Coach Talk

north clarkston
Getting the win is most important, north clarkston, but we also know of one spot where we should improve as a team: our starting quarterback was clearly outclassed by the opposition. Carson Wentz went 33-of-50 for 325 yards and two touchdowns for O'Shaq Hennessy, and all Russell Wilson could produce was a 22-for-36 day for 245 passing yards and an ugly interception.
O'Shaq Hennessy
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 31 times in Week 14. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they recorded just 16 catches.
