Coach Talk

Layne Ducks
Assembling a lineup that posted over 114 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should tip our cap to the GM of Diddy, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards the Hiawatha League of Champions title.
Diddy
Listen, I've been in this business long enough to realize that every once in a while, seven extra points can just instantly appear out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried. Keep your chin up, Diddy!
