Coach Talk

😘Kissing Cousins💋
Good work, 😘Kissing Cousins💋. Bravo on fielding a lineup that registered 129.46 points this past week.
Savage Mode
Take my word for it (as a coach who's practically never NOT been on the hot seat)... You can take comfort in the fact that there's always that gritty Assistant Coaching gig open at the local high school down the road! Keep pushing forward, Savage Mode!
