Coach Talk

Thunderstorm
Good job assembling a starting crew that registered 150 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Sledgehammers, take this win in stride, and continue the march towards the Super Stars league championship.
Sledgehammers
Keep your head up, Sledgehammers! Trust me on this one (coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that gritty Assistant Coaching gig available at the nearby high school down the road!
