Doug Shaw Memorial
Stadium was re-named for long-time Myrtle Beach High School
football coach Doug Shaw, who died suddenly November 11, 1994,
at age 52. The football stadium was built in 1968 on city-owned
land behind Pepper Geddings Recreation Center and given to the
city, thanks to a $200,000 fund-raising effort. Originally, the
new football field was simply named Memorial Stadium, but on
September 12, 1995, City Council approved a resolution renaming
the facility in Doug Shaws honor. He had been Myrtle Beachs
head football coach for 25 years and an assistant coach the two
previous years. His football teams had a record of 223 wins, 77
losses and two ties. They won four state championships and 16
conference titles and competed in the playoffs 23 of his 25
years. Today, the city and the Horry County School District
jointly own the facility.
