Uncommitted Spotlight: Coaching Father A Big Influence On Andrews

PORTAGE - The influence a coaching father can have on a son is endless.

Gannon Andrews has just that in his dad Chris, the head baseball coach at Portage Northern.

“I’ve grown up in the dugout at high school games since I can remember,” the junior-to-be said. “My dad has been coach since I was born.”

The love of the game has certainly rubbed off on Andrews, whose father is closing in on 500 victories after just completing his 18th year in charge of the Huskies.

“My dad has definitely influenced me by me watching the way he coaches,” Andrews explained. “I see him as a great role model and I want to do a good job for him. He played high school and college ball and I want to follow in his footsteps.”

The 30th-ranked player in the state’s 2020 class is headed in that direction with an unofficial visit to Michigan and a Ball State camp thus far. Central Michigan, Western Michigan, Grand Valley and Davenport are others that have the promising catcher on their radar.
