Coach Talk

Russell Sprouts🌱🥬✨
You know what, Russell Sprouts🌱🥬✨, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Delanie Walker), while still getting a win. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Mrs. Cook
Welp, usually 120 points isn't too ghoulish of a showing, Mrs. Cook. The scariest issue this past week is that you had to face Russell Sprouts🌱🥬✨ and their spooky score of 120.08.
