This will be the final boys soccer season for Calvert Hall's Andy Moore

Calvert Hall boys soccer coach Andy Moore announced Friday that this will be his final season coaching the Cardinals.

Moore has been with the program for 20 years, the past 14 as head coach. In his time as head coach, Moore has a 162-82-26 record with two Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference championships (2002, 2003).

In 2002, the Cardinals went 18-0 in league play to become the first team in MIAA history to complete a perfect conference season.

Moore cited spending more time with his family as the primary reason for stepping down. He
has three children that all play soccer -- Emma, 13; Grace, 11; and Peter, 9.

"My oldest daughter is going to high school next year and the thought of not being able to see her play was too much -- you just can't get that time back," Moore said. "So I'm leaving with good feelings. Obviously, you think about the championships and some of the great players you've coached, but I see it as a whole and all the great kids I've coached. It's good to feel you've had an impact on so many people's lives."

Moore teaches European History, French and Humanities at Calvert Hall and will continue to do so after stepping down as coach.

“It has been a privilege to work with Andy for the 20 years that he has coached at Calvert Hall," Calvert Hall athletic director Louis Eckerl said in a press release. "Andy has mentored his players both on and off the field. I will very much miss having Andy as our soccer coach and I will look at the process of filling the soccer position after the current season.”
