Dillon Christian Three-Sport Athlete “Molly Andrews” Named The NETC Female Student Athlete of the Month

        Dillon—Dillon Christian three-sport athlete Molly Andrews has committed to play college softball at Coker College next season, after batting .460 with 22 RBI’s and seven home runs for her team as a junior.

She is currently a four-year starter on the volleyball team at Dillon Christian, where she is a talented left-side hitter. She has also been a three-year starter, as a shooting guard, on the Warrior’s basketball team.

In the class room, Andrews has a 5.0 GPA. Once in college she hopes to major in Criminal Justice. She has a strong desire to one day become an FBI agent.

For all her athletic and academic accomplishments, Andrews has been chosen the September “NETC Female Student Athlete of the Month.” 

 This honor is bestowed through a partnership between the Northeastern Technical College and “The High School Sports Report” with the publication communicating with athletic directors at high schools in the counties of Dillon, Marlboro, and Chesterfield, where NETC serves the needs of high school students seeking to earn dual credits in various subjects that can be transferred to colleges after a student’s high school graduation.

To date, Andrews has taken advantage of the opportunity offered by “NETC” by completing work in the online courses of English 111, English 112 and History 131. She is currently taking History 111 through the “NETC”.

“Taking online courses through the “NETC” has helped prepare me for college and it has helped me improve my GPA that will help me earn academic scholarship funds once I go to college,” said Andrews. “Taking online courses has helped me improve my time management skills that I will need once I get to college. I like the fact that you take online courses at your own pace and this is really important to me being so involved in athletics, and other activities also.”

Andrews said he hopes to play third base in college. “I call third base the hot corner and you have to be ready for some well-hit balls coming at you,” she said. “Playing third base has helped me develop quick feet and quick hands. You also have to stay alert at all times.”

What interest Andrews about the possibility of becoming an FBI agent? “I would love being an investigator and being able to help track down criminals through my own instincts and training,” she said. “I have always wanted to work with the FBI for some reason.”

Two of her proud moments as a student athlete have come when she received an award for being on the “A” honor roll at Dillon Christian and the other was the fact she helped her softball team beat rival Williamsburg Academy four times during her career.

“High school students in our region of the state should look into taking online courses through the “NETC” because it will help them get better prepared for college,” said Andrews. “Taking online courses will also help improve your study habits as well.”
