Charlie Cobb Classic | Feature on Mr. Cobb (hsc.edu, 2020)
Charlie Cobb '69 was a fiercely loyal, generous and kind man who loved his family, his friends and Hampden-Sydney College. He is deeply missed in so many ways, but rest assured that he is watching and enjoying (and coaching) every minute of every game from above. His legacy lives on thanks to Charlie's family and friends who continue to support the program that meant so much to him, with further thanks to the coaching staff that has organized the Charlie Cobb Classic for years to come. Unfortunately, Mr. Cobb passed away on August 15, 2022.
