Coach Greg Ferguson’s quote: 

“Andrew has a great attitude, he’s very patient, and he works hard to be at his best when he competes. He has learned that there are a lot of good players, and if you want to stay with them, you need to continually work on improving. Winning at the Happy Valley tournament was well deserved. His patience and positive attitude will allow him the opportunity for more success as the season moves on.”
