High School Soccer Media -
The 2008 North-South Soccer Classic, sponsored by Columbia United FC and hosted by the South Carolina High School Soccer Coaches Association, was held Saturday, June 14 at USC Upstate in Spartanburg.
The girls match wound up 1-1 in a series that the North leads 6-5-1. Lexington's Allie Johns, the North's goal scorer, was tabbed as Most Valuable Player for that squad, while Wando's Olivia Urig, who controlled the midfield for the South squad, was named MVP for her team.
In the boys match, the North continued its dominance in the series with a 3-1 victory. That victory pushed the North's lead to 13-5-2 in the 20th anniversary of this event for Palmetto State prep soccer. Fort Mill's Eric Fielden, who scored the match-winning goal, and Chris Dixon (Myrtle Beach) of the South squad, who motored all over the midfield this afternoon, were selected as the MVPs.
Thanks to STANNO for supplying the uniforms, USC Upstate for its outstanding generosity and assistance for hosting the Classic, and to Columbia United FC for their financial support that recognizes more than 70 of South Carolina's top senior soccer players and eight coaches annually!
