Congratulatory remarks were also made by school board president Dr. Barbara Herrington, superintendent Ron Mayfield, and GHS principal Jeremy Ross.

 

Also taking the stage were current and former basketball players from Andrews’ coaching days in Tolar, Gustine, Comanche, Corpus Christi Calallen, and Granbury.  This included the coach’s three daughters – Linda, Sissy, and Lisa.
