CUTHBERT, Georgia, USA – Virgin Islands national football player Troy Caesar was recently honoured by the Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association (GCAA) for his exploits as a player for Andrew College in the United States.

In fact, the Andrew College men's football team garnered eight end-of-the-season awards, the GCAA announced on Wednesday November 4, 2015.

"Every individual honour bestowed upon these players is an atonement to the entire team and the competitive nature of the program," said head coach Rudy Roediger. "Every player in our squad has been invaluable in helping us achieve a little piece of history this season. I'm proud of every player in our squad for what they have managed to accomplish thus far and the future looks very bright with five freshman earning honours."

The eight honourees doubled the number of All-Region 17 award winners from a year ago, and not only gave Andrew its first but three First Team winners for the first time since 2004.

"It's a total team effort that got us here and that will lead us forward," said Roediger.

Caesar, who skippered local side Ballstarz, was one of two earning All-Tournament Team for Andrew College.

The midfielder started a team-high 17 matches in his debut season for the Fighting Tigers and helped Andrew to a defensive turnaround from 2014. The Fighting Tigers kept three shutouts with the BVI Men's National Football Team captain on the field and allowed 51 fewer goals from the year before his arrival.
