Coach Talk

Darren's Team
Putting together a lineup that tallied more than 146 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Mason's Team
Just one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Michael Badgley might have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of effort.
