Bishop England High School Athletics

Nowhere in the state can anyone boast the championship pedigree of the East Cooper community. Let the Carlisle Cup serve as an annual reminder. Bishop England and Wando have both been awarded the S.C. Athletic Administration Association Carlisle Cup for the 2016-17 school year. The Carlisle Cup, formerly known as the Directors Cup, is presented each summer to the most successful high school athletic departments in each of the state’s five classifications. Wando received the honor for the fourth consecutive time and fifth in the past six years. Bishop England has won every year since the award’s inception in 2003. Wando earned state championships in boys lacrosse, boys soccer and girls track and field during their first year competing in the newly minted Class AAAAA. The Warriors finished as state runner-up in girls lacrosse, boys cross country, girls soccer, volleyball, boys swimming and boys track and field. Bishop England collected nine state titles in its first year since moving into AAA. The smallest school in the classification won titles in girls basketball, girls and boys lacrosse, girls track and field, baseball, boys swimming, volleyball, girls tennis and girls golf in what was one of the most successful championship runs in state history. The Bishops also took second in girls swimming, boys cross country and boys golf. Academic Magnet placed second in the AA standings, 180 points behind St. Joseph’s who also won Class A last year. Magnet won state in both boys and girls soccer and girls swimming, while finishing second in boys cross country, boys swimming and girls tennis. Wando received Directors Cup distinction the previous three years in AAAA, while Bishop England won the past 13 years in AA. Hilton Head won AAAA this year, after winning the past six in AAA. Lewisville won Class A. Carlisle Cup winners are determined by a points system used to gauge each school's cumulative postseason success in 11 boys and 11 girls sports. Schools earn 100 points for each state championship, 80 for runner-up finish, 60 for a third or fourth-place finish, 40 for fifth to eighth, 20 for nine to 16th and 10 for 17-32nd.
