Last season Andrew hit .564 with 54 runs, 10 homeruns, 47 RBI and 23 stolen bases. On the mound, he was 6-2 with a 1.94 ERA, and 65 strikeouts.

His baseball honors included being named CHL Player of the Year, Cincinnati Div. III Player of the Year and Ohio Div. III Player of the Year. He will play baseball collegiately at the University of Arkansas.

In basketball, Andrew is the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,753 points and was CHL Player of the Year and 1st team SWO district this season and last season was Cincinnati Div. III Player of the Year and Ohio Co-Player of the Year.

Last year as a junior, Andrew was a finalist for the LaRosa's MVP of the Year award.

COACH'S QUOTE – "Andrew is a very motivated athlete who hates to lose. He always wants to be the player who makes a difference in the outcome. When it is crunch time, Andrew is always the player who comes through."
