“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. ____________________”
