The Andover Central football team has been close to a state championship over Andrew Bolan’s time as a Jaguar.
They have made it to the title game in 2023 and 2021 and made it to the 4A quarterfinals in 2022. Bolan hopes that 2024 is the year Andover Central finally gets over the hump.
“A team goal would be to win a state championship,” Bolan said. “We have been close the last few years, so it would be really nice to end my senior year on a good note.”
Bolan has grown up with this teammates through grade school, middle school and high school. That is another reason why a special season would mean so much.
“I am most excited about playing my last high school season with my lifelong friends,” Bolan said. “The team will never be the same again so it is nice to just take it in and enjoy the moment.”
Limiting mistakes and being an efficient receiver are two areas of focus this season, while hoping to become a first team all-league selection.
“I wanted to polish up my technique this offseason and try not to get any penalties this season,” Bolan said. “I went to a few college camps this year and really focused on trying to put on some size while keeping my quickness.”
