East Cobb kicks off season at Charlotte Play-Day

New opponents, friends, frenemies and all in between - greetings from the Charlotteyburg!

Your Hogs kicked off our 2019 Season by rolling up I-85 to the South’s most exciting city, Charlotte. Known for 24/7 excitement, the world’s best restaurants, a thriving Chinatown, America’s finest airport and the best whitewater rafting in the universe, the Queen City was the backdrop for our first games of the year that included referees (or so we thought).

We met up with the QC Misfits, a new club out of Charlotte, Jacksonville Juice from eastern NC, and the Columbia Natives.

The Hogs went 1-2 in play on the day - not the result we wanted - which was ended unfortunately by Bailey Hintze, a/k/a Sir Dirt, being knocked out in our last game by a coma slide. (Bailey is ok, his defender left with a flat nose, however…). Scary stuff regardless, and not how you want to see a teammate. The paramedics in Matthews, NC did a great job taking care of him!

We look forward to our rematches with these teams.

Sir Dirt with the great first responders of Matthews, NC and the squad!

Quality officiating means looking away.

…The Chaaaaaaaaaang.
