Boxing Day good times at Kell
Great showing today at Kell.
East Cobb 14 - 4 Mad Weasels
Hogs played fast, non-sloppy lacrosse. Matt Sommerfeldt was solid between the pipes. It didn't rain.
Many thanks to the Mad Weasels, who we'll rematch in two weeks to help them prepare for some Florida tourney fun.

Hedgehogs vs. Mad Weasels on Boxing Day!
Sup folks-
Did you know that Hedgehog teeth can cut through concrete, and that Hedgehogs can also turn into hand grenades? Bet you didn't.
Your Hogs face off against the Mad Weasels this coming Boxing Day (December 26th for folks unaware of Canadian holidays...) at 1:00 PM at Ye Olde Carlton J. Kell High Skewwel. See map in this post.
Come on down to support us - hang out on our sideline - check out our 3rd uniform - it will be a good time. Hedgehog Social afterwards at Ralph's on Bells Ferry in Kennesaw.
Let's get it!
Devoured at least 50 concrete blocks earlier that day.
2016 East Cobb Costume Game
First time Hedgehog costume game at Carlton J. Kell High School under the lights. Great time despite the light numbers - most of us didn't realize how hot these things got when actually playing a game in them. Reptar might of had a heat stroke.
Solid work in between the pipes by Alex Crawford as a Crocodile. We also had...
Unicorn, a Bavarian, Colt 45 Bottle, a Pint, Batman, Sponge Bob, Average Joe's Player, a Canadian, two Reno 911 cops (our captains), Dockery with angel wings and Lentchner in our classy old club uniform.
Best costume goes to Jonathan Overman with the Unicorn.
Funniest costumes go to Isaiah Sims and David Pendas with the Reno 911 look - they didn't coordinate it and were "black cop and white cop" tonight.
Honorable mention: Crawford (Crocodile), Dillon Gross (Colt 45), Andrew Queen (Reptar).

Hedgehogs at Greenville Invitational: Return of 'The Natives'
East Cobb traveled to Greenville, SC this past weekend (August 27 & 28) to play in GLC's annual Invitational.
2-2 on the weekend.
All and all a good time - not the greatest result, but, we had a solid weekend, got some good PT in, never gave up and limited our injuries in our game vs. The Natives to a bruised jaw. We also added five new players to the squad, including Dillon "BJ" Thompson and Phil Floor on Defense, Dale Morley at Goalkeeper and Josh Dougherty and Austin Ambrose (aka 'Nubby') at Midfield.
Pool:
ECLC 13-2 The Natives
CLC 12-2 ECLC
ECLC 8-3 Slap Nut Mangos
Playoff:
Asheville LC 11-6 ECLC
Offensive MVP: Max Baker, Midfield
Max never ran out of energy and owned the midfield - ground ball machine.
Defensive MVP: Dillon Thompson, Close Defense
Biscuit Jr. a/k/a BJ was huge on D, dangled for days and was so positive he could probably withstand surgery without anesthesia.
We also played our last tournament for a good while with Joe Harmon - please wish him well as he begins his service in the U.S. Marine Corps and ships for Parris Island, SC in two weeks. We're proud of you, Joey!
Next tournament: Peach State Classic on Oct. 1st in Cobb County, GA

Hog Family and Friends-
East Cobb had a very successful tournament in Asheville - arguably our best performance ever - or since Myrtle Beach's Swamp Fox Shootout in 2014. The squad fought through setbacks and never gave up, fueled by a robust supply of McGriddles, Grand Slamwiches and PB&Js. And Faucette's new club theme song too.
4-1 on the weekend
W's vs. Asheville LC, Charleston Hurricanes, Augusta Beavers and Mean Machine
41 Goals For, 21 Goals Against
The Hogs were a Semi-Finalist, and came within a goal or two from being in the championship game. Just ran out of time against an Asheville squad refreshed with an absolute beast at Faceoff (college nickname: "Lou Ferrigno") and a stout defense.
Tournament MVP: Andrew Flood, Goalkeeper
Offensive MVP: Zack Swerdloff, Attack
Defensive MVP: Tanner Gard, Close Defense
Next tournament: Greenville - August 27 & 28
