Church Hill just as the funeral began at 2 And it would be equally difficult for those whom Mike left behind on earth to observe the beauty of the brand new church in which funeral was held and to reflect In their grief on the beauty of the relationship of fruitful 20 ypars to the church building itself which is yet unfinished Mike a standout football player at Church Hill High School who went on to star at the University of South Carolina is dead of cancer but to say that his work is ended is tosay that the yet-to-be-completed balcony of the Church Hill Baptist Church makes the church

their eyes In my seat in the balcony although I knew this was no football game I was covering the thought persisted that I was indeed sitting in a press box overlooking the field of play on which Mike had performed so well Proud for sports I was that the Rev White and the Rev Salley twin brother of Church Hill coach Salley could speak so meaningful of the Christian life "Mike had lived In just 20 years the Rev W'hite pointed out Mike had jived such a fine life that it could be held up as an example for others to follow Some live 40 50 60 years without setting that example the Rev White said The esteem in which Mike was held at South Carolina was shown 'by the presence of South Carolina head coach' Bass and several of Gamecock teammates in-- eluding Phil Branson of Church Hill the leading rusher this reason Yes Mike was young to die but unlike most of us Mike was ready to die Mike was a church goer a prayerful youth according to his pastor Our world of sports our area of sports can well be proud that Mike came this way As one of the eulogize pointed out Friday using a ship propelled by sails as an example: the ship as the breeze hits the sail slowly moves out of sight or goes
