco Community and also contributes to multiple media outlets. O'Hara coach Danny Algeo was the first to say Will had a chance to be more famous than Hockey Puck ever thought of being. Many have since agreed (smile).
