MOBA Proud Player Spotlight: Bryson Asher

The theme of hometown players continues as we put the spotlight onto midfielder Bryson Asher.

Bryson Asher, out of Senoia, Georgia, is a junior at Duke University, and attended East Coweta High School. Bryson played a key role on the Duke squad during his freshman season, but was plagued with injury as a sophomore. Asher used the 2016 PDL season as an opportunity to tune himself back up for the upcoming Duke season, and he did just that.

Bryson started seven games for MOBA, and appeared in ten, totaling 655 minutes, eighth most on the team. He used all 655 to his advantage. Asher tied with Jordan Day for most assists on the team with two, and led the team in shots with fifteen, proving that he was just as aggressive as he was talented. He proved his field-awareness throughout the season, and was always capable of making the right pass, leading to those two assists (both to Jarun against Tri-Cities in MOBA's first ever win) and to other unmarked key exchanges that led to goals or free kicks. He was an integral part of the offensive strategy for Coach Jordan Davis, and always gave a young energy to the team on the field. Coach Davis knew he could rely on Asher to give 110% every night, even when he wasn't starting, and that was seen when Asher was looked upon to come on early against the King's Warriors due to an injury.


Asher was not the only former East Coweta student on the Peachtree City MOBA roster this season. Along with goalkeeper Luke Oesterle, and defender Jairo Ruiz, the familiarity was present, and the team meshed well throughout the season, leading to some exciting games, including the Tri-Cities and Tormenta FC series.

Bryson Asher was one of the most versatile and active players on the squad this season, taking part in a variety of scoring plays, and was a rock on defense. He also demonstrated pride and belief in his team being able to win, and that is all an organization needs in a player. Peachtree City and Senoia alike send their gratitude to Bryson, and will welcome him back with open arms should he decide to spend another summer as a member of the Peachtree City MOBA organization.

MOBA Soccer Academy Becoming a Hub of PTC Sports

Image
In January 2015, it was announced that the German company MOBA Mobile Automation AG would be meeting with Peachtree City to discuss plans to build a new 50,000 square foot office building and soccer complex on Highway 74. A strange combination of projects, several months later, the project was approved, and construction began almost immediately. In a mere few months, it became arguably one of the best decisions the board has ever made. Fast forward to December 2016, the new MOBA Soccer Academy is nearing completion, and already the effect it was intended to have on Peachtree City sports is being felt. When the idea was proposed, Mr. Volker Harms said he hoped to provide Peachtree City and the surrounding area with an opportunity to unite out on the pitch, and that is just what happened. The facilities aren't even complete, but the fields are, and that's all we need. They may be soccer fields, but that doesn't mean only soccer has to be played on them. Elite Lacro

2016 MOBA Proud MOTY Award

Image
PDL Playoffs kicked off today, thus marking the transition between regular and post season. Now that MOBA's 2016 season is complete, it is finally safe to begin handing out recognition and awards for excellence in the sport, and there is no better prize than receiving the title of 2016 Man of the Year (the association football equivalent of MVP). The sport of football is based around two principles: Pride and Teamwork. However, teamwork does not mean that nobody deserves recognition for outstanding play. A team may work well together and share the ball, but there is always at least one player that truly stands out. And that player, more often than not, receives the Man of the Year award. And so, upon the conclusion of the 2016 Peachtree City MOBA season, the one-man panel here at MOBA Proud would like to recognize a player that met all the standards a MOTY should meet: Salomon Lorenzano. Lorenzano, a native of Peachtree City, started all 14 games for MOBA this year, accrui

Match Preview: MOBA-Brilla Battle in Peachtree City

Image
Peachtree City need to keep winning. It is as simple as that. If MOBA can keep getting three points every time out for the rest of the season, they will be sitting on twenty-seven points, which could see them into the playoffs. That task, however, will meet its first real test on Thursday, when Peachtree City welcome a red-hot Mississippi Brilla FC side into the suburbs. With back-to-back matches against the last place team in the division last week, Peachtree City were not able to capitalize completely on the opportunity they had before them, but they did get some important results nonetheless. After conceding a goal to Memphis that nullified John Cozine opener, MOBA came right back and grabbed another late in the first half, this time from Morgan Hackworth, and the Yellow and Black were able to hold on for the 2-1 win. Two days later, the sides met again, and after a scoreless first half, Dean Foster and Peyton McKnatt traded second half goals as the two teams split the points
