GRR: Charlotte Tigers
Six teams in the Mid-South Independent Rugby League (MSIRL) are in action this weekend as the new cross-border competition heats up.
The Charlotte Tigers enjoyed a nice start in the new MSIRL as they shut out the defending Georgia state champions Saturday.
The Tigers defeated the East Cobb Trojans 48-0, led by a player-of-the game performance from captain and No. 8 Jonathan Rubin.
The second game of the new MSIRL season will kick off Saturday afternoon as the Charlotte Tigers take on the East Cobb Trojans.
Formerly the Lassiter Trojans, East Cobb changed its name this season after winning the Georgia state title as Lassiter last season.
A new Boys HS league is being set up in the Southeast, with nine teams from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia committing to play in the new competition.
