Andrew is a freshman at STA who beat the odds and made the varsity team. This is a remarkable demonstration of skill and sportsmanship, as many students work throughout their high school careers in order to achieve this honor. In his first year on the team he was in the starting lineup multiple times, scoring a goal and assisting three more! In addition to his position as a forward on the STA Raiders Men’s Soccer Team, he travels with South Florida Soccer Team throughout the season. Andrew strives to emulate his favorite professional players on the field. “Watching professional players play is what helps you to be a better player and go to the next level.”
