Coach Talk

Throwball Champ
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Throwball Champ. Our QB was thoroughly overmatched by the opposition. Matt Ryan went 22-of-36 for 231 yards and two touchdowns for Ridgemont Wolves, and all Cam Newton could manage through the air was 131 passing yards and an ugly interception. Let's work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Ridgemont Wolves
Hey, our crew was just resting up for Week 16, right? The five starting offensive skill players (two RBs, one WR, two TEs) on Ridgemont Wolves combined to record 267 yards and just one touchdown this past week. Our opponent's skill players showed us how it's supposed to be done by logging 511 yards and five scores.
