Coach Talk

Rabid Otters
Mission accomplished, Rabid Otters. Deploying a lineup that registered nearly 112 points this past week... we'll take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Wizards, and continue pushing forward to the KSFL XVII league championship.
Wizards
Keep your head up, Wizards! Look, I've been at it long enough to know that occasionally four extra points can just magically appear out of thin air... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you gave it your best shot.
