While D’Andre’s transfer has been approved by the La Cañada Unified School District, he’s still going through paperwork to enroll in classes at La Cañada and be cleared by the CIF Southern Section. After being the only sophomore on the Stingrays varsity team in 2011, the incoming senior took a break from football his junior season to take a break to focus on music. “I wanted to come back and play for my dad and help win some games,” said D’Andre, who lifted weights at La Cañada High Tuesday.ĭ’Andre, who arrived in California Friday, previously played football his sophomore year at Florida’s Atlantic Coast High.
“He picked one up and said, ‘Dad, you have to reserve me one of these helmets,’” said James, who learned his son’s transfer to La Cañada was officially approved two weeks ago. During the trip, James took him to La Cañada’s locker and equipment rooms and showed him the new football helmets La Cañada will don in 2013. Hope for a father-son reunion was sparked after D’Andre visited his dad and La Cañada High in November. It’ll be the first time since D’Andre, 17, was 10 years old that he’s played under his dad. This year, another Sims - D’Andre, James’ son - is set to trade the sunshine state for the golden one and join the Spartans. A year ago, James Sims left his coaching position at Florida’s Hawthorne High in favor of a move to La Cañada High football.
