Andy McCaskill was an outstanding forward with great speed playing seventh and eighth grade for my last years of junior high and automatic starter in ninth grade for the varsity. If memory holds strong, he at least earned District Player of the year, if not State Player based upon his speed and hustle and scoring.
Andy was representative of the many fine young skilled, hustling, and savvy soccer players that played for me and developed even further for varsity. Andy never gave this coach any concern or trouble and was quiet and thoughtful on and off the field. This coach had mentioned him previously in a blog along with eight to ten former players who have succeeded in some aspect of ministry. An update on Andy was sent to me by Aaron Dowdy who is also involved in missions and corresponds with Andy; Aaron followed Andy in varsity play by maybe two years.
The latest news on McCaskill is that he and wife Susan are on the mission again in Thailand....now with two boys...Josiah and Elijah and sister Moriah. They are doing well after fighting the strong flu scare a few months ago, and Susan helps with girls' soccer; knowing how well Andy had played soccer, I would assume he might be involved in some sort of soccer level also. This blog will update the readers as news comes in on the progress of the McCaskills
