Andy played baseball and basketball for AA Unicoi County, Tennessee. He is currently preparing for his second season of minor league baseball with the Cleveland Indians minor league system.

 

Last year with the Burlington Indians, he led the Appalachian League in Rbis and slugging percentage last year while finishing near the top of nearly every batting statistical category. His 11 home runs were second best in the short season Appy League. He was the only Burlington player named to the Appy All-League team.

 

Right now, he is in Florida showing the Indians what he can do in spring training camp. Hopefully, he will get sent to Single A Columbus but Single A Mahoning Valley is also a possibility. After that, he should go to Kinston then Akron then the big show.

I saw that boy play quite a bit of ball. He played with a team called the Knoxville Stars. He and his father along with his whole family are quality people. I kept up with him, watching him in some high school games,several summer league games, watched him on TV while he was at NC ST, and read the box score while he was at ETSU. I'm really glad to see he got a minor league deal. The best of luck to him.

Why thank you. I'm his first cousin. :)

 

Yes, his immediate family members are very high-quality people. His dad ended up with like 750 high school baseball wins and is now coaching softball since his daughter plays.

 

As far as the AAU Tennessee Stars, Andy really enjoyed that and got some great exposure. Now, we're trying to find a team for my brother to play AAU basketball this summer if anyone is out there that can help. He's 6'2' and around 170 pounds. As a 14-year old freshman this season, he averaged 14 points a game for his jv team and played some varsity for a senior-laden team. He can play all five positions equally well, is very athletic, handles the ball like a point guard, and is a great shooter with strong 3-point range.

 

We're just sort of frustrated because there aren't any AAU teams in the small Upper East TN town where we live (Erwin, TN) and we haven't been able to find a team for him yet. Even if we can't find a AAU team, we're just looking for a team that he can play some summer ball with. Any help is greatly appreciate.

    • Another Generation of the Lane name boosting the wrestling rivalry of McCallie - Baylor - Soddy. Great to see!!! https://www.timesfreepress.com/bestofpreps2024/Jaxon-Lane/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1ZWGaHB2ilMrnlyyumOPetIu9rF3aiBl0RtYQAEfwI3HxiFn--CtGziF8_aem_Achl6dRaS7Z-XOckkD2HqcBEsw7XwxkOKBY6-qTu8DCUR5253Zb_k5xogS7f0Dmq0Bq6wQdtwgcON0DQsPz-UlbN
    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets!
