Coach Talk

MB Tide
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Case in point: we really took that to heart by doubling up C the Priest at running back this past week (1,420 points to 688).
C the Priest
Chin up, C the Priest! Trust me on this one (coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort in the fact that there's always that pro-bono Assistant Coaching job available at the local Pop Warner team down the road!
