These games are part of the NIKE Palmetto Cup at Saluda Shoals Park in Columbia, but you do not have to "play" in the tournament, simply fill a game spot (one of your 26 allowed). J.L. Mann and Hammond are helping us fill the void, but we still need some games on 4/12 & 4/13.

If you are interested, please contact me at kheise@grayca.com. Thank you.

Pendleton HS has withdrawn from the 2023 NIKE Palmetto Cup. If you are available to replace them for FREE (no entry fee) during the April 11-13 dates at the Saluda Shoals Soccer Complex in Columbia, please contact me ASAP at kheise@grayca.com. We can also offer the opportunity for a single game if that works better for you. We just need the slots filled.

4/12 (WED)
4:00 pm vs. Blythewood
