Coach Talk

Wood #1
We wonder if the GM of Wood #1 was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 0.32 points, Matt Prater (3-for-4 on the day) decided that going 4-for-4 on field goals would've been just a bit too dull. Remember folks, every point matters!
yee's Team
Only one make on three field goal attempts? Seems like Zane Gonzalez might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this effort... especially each point being so critical to yee's Team in this narrow matchup.
