Catalina Foothills made history nearly every week last fall. Rhett Rodriguez led it there.
The Falcons’ quarterback starred in a state semifinal game against Gilbert Higley, accounting for seven touchdowns in a 62-37 victory. In doing so, the son of UA coach Rich Rodriguez cemented himself as one of Tucson’s great prep quarterbacks.
The Arizona-bound quarterback deferred to his teammates after that game, saying “the offense was really clicking … it’s easy when you have teammates like this.”
That goes both ways — Rodriguez’s teammates couldn’t have done it without him.
The final stat line: 311 passing yards and four touchdowns, with 69 rushing yards and three scores.
