https://www.scsoccer.com/all-star-games/north-south-soccer-classicFounded in 1989, the North-South Soccer Classic has evolved into one of the premier prep sports events annually in the Palmetto State. The NSSC features 72 of the state's top boys and girls graduated seniors in an all-star contest. 2023 will mark the 34th year that the NSSC will be staged for the boys, while the girls will celebrate their 26th year of competition. The event was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19.
In the Boys series, the North leads all-time 17-13-13 and won last year's event, 4-1. For the Girls meetings, the series is tied at 10-10-5 and the North has captured the past two contests.
