Struggling B.C. Lions juggle lineup for battle with Ottawa Redblacks
VANCOUVER — The head coach of the B.C. Lions says he’s making tweaks to his lineup in a bid to turn the season around.
Wally Buono said Thursday that he’s trying to find the right ingredients “to build a winning combination” after his team went 3-6 in the first half of the year.
That means bringing in some fresh faces for Friday’s home game against the Ottawa Redblacks (6-4).
Travon Van will replace Chris Rainey as returner, while linebacker Micah Awe makes his season debut. Wide receiver Anthony Parker will also dress and be ready to sub in for Cory Watson at slotback.
