The seventh annual Clash of the Carolinas, sponsored by South Carolina United FC, will be held Saturday, July 6 at Daniel Island�s Blackbaud Stadium, home of the Charleston Battery professional soccer team. Kickoff is 1 p.m. for the girls� game and 3 p.m., for the boys match. Tickets are $10.
The all-star match is hosted by the High School Soccer Coaches Associations of North Carolina and South Carolina, respectively, and the official equipment supplier is NIKE through Lloyd�s Soccer of Mount Pleasant and Greer.
The �Clash� is the only interstate all-star soccer contest of its kind in the nation and features the top graduated prep soccer players from North Carolina and South Carolina. In the girls� series, the Tar Heels own a 5-1 advantage and captured a 2-1 victory in 2012. In the boys� series, North Carolina holds a 2-1-3 lead and blanked the Sandlappers 1-0 last summer.
For the first time ever the Clash will feature a live video streaming broadcast via Tourbeau Sports Group of Charleston. This company has already partnered with prep soccer this season as it aired the NIKE Palmetto Cup hosted by Brookland-Cayce High School in April and last month produced the North-South Soccer Classic at Blackbaud Stadium. DVDs will also be available from TSG after the event.
