Coach Talk

RidgeRunners
Listen, RidgeRunners, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Rolling out a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the win... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Mean Machine
Chin up, Mean Machine! There are plenty of lessons we can glean from this season and apply to next year... it's never too early to begin doing your homework and thinking about how to improve!
