Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas

The  Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas announced today that Mid-South Sports Network, a sports broadcasting and production company based in Fayetteville, NC, has been chosen as the radio broadcast group for the 81st Annual Shrine Bowl to be played December 

16, 2017 in Spartanburg, SC.  The game will be played at Gibbs Stadium on the campus of Wofford College.

The Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas was first played on December 4, 1937 in Charlotte, N.C., making it the oldest high school football all-star game in the nation.  The annual game featuring many of the top high school players from North and South Carolina is played to benefit the Greenville (South Carolina) Unit Shriners Hospital for Children © and the 21 other Shriners Hospitals for Children © across the nation.

“It is an honor to have been selected by the Shrine Bowl Committee, and to be a part of this All Star spectacular.  It is nice to be recognized and rewarded for something we love to do – broadcast high school football”, said Charles Koonce, President of Mid-South Sports.  “But it is even more humbling to know that we are a part of long-standing program that has seen literally thousands of the best high school athletes in North and South Carolina, and has raised millions of dollars for Shriners Hospitals.”
