Coach Talk

Mile High Modernas
Nice job assembling a starting crew that earned nearly 186 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our Week 15 matchup.
A Taste of the Herb
Trust me on this one (as a coach who's practically never NOT been on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that gritty Assistant Coaching job available at the nearby Pop Warner team down the road! Keep pushing forward, A Taste of the Herb!
