Coach Talk

Kingslayer
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Polk High at the wide receiver position (66.1 points to 14.1).
Polk High
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 21 times in Week 8. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group tallied only 10 receptions.
