St. Andrew’s School soccer

The St. Andrew’s Boys Varsity Soccer team is headed to Macon for the GISA Final Four on Saturday, May 7. Kick off is at 4 p.m. at Mercer University against Westminster School of Augusta.

According to Coach Blake Seale, the team has been extremely focused on the semi-final round. They have watched lots of game film this week to determine their opponents’ strengths and weaknesses and spent time on the field working on better field shooting positions. Coach Seale also shared two stats worth noting. Thaddeus Sawyer ’26 has over 100 steals this season and Gordon Standing ’23, with 25 goals, is the leading scorer for GISA schools.
