The Charleston County School District is gearing up for its 2026 Dave Spurlock Football Jamboree, a showcase that brings together ten high school programs for a night of gridiron action.
Event Overview
Scheduled for August 14 at North Charleston Regional Stadium, the event honors the late former CCSD Athletic Director Dave Spurlock, whose legacy continues to shape the district’s athletic landscape.
Five matchups are slated to begin at 6 p.m., each limited to 24 minutes of play with a running clock designed to keep the schedule tight.
Fans will be able to enter the gates starting at 5 p.m., with tickets priced at $10 per person; children five years old and younger will be admitted free of charge.
All proceeds from ticket sales are earmarked to benefit the ten schools that will compete, reinforcing the district’s commitment to supporting athletic programs across the board.
Gene Ross, the district’s Executive Director of Athletics, noted that CCSD IDs and South Carolina High School League athletic passes for the 2026‑2027 school year will be accepted at the gate, streamlining entry for season ticket holders.

Beyond the games, the event serves as a community gathering, drawing families, alumni and local supporters to celebrate high school football in the Charleston area.
