About this Article

Sure, Andrew Spencer is playing football. He has since he was 7 years old, and now, 10 years later, he's a superstar senior wide receiver and defensive back for a Lakes team that is 4-1 and on its way to its best season in school history. But Spencer is still waiting for his dad to see him play. He's still waiting for his dad to watch him with the same pride that he did with his older brothers, Keon and Phillip.
