Sports brings us together. Athletics can help form friendships and develop connections that have the potential to last a lifetime. For former Lady Bear guard Lacy Stokes and Bears second baseman Nick Rodriguez, sports served as the main catalyst for an even deeper relationship.
But how did this bond emerge between the two stars?
Through mutual friends consisting of one of Stokes’ teammates and one of Rodriguez’s teammates, the two star athletes met.
From there, the ball started rolling.
Soon, Stokes and Rodriguez met at the 12th annual Maroon and White Honors Banquet and Scholar-Athlete Awards ceremony.
