Coach Talk

Ridgemont Wolves
Good work assembling a starting crew that produced more than 171 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. We should keep this momentum as we head into our Week 5 matchup.
NMSaints
Talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for NMSaints collectively recorded one reception on only two measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up a screen play or two in Week 5!
