At the 86th annual Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas, the Upstate was well represented with top senior high school football prospects heavily contributing to South Carolina's 17-13 win over North Carolina on Saturday.
Three of the game's four TDs came in the second half at Spartanburg High School.
Both teams traded the lead throughout the game. After North Carolina took a 13-10 lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter, South Carolina responded by going on a 12-play, 78-yard touchdown drive that took 6:48 off the clock and proved to be the game-winner.
Here are the Upstate stars who fared the best in the state's top football all-star game.
