Coach Talk

Valley Vikings
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three starting backs recorded 214 more total yards than the RBs of Damage Control (328 yards from scrimmage to 114), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 69.15 points to 33.3.
Damage Control
Hey, we were just resting up for Week 13, right? The eight starting offensive skill players on Damage Control (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) combined to record 385 yards and just two touchdowns this past week. Our opposition's skill players made it tough on us by logging 693 yards and five scores.
