CONGRATULATIONS TO THE COASTAL CAROLINA CHANTICLEERS
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, last Thursday, Coastal
Carolina University won their first-ever national title in the College
World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
The Chanticleers defeated the Arizona Wildcats 4-3 in the final game
of the series. I am grateful to recognize the entire team, and
especially honoring four members from the Second Congressional
District: Andrew Beckwith of Blythewood, Connor Owings and Mike
Morrison of Gilbert, and Brandon Miller of Aiken.
Andrew, a junior at Coastal Carolina, first demonstrated his skills
at Blythewood High School in South Carolina's Second District. He led
Blythewood to a 27-7 record and secured a 4A State championship in
2013. Andrew was also named the most outstanding player of the 2016
College World Series.
Prior to attending Coastal Carolina, seniors Connor Owings and Mike
Morrison led Gilbert High School to a 2A State championship. Both
Connor and Mike earned recognition on the Big South Presidential Honor
Roll from 2013 to 2015.
Freshman Brandon Miller, from Aiken High School, earned Second Team
All-Area by the Augusta Chronicle.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on
terrorism.
Congratulations to Coastal Carolina University, represented by
Congressman Tom Rice.
