Hogs and all Hog Friends,
We invite you to come out to Kell High School and play some lax under the lights this Boxing Day, the 26th of December (a/k/a Tuesday).
7:30 PM | Stadium Field
Depending on numbers we may break down into squads of 7 or 8 and play a round robin battle to the death.
Donations of $5 welcome to help pay for the field.
Last chance to do Sports in 2017!
Hogs & Hog Friends-
With the frigid winter months of the South now upon us, we can look back on milestones of our fourth season:
Record: 14 - 5
++ 3 Local Games, 3 Tournaments, 2nd Atlanta Shootout for Soldiers ++
++ Runner Up 2x, Semi-Finalist ++
++ Home Field at Carlton J. Kell High School ++
++ 27 New Players ++
Next year will be another milestone - our 5th Anniversary. The Hogs will have even more extra swag in the new year as we look to play in 4 to 5 tournaments, join the Atlanta Lacrosse League this coming summer and host 6 months of pickup at our field.
Solid times on and off the field this year - best season yet. If you're interested in playing for East Cobb, look here.
We'll be back out there at Kell in February.

Wicked good time, huge performance out of the squad - in the 'Ship but came up short in OT. That OT was hard earned - we were down 6-2 and scored 4 unanswered goals, including a buzzer beater by Casey Minick at full time. Stout goaltending by Matt Sommerfeldt and clutch goals by Casey and Clark Akers kept us in it.
Here are some milestones:
1- First ever East Cobb shutout of a team (Dirty Myrtle) - 17 - 0
2- First ever 7 game tournament. 6:1
3- 62 gf vs 30 ga
4- At least 150 beers consumed at the Hog Manor
We were better than the team we lost to - just came up short. We also played 3! games on the day before the Ship - including one "by accident" vs. the Jacksonville Juice. That said, we brought 20 players to Myrtle and I'd say everyone had a damn good time. All pics are here.

Hogs & Hog Friends-
Next weekend is it for Fall Pickup at Kell - we want to go out with a strong showing - full 10 a side tilly time. Bring a friend. Donations welcome.
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, Saturday, 28 October
Carlton J. Kell High School, Track Field (see map below)
Look at these awesome pics - you too can play D vs Phil or an annoying attackman like Tyler.
Fall Pick-up at Kell is now in full swing. We had 28 players on the field yesterday, with two goalkeepers and a back-up Hector the Rejector just in case.
We're continuing these until October 28th -- and have one last free (but donations encouraged) pick-up this month on September 30th. Wives, girlfriends, kids all welcome - we had a handful of kids at the field (plenty of space) yesterday, some fiddle-stixx and goals and balls etc.
If you are able to make it out next weekend, please bring a gallon of water. There is no hose at the field.
As a reminder, next edition:

We've extended free Saturday pickup games through the end of September. Optional social festivities will follow at Taco Mac in Woodstock.

Friends,
East Cobb is starting up some Fall Scrimmages at Kell, starting this Saturday, and if you play lacrosse you are welcome to attend -- for FREE this weekend. We may even have a ref. These shenanigans will be immediately followed by cold beers and snacks off campus. There will be a cooler with ice for whoever chooses to bring their own (never a bad idea).
Ladies and kids are welcome to come hang. We're looking forward to meeting everyone Saturday.
After this weekend - if you'd like to continue getting a run in, we'd appreciate a $5.00 donation to help pay for the field. Well be running this through October 28th.
