The Friday night banquet held at the Holiday Inn-Mount Pleasant was very well attended as Dr. Tom Reilly, formerly of Wando HS, received the Dick Walsh Award, the S.C. High School Soccer Coaches Association's highest honor for service to prep soccer, and Coach Scott Ruggles of Stratford HS became the 12th member inducted into the SCHSSCA Hall of Fame. In addition all North-South Soccer Classic players and coaches were recognized during the ceremony.
Saturday morning featured the 12th Annual Fellowship of Christian Athletes North-South Soccer Classic Breakfast at the Holiday Inn-Mount Pleasant. Sponsored by J.R. Murphy, a Columbia-based attorney and long time friend of high school soccer who was the second person to receive the Dick Walsh Award in 2000, the FCA Breakfast featured guest speakers, Emmett Morgan (Lowcountry FCA Area Director), Hannah Gmereck (Wren HS / College of Charleston) and Ernest Smith (Seacoast Church).
Next, it's onto Patriots Point for the 12 noon kickoff of the girls match - see you there!
