Coach Talk

Naperville Methlab
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and thoroughly outscored Six Mile Jets at the quarterback position (31 points to 6).
Six Mile Jets
Hey, Six Mile Jets, what did your receivers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only six total targets in Week 15, our three wide receivers obviously got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
