Coach Talk

Black Hyenas
Hey Black Hyenas, the good news is that we took this matchup by 12 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through seven weeks was 194.71. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The Willowdale 46
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for The Willowdale 46 collectively recorded three catches on just four measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a couple of screen plays in Week 9!
