Putting soccer balls in the back of the net with ferocious shots on goal has been a staple of Jason Rodriguez’s life ever since he put on shinguards as a kid.
Rodriguez, who has scored a team-high 22 goals this season, scored two goals in Interlake’s 2-1 victory against the Mercer Island Islanders in the Class 3A KingCo championship game. The Saints will host a yet to be determined opponent in the first round of the Class 3A state playoffs on May 20 in Bellevue. Rodriguez said the Saints are a special squad.
“I think we have a really good opportunity. We have really talented players and work totally as a team. We know each other very well,” Rodriguez said.
Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Rodriguez a few questions about his life away from the soccer field.
