Goose Creek officially out of football playoffs; Bluffton will host Conway on Friday
The State

Interesting point:

The meeting was open to the public, but Goose Creek requested a closed session and reporters were forced to leave the room.

Jay Bender, an attorney for the S.C. Press Association, said the closed session violated the Freedom of Information Act.

"There was a lawsuit a number of years ago that determined the High School League was a public body," he said. "The closed hearing is in violation of the law. I don't understand it. It's a body that takes public money and holds private meetings. If they want to operate like that, they should become a private club."
