UPDATE on 8/12/26 - The Dave Spurlock CCSD Football Jamboree, scheduled for Friday, Aug. 14, at North Charleston Regional Stadium, has been canceled because of forecast extreme heat.
Organizers said the decision was made with the safety and well-being of student-athletes, coaches, officials, staff and spectators in mind. Because of the forecast heat, the jamboree would not be able to begin until much later in the evening, requiring several participating teams to play late into the night.
“We know how much our school communities were looking forward to this year’s event,” said Gene Ross, Charleston County School District’s executive director of athletics. “However, the safety of our student-athletes and everyone attending this event must come first. While this is a tough decision, we believe canceling this year’s jamboree is the most responsible decision.”
Anyone who purchased tickets online through GoFan will receive a refund. No action is required from ticket holders at this time.
