Coach Talk

Molly Hatchet
I just cannot overemphasize how critical tight victories like this are for team chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... expect the Molly Hatchet locker room to really gel riding into Week 4.
The Bobby Chucks
There's still a boatload of time left to turn this season around, The Bobby Chucks! The next few opponents might look at your record and foolishly think they have an easy matchup. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with your strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming!
