4 state players on Lowe's Senior CLASS Award List

Four players from South Carolina schools are among the 30 candidates for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award announced today.

The are Charleston Southern pitcher Charlie McCready, The Citadel outfielder Nick Orvin, Clemson catcher-first baseman-outfielder and South Carolina pitcher Michael Roth.

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.

 An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

The 30 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, Division I head coaches and fans who will select one finalist who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
