Greenville just landed another sporting event: the 2027 Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad is coming to Bon Secours Wellness Arena Jan. 9-10, 2027. The two-day gymnastics invitational will feature eight top-25 teams, including Clemson, and tickets go on sale this fall.
Sports
Speaking of Clemson gymnastics, the Tigers just won their first-ever ACC Championship, upsetting Stanford by a margin of 0.025. Fun fact: Gymnastics became the fastest in school history to record a conference championship, doing it in just three seasons.
Number
1. That’s how many SC teams remain in the NCAA Tournament. Only the Gamecock women advanced from the First Round, with Clemson men and women, Furman men, and College of Charleston women all losing. The Gamecocks face the other USC tonight at 8 p.m. in Columbia, airing on ESPN.
Plan Ahead
No. 1 Duke and No. 3 Illinois were the two teams to advance to the Sweet 16 from Greenville after the First and Second Rounds. The Fighting Illini face No. 2 Houston on Thursday, and the Blue Devils face No. 5 St. John’s on Friday.
Closed
Sofrito Restaurant closed its doors after service yesterday. Owners Hector and Ana thanked guests for their support of the Woodruff Road eatery and reminded fans that you can still dine at Sofrito Latin Kitchen in Taylors and at Latin Quarter in Simpsonville.
Mansion Monday
Storybook charm meets modern living in Alta Vista. This 1930s Tudor on Cleveland Street by famed architect Willie Ward blends original character with thoughtful updates, such as arched brickwork and custom cabinetry, into a dreamy primary suite retreat. Bonus: Enjoy the shaded porch and terrace views.

At Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery, Emily’s Pantry, and Tropical Grille locations across Greenville, you’ll find a new soda in the cooler. What you may not know is the new drink was created right here in Greenville.
Meet ProSo, a start-up venture from a local team (including one of my 6AM City colleagues, Dalton). According to the team behind the soda, it’s the world’s first dietitian-formulated protein soda featuring 10g of clean whey protein isolate, natural ingredients, zero sugar or caffeine, and just 45 calories.
