🔺 In The Spotlight. Former South Carolina outfielder Jake Williams produced the film SEC Storied: In Spirit, celebrating the Gamecocks’ back-to-back College World Series championships in 2010 and 2011. The film highlights the inspiration provided by two young boys battling cancer, Charlie Peters and Bayler Teal. Williams, who played on the 2011 team, spent eight years developing the project, looking to honor the teams, coaches, teammates, and the families impacted by their journey.

The film premieres tomorrow at 7 p.m. on SEC Network.

“You don’t have to love sports or baseball to connect with this story.”
