Road to the SC High School League football state championships will have a familiar and different location this year.

Commissioner Jerome Singleton announced the 5 title games will take place Dec. 4-5. Charlie W. Johnson Stadium at Benedict College, which has held the Class A title games the past few years, will be the site of 3 games at 7:30 pm on Dec. 4 and 11:30 am and 7:30 pm on Dec. 5.

Harry Parone Stadium at Spring Valley High School will be the site of 2 games at 5 pm on Dec. 4 and 3:30 pm on Dec. 5. It replaces Williams-Brice Stadium as the University of South Carolina which was unavailable due to cost. 

The league will announce at a later date where each classification will play its state finals. 

All covid-19 safety and sanitation procedures in relation to fan attendance will be followed, Singleton said in the memo.
