Jax Andrews – Nemo Vista (501 Basketball Team 2024)

Jax Andrews is not afraid to put in the hard work on and off the court.

“The amount of work that you are willing to put into something will be shown in your future actions,” he said. “This thought is something that I have lived by, and it has helped me achieve a 4.0 GPA, along with tons of progress with my performance on the court.”

Andrews gets the offense going for Nemo Vista from his point guard position.

“Jax is a leader and great teammate,” said Nemo Vista Head Coach Chandler Stanek. “He holds himself and his team to a high standard on and off the court. I expect him to lead the team through adversity and continue his solid point guard play.”

Andrews has set multiple goals for his final season at Nemo Vista: shoot more than 35 percent from 3-point range and have an assist-to-turnover ratio of 4-to-1. He also competes in baseball for the Red Hawks. 

He’s involved in Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Beta Club, Fire Marshall, Quiz Bowl, Gifted and Talented and Student Council. He also coaches a fourth-grade Nemo Vista pee wee basketball team. He plans to attend Arkansas Tech University and study electrical engineering.

“I am very thankful for my coaches and teammates that have made this sport as great as it has been to me,” Andrews said. “I would like to especially thank Coach Perry, who has been on this journey with me since third grade.”
