Coach Talk

KGG FB
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. With good production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We tripled Naperville Pineapple up at running back (24 points to 8). Chris Carson had 66 total yards and two TDs, while Saquon Barkley chipped in with 66 yards.
Naperville Pineapple
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Zane Gonzalez may have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
