CONWAY, S.C. (WMBF/AP) â Itâs gameday on the Grand Strand!
Appalachian State and North Texas will face off Monday afternoon in the inaugural Myrtle Beach Bowl.
The matchup is the first NCAA-sanctioned bowl game in the state of South Carolina.
Officials shared their excitement over bringing the teams together despite the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
âWe hope the game will be something positive for our community,â Myrtle Beach Bowl executive director Rachel Quigley said.
Today the college football bowl season kicks off right here in Horry County with the inaugural Myrtle Beach Bowl.
The Appalachian State Mountaineers from the Sun Belt Conference will face the Mean Green of North Texas from Conference USA. Both teams accepted their bowl bids on Dec. 13. I am most excited for the game itself, obviously, said Rachel Quigley, executive director of the Myrtle Beach Bowl.Â
Quigley noted that this year has been challenging and has placed some unique roadblocks in the way. Nevertheless, the Myrtle Beach Bowl will kick off at 2:30 p.m. and so will the 2020-21 college bowl season.
When Reese Richardson went to a Coastal Carolina University cheerleading camp at age 5, she assumed that would be her final performance at Brooks Stadium.
âI never thought I would actually get to go out on the field again,â said Richardson, now 11, who returned to the teal team s turf Tuesday to sing the national anthem. The Conway girl won an ESPN contest to perform The Star-Spangled Banner before the inaugural Myrtle Beach Bowl. She was chosen from about 30 applicants. Â
âHer talent along with her strong Conway roots made it a no-brainer,â said Anthony Caroso with ESPN Events.
The Myrtle Beach Bowl will take place Dec. 21 with Appalachian State and North Texas battling at Brooks Stadium. The game will be shown on ESPN.
