Spring Break to feature baseball, soccer tournaments

Spring Break is far from a respite for Midlands high school sports teams.

Both baseball and soccer will hold special tournaments during the week featuring some of the Palmetto State’s top teams.

Kicking things off Monday are the Forest Acres Classic at AC Flora High School and the Airport Invitational at Airport High School.

The following day, the Nike Palmetto Cup soccer tournament makes its return following a one-year hiatus at Saluda Shoals Park in Irmo.

Eight boys and four girls teams will participate in the three-day tournament with the champions determined based on a points system.

The four-day SC Diamond Invitational will start at both Lexington and Brookland-Cayce high schools Wednesday. Tickets are $8 (cash only), masks are mandatory at both sites and concessions will be open.
