Rock Hill, South Carolina -- Charlotte Independence's Chris Leak threw for 184 yards and three touchdowns as North Carolina beat South Carolina 28-nothing today in the annual Shrine Bowl all-star game.

Leak, who lead his school to the state 4-Double-A title last week, helped the Tar Heel team to its first victory since 1998.

He hit on 15 of 25 passes and was voted North Carolina's offensive M-V-P. He had touchdown passes of 8 and 24 yards to Travis Lee of Shelby Crest and of 23 yards to Kenny Moore of Matthews Butler.

South Carolina had several chances to score, but -couldn't- get past the Tar Heel defense. North Carolina's Pierre Parker of Wilson Beddingfield, the team's defensive M-V-P, had an interception to end a South Carolina threat five yards from the end zone.

South Carolina quarterbacks were sacked eight times for 74 yards. South Carolina leads the series 37-25-and-4.
