2014 Nike Palmetto Cup @ Brookland-Cayce HS (Cayce, SC)

[Kevin Heise]

The 2014 Nike Palmetto Cup will be held April 14-17 (Monday-Thursday) in Cayce, South Carolina. The 16-team field annually features some of the top prep teams in the Palmetto State as well as regionally/nationally-ranked sides. We are aiming to include at least four out-of-state teams for the tournament. Over the past decade, we have had 30 teams participate from the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wyoming.

Each team will play three matches in group/pool play and a fourth match on Thursday for placement. Teams involved in the semifinals/finals will play a total of five matches (Semifinal Thursday morning and Final on Thursday evening). We use a three-man officiating system.
