HONORING ANTHONY ``TONY'' EUBANKS
(Mr. BARRETT of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. BARRETT of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, Anthony ``Tony'' Eubanks,
professional basketball player, collegiate basketball record holder and
two-time All American, during Black History Month, I would like to
recognize his efforts as a mentor to our Christian youth in South
Carolina.
Through his professional basketball career, Tony was able to travel
to the Middle East, Europe, and Argentina. This travel led him to work
with youth as a volunteer for Young Life, FCA, and other ministries.
Currently, he now serves as the chaplain of the Clemson Tigers
football team and volunteers with FCA on the Clemson campus.
South Carolina is proud to have this citizen who is so truly
dedicated to strengthening youth faith. Each day, he contributes to
pregame chapels, coaches' Bible study and graduate assistants' Bible
studies, and other ministries that continue to make a difference in the
lives of athletes, coaches, and the community.
Tony is not only a leader for our youth, but also a strong role model
for athletes. He is a true athlete for Christian Ministries.
