The state’s top high school football players will face off one last time this season in the 2019 Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 14. The annual north-south game, organized by the S.C. Athletic Coaches Association, takes place at Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium in Myrtle Beach with a noon kickoff. The match-up, now in its 72nd year, is the oldest continuous all-star football game in the South.
This marks the seventh year South Carolina’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives have sponsored the bowl game, which recognizes 88 students from across the state, not just for their athletic ability, but for their character on and off the field. These young men develop a true spirit of camaraderie throughout the week leading up to the big game—honing their skills and developing friendships that last a lifetime. Touchstone Energy is an alliance of local, independent, member-owned electric co-ops that work together to deliver energy solutions and support for their communities.
Advance-purchase tickets are now available online at TouchstoneEnergyBowl.com for $20. After Nov. 29 and at the stadium, tickets will cost $25 each.
Fans in attendance at the game will also see the halftime presentation of the 2019 Mr. Football award. Seven players are in contention for the prestigious honor recognizing the state’s top athlete of the year.
