With no Shrine Bowl in SC this year, the North-South game rosters are loaded
Rosters for this year’s Touchstone Energy Bowl were released Monday with many of the state’s top prospects picked.
This year’s game — also known as the North-South game — is scheduled for Dec. 11 at Myrtle Beach High’s Doug Shaw Stadium. The game was not held last year because of COVID-19 but is on track to be played this season.
An inaugural junior showcase will be the day before, also at Doug Shaw Stadium.
Players selected for Touchstone Energy Bowl also can be picked for the Shrine Bowl, which was canceled for the second straight year because of COVID-19 concerns.
The Shrine Bowl plans to ceremoniously pick rosters for the game. The normal Shrine Bowl selection criteria will still be followed, such as only two players per school can be picked and every region in the state must be represented.
“It will probably knock some people out that would be selected, but the staff of the Touchstone Energy Bowl’s charge is to get this right and pick the 88 best players in the state of South Carolina,” Westside coach and Touchstone Energy Director Scott Earley said. “The cream of the crop will be in Myrtle Beach on Dec. 11.”
