Michael ‘Dunga’ McDonald

Michael ‘Dunga’ McDonald is a natural born winner, a streak that followed him thru’ high school and college. He helped Jamaica College (JC) to the Colts title in 1979, a year after enrollment and was a fixture on the Manning Cup roster for three seasons, 1982-84.

JC lost the Manning Cup final in ’84, however ‘Dunga’ McDonald’s outstanding season earned him a spot on the All-City Schoolboy selection and a spot on the National Juvenile team as well. At the club level, he suited up for Jones Town in the ‘minors’ and Real Mona in the major league.

On scholarship at Wright State University (WSU), USA, ‘Mighty Mike’ was the anchor on a team that for three seasons, 1985-88, posted the best record in the conference. His rewards – All Mideast First Team selection, team MVP in 1987 and a listing on the WSU Walk of Fame.

The missing accolade for him and this JC unit, the Jamaica Alumni Football Tournament (JAFT) trophy. Will this be the year?
