Coach Talk

Closet of Hope-fuls
You know Closet of Hope-fuls, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 105.72 points through Week 11, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 85.14 we needed to win this past week!
DeKaylin Zecharius
Listen, DeKaylin Zecharius, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to randomly appear out of thin air. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Okay, okay... perhaps asking for an extra 23 points is a bit overzealous.
