Lions pair Harris Andrews and Charlie Cameron enjoyed a trip down memory lane over the bye weekend, all the way back to their school days.

The pair were among 25 inaugural inductees to the Hall of Fame of the Associated Independent Colleges, celebrating 25 years after being founded in 1998 as an athletic association for male secondary athletes.

Andrews was recognised for his exploits at Padua College in Kedron, and Cameron likewise for his time at Marist College Ashgrove.

Andrews finished at Padua in 2014, having represented the school in the Independent Schools Cup in football and been a member of their premiership-winning First V basketball team.

Cameron was a boarder at Marist, graduating in 2011 after playing in the original independent schools competition.

It is not the first time the pair have been linked via their schools, with Padua and Marist having played for the Andrews-Cameron Cup whenever they meet in the AIC First XVIII competition since 2021.

Fellow Queenslander Brendan Whitecross, who played 111 AFL games in an injury-plagued career at Hawthorn, was also inducted into the AIC Hall of Fame in recognition of his sporting exploits at St.Patrick’s College, Shorncliffe.
