ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: GRACE ANDREW

Key West High School
Junior
Girls Soccer

“She was dominant defensively and made offensive runs as well.”

– SCOTT PAUL, KEY WEST GIRLS SOCCER COACH

Key West’s solid 4-2 start this season is due in part to defensive midfielder Grace Andrew. A dynamic player, Andrew uses her speed to get the ball out of Conch territory and to set up offensive plays when needed. Grace plays her part on the team by creating scoring chances for the forwards, earning assists on offense and covering Key West’s half of the field when necessary. After watching Andrew’s performance in a win against Lemon Bay on Nov. 19 – a match in which she earned Player of the Game honors – and a second game against St. Brendan that ended early due to inclement weather, coach Scott Paul described her as a “dominant presence.” 

For her strong work ethic and unselfish performance, Key West’s Grace Andrew is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
