Patrick Andrews, Senior at Laurel High School, was selected as a South Central Sports Medicine Scholar Athlete. Patrick plays football and golf at LHS. After Patrick graduates in May, he plans to further his education by studying criminal justice.

Patrick finds his motivation to strive for excellence through his family. When he is not in the classroom or the playing field, he enjoys spending time with family and friends. The goal for Patrick in the 17-18 school year is return to the MS State Championship in Football. He aims to do this by focusing on one game at a time. He looks up to the entire Tornado Coaching Staff at Laurel High School. If Patrick could meet one professional athlete, he would choose Deion Jones, defensive linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons. Patrick’s advice for younger athletes is to never give up.
