Plans to attend Coastal Carolina University

Message from family: "We are very proud of you Tyler, and know you will be a big success in the Marine Biology major that you have pursued, and look forward to see you marching in the Chaunticleer Marching Band this Fall at CCU football games. It was truly a pleasure to watch you grow during your years at York. We loved watching your band performances, and all of your years of Chiefs Hockey games."
