Fantasy Draft Recap

weezel32

I know, no one cares about my fantasy league. Still, here it is. I had pick seven, Kiss My Asomughas. Waddup Nnamdi! At almost no point in this draft was I taking the top guy on my board, even in the first couple of rounds. When I took David Johnson, I had Davante Adams at the top. When I took Kerryon Johnson, I had Mike Evans at the top. But, I liked those 3rd/4th round receivers much more than the running back, so I went old-school RB/RB early. Plus, when I suck, you can call my team baby powder, because … Continue reading Fantasy Draft Recap

weezel32

Chet Snyder’s Fairfield Lady Mules are coming off a historic 31-9 season that included a school record for wins, and their first trip to the volleyball Super Sectional a year ago. They also won the Benton Invitational for the first time ever. They lost six girls from that squad, but returned a solid nucleolus that had expectations still high.

Mules’ Defense Puts BDC On Notice With Shutout Of Devils In Week One

weezel32

In a rematch of a week nine clash last year to decide the conference championship, the Fairfield Mules opened up the season this year with a defensive display of power Friday night at the Train Yard, shutting out the Sesser-Valier-Waltonville Red Devils, 28-0. The defense held Sesser to four total first downs, and just 85 yards of offense. That included an 0-for-12 showing in the passing game, as the Mules harassed senior Devil quarterback Peyton Bates early and often and kept the league’s top receiver last year, Tanner Eubanks, in check. “I am proud of our defense. Week one, with … Continue reading Mules’ Defense Puts BDC On Notice With Shutout Of Devils In Week One

weezel32

by Weez Football Fridays in Fairfield have been fun for the Mules in recent years, having won three straight conference championships and riding a 20-game regular-season winning streak.

Entering his 19th year (101-75) as head coach of the Mules, Justin Townsend sounds like a coach who anticipates that success carrying over again this year. This … Continue reading Townsend’s Mules Have Eyes On Multiple Prizes After 10-1 Season
