The Fayette County Record Schulenburg sophomore basketball player Airyanna Rodriguez knows what it’s like to compete on the big stage. She led her team to the state tournament last year in San Antonio and was the starting center for the Shorthorns. This year, she is upping the ante and looks to bring the state title home to Schulenburg. Rodriguez has scored in double figures in five out of the team’s last seven games and has played an important part as the team recently won seven games in a row. “Very hard working kid,” said Schulenburg head girls basketball coach Phillip Eddins. “Smart, intelligent, picks up things pretty easily. We rely on her for double-digit rebounds on a nightly basis. If she could get us double-digits points, that’s awesome. I think she’s had five double-doubles this year so far, which is second on the team. We rely on her to take care of everything inside. She’s a rim protector on the inside. If they’ve got a big girl, she takes care of that. Early on in the season, she had to miss a few games and you could tell we were having trouble inside the post area without her just because we were missing that size.” The commanding inside presence for Rodriguez has earned her a nomination as this edition’s Player of the Week.
