Boys Athlete of the Week // Kevin Rodgers, Mount St. Joseph, ice hockey

Entering Friday's Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association championship, Rodgers had seven goals and 12 assists in 17 games, but coach Rob Merson said the senior had been somewhat unlucky."He hit a lot of posts," Merson said. But in the most important game of the season, Rodgers put his team on his back. He had two goals and four assists in a 7-3 victory over defense-heavy St. Paul's. "He has decent skills, decent hands and is a smart hockey player," said Merson, who saw his team return to being a champion for the first time in three years. "The points he scored in that game were amazing, and I could play him at any position." Rodgers carries a 3.2 GPA, plans to major in political science in college and is considering George Washington and James Madison.
