Myrtle Beach, SC – After parting ways with SSA the advisory board for Myrtle Beach Prep went back to the drawing board to create their own brand identity. This process was started to allow the organization to re-branding with new colors, logo, and mascot going forward into their second season. During this process the organization went through a variety of colors schemes, mascot names, and logos. The variety has been carefully narrowed over the last few weeks until the board finally has made their selections for the team going forward.

The team will be referred with as the Myrtle Beach Prep Marauders. Their primary team colors will be “Beach Blue”, Navy, Yellow, and Grey. As for the new primary logo it will take the place of the logo which has been used over the past few weeks. Myrtle Beach Prep will, however, retain their other logos as a secondary and alternate logo. The secondary logo, which has been used most recently, consist of the State of South Carolina and the palmetto tree with script “The Beach” logo through it, and as for the alternate logo they will continue to use the script “The Beach” logo which has been used since their inception.

Myrtle Beach, SC – There has been a change in direction for the Myrtle Beach Prep program. After a mutual agreement back in April to bring Southern Sports Academy in as a partner organization to their program their plans have changed. When bringing SSA aboard the main goals were for SSA to assist the process of building a multiple sports to the program.

In this mutual agreement Myrtle Beach Prep would be responsible for working to grow and maintain their new football program, whereas SSA would concentrate on the addition of basketball, both for men and women, as well as track and field. The plans were set in motion to work for completion of this process during the 2019-2020 season. After in depth examination of the true vision of the program Myrtle Beach Prep found it as a non-necessity for the addition of multiple sports to the program.

After the organization made this decision they had representation inform the founder of SSA. The two program did come to an agree to have a working relationship with regards to the future of each program. Myrtle Beach Prep will be responsible for continuing their athletic program as the only Post-Graduate Prep football program in Myrtle Beach and will continue to represent Horry County in a positive manner. Even though SSA and Myrtle Beach Prep are no longer working together MB Prep wishes nothing but the best for SSA in their future endeavors. Myrtle Beach Prep will be changing their logo and colors as a sign of respect and a clear distinction between themselves and Southern Sports Academy. SSA will continue to use their old color scheme of purple and black, as well as, retain the mascot and logo the Panther. The color scheme, jersey design, and much more will be relieved over the next few week for the Myrtle Beach Prep program as they look forward to the 2020 season, and as they continue to use their platform to assist young men in striving for their goals.
