Hes the type of young man every coach wants in their program.

Andrew College is getting a player who will represent their program the right way every single day.
Throughout his time at Griffin High, Sullivan earned the respect of teammates and coaches through his willingness to do whatever was necessary to help the team succeed.
Whether scoring, defending, rebounding or providing leadership, he consistently embraced his role and set a positive example for younger players.
His commitment continues a strong tradition of Griffin High athletes moving on to compete at the collegiate level and reflects the growth of the Bears basketball program under Moores leadership.
Now, the focus shifts to Andrew College, where Sullivan will have the opportunity to continue developing his game while pursuing both athletic and academic success.
For Griffin High, it is another proud moment as one of its own takes the next step toward achieving his dreams..
