Coach Talk

Beckley Bombers
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying CAPT. ED at the wide receiver position (24 points to 9.5).
CAPT. ED
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 12. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group tallied only 11 receptions.
