Jace Rodriguez has scored a lot of goals during his Ogden High School career, over 70 in fact.

His final goal in a Tiger uniform on Monday afternoon is arguably the biggest of his career.

Rodriguez scored the only goal in the 3A championship game at Zions Bank Stadium, a 66th minute tally on an assist from Harry Hoskins, as Ogden eked out the 1-0 win over Morgan for its 43rd straight win and third consecutive state championship.

“This one was way different. My last goal of my high school career,” said Rodriguez. “Nothing better than that three-peat. That felt good.”

Ogden coach Todd Scott said once the winning streak passed 30 he stopped keeping track as that’s never been the goal. Everyone in that department is a bonus as the end goal of winning a state championship is all he cares about.

“I’ve been fortunate to have just great boys, but seeing them year-round makes a big difference and then being on campus and having them in class, honestly,” said Scott. “And so just having that bond, that brotherly and family bond, I think that’s what we pride ourselves and that’s why we’re able to kind of stick together.”

Temperatures on the turf at Zions Bank Stadium were over 90 degrees, and during the second half hydration break round the 60th minute, Rodriguez was subbed off in an effort by the coaches to keep players fresh.

Naturally, Rodriguez stood on the sideline just itching to get back in the match as the minutes ticked away on the scoreless match.

Less than a minute after re-entering, but put his final stamp on the season.
