Coach Talk

BLACK HAMMER
Bravo on assembling a lineup that accounted for almost 148 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Mike Larkin's Team
Look, Mike Larkin's Team, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to magically appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, alright... maybe asking for an extra 23 points is a little excessive.
