The 2023 Dave Spurlock Charleston County School District (CCSD) Football Jamboree is set for Friday, August 11th, 2023, starting at 6 pm at the District 4 Regional Stadium in North Charleston. This will be the second year of the season-opening exhibition event, and the first one named after the late Dave Spurlock, a longtime coach in the Lowcountry and CCSD's former athletic director.
As was the case in 2022, 11 high schools from the district and one local private school will play in the Dave Spurlock CCSD Football Jamboree.
The matchups are as follows (start times following the first contest are approximate, and the home team is listed second):
- 6:00 pm: Military Magnet Eagles vs. Bishop England Battling Bishops*
- 6:25 pm: Burke Bulldogs vs Military Magnet Eagles*
- 6:50 pm: Bishop England Battling Bishops vs. Burke Bulldogs*
- 7:15 pm: Wando Warriors vs. Baptist Hill Bobcats
- 7:50 pm: James Island Trojans vs. West Ashley Wildcats
- 8:25 pm: Lucy Beckham Bengals vs. St. John's Islanders
- 8:50 pm: Academic Magnet Raptors vs. North Charleston Cougars
*indicates 10-minute contests; the final four match-ups will be 20 minutes
Last year's event was played at Robert E. Hayes Field at the District 2 Regional Stadium; the district's goal is to rotate between the two stadiums every year.
Each exhibition contest will last 20 minutes (running clock). The game clock will stop when a team scores, for a change of possession, and significant injuries.
Gates will open for fans starting at 4:30 pm, and the district's clear bag policy will be enforced.
