This was supposed to be a breakout season for La Porte junior Elise Rodriguez but nagging injuries throughout the past summer which lingered into the season had the young lady either playing in a tremendous amount of pain or not being able to play at all .
The good news is over the past month, she has been revitalized along with putting up numbers, a recent 20 point outburst against Beaumont Westbrook last week gives you an idea. Also she has helped guide her team during the second half of district, losing to North Shore and Channelview by five and PA Memorial by two, those are the three teams tied for first place in district, and all defeated LaPorte by double digits while Rodriguez was battling the pain
Even though she's still not 100% physically, she's mentally ready as the Bulldogs open up with one of the top teams in the state, Manvel, when the playoffs start next week.
One thing is for certain, this 2014 GPR "Under The Radar" player will be ready for the most important summer of her career
