At 1 min left in the 4th quarter, Curtis High was on the 4 yrd line to the goal and Emerald Ridge defender intercepted the ball. Running from the opposite side of the field, Freshmen Linemen #57 Rocco Lavata’i, chased down the defender 70 yards for the tackle. ER took a knee to end the game.

As a freshmen who’s starting varsity, it’s MORE than just a sport to him. Taking his eldest brother @robbylava1 senior jersey number and playing side by side with his 2nd eldest @_rashaun55 . Nephew, your journey is just beginning.

Leave It All On The Field 🙌🏾
