Coach Talk

Knight Train
Assembling a lineup that won by more than 79 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Outsiderz, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards the KSFL XVIII league title.
Outsiderz
We just took it easy so our guys could dominate in Week 2, right? The six offensive skill starters (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) on Outsiderz collectively put up 385 yards and just three touchdowns in Week 1. Our opponent's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 755 yards and seven scores.
