USL League One announces the League One Team of the Week for the 2nd week of play. The Chattanooga Red Wolves lock down two spots on the starting eleven with Ami Pineda in the mid-field, and Greg Hurst as a forward. Both of them had an outstanding showing during the season opener at Tormenta FC, and with Hurst collecting two goals and Ami contributing an assist to one of them.
Greg is an emerging player that proved himself shortly after acquiring him in August of 2019. Hurst has had a break out of an opener, but there will be more to come. Ami Pineda will continue to control the offense as it passes through the midfield, and will be a force to be reckoned with as the team prepares for its inaugural home opener in CHI Memorial Stadium.
