March 7, 2017

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina will honor the memory of White Knoll HS student-athlete Brett Williams before Wednesday night’s South Carolina-Winthrop baseball game. Williams, who had committed to South Carolina, passed away on January 17 earlier this year.

Williams will be honored with a moment of silence before Wednesday night’s game. His parents Nathan and Laurie Williams will throw out the ceremonial first pitch with his brother Wesley Williams catching. Wesley is a junior catcher on Winthrop’s baseball team. A flag with Brett’s name and number 22 will fly on one of the flagpoles during Wednesday night’s game. The Gamecocks will also present the family Brett’s Gamecock jersey and the flag that will fly in his honor on Wednesday night.
