I thought this would be the year that La Porte would challenge North Shore for the district title. After all their "Big 3" of Tori Wise, Jeslee Lozano and Elise Rodriguez were back from being All District selections last seasons and with good summers under their belts, they seemed prime for the challenge
Since the game starts where, it's unfortunate that Rodriguez has been battling injuries all season which trickled over from the end of summer however this 2014 GPR Under The Radar player showed a glimpse of what has impressed me about her since middle school as she gave solid minutes during the Peggy Whitley Classic
With a healthy Rodriguez, to go along with Wise and Lozano, not to mention the emergence of freshman Sierra "SiSi"Wooley , they may do some damage before the end of the season.
Tonight they host North Shore who has been surprising to say they least and move--in Valencia Nelson has been paying dividends for the Mustangs so this will be a tough one.
