Sophomores Moving On
On behalf of the Andrew College baseball coaching staff we would like to thank our sophomores for their dedication in the class room and on the baseball field. These individuals have been a pivotal part of the Tiger Family and we wish them the best of luck moving forward. Head Coach Blake Williams had this to say about his sophomore class: "These guys have been a huge part of our program not only on the field but in the class room as well. Their leadership will be missed as they have meant a lot to Andrew College from their consistent work ethic and development over their time with us. Our coaching staffs goal every year is to help these guys develop and reach their max potential and move these guys along to a four-year institution to continue their education and playing careers. I sincerely appreciate these sophomores for their dedication to Andrew College and we wish them nothing but the best in their future."
