CAMPBELL OH- In a recent episode of the YSN Live podcast, the spotlight was on Sway Rodriguez, a remarkable basketball talent from the Campbell Memorial Red Devils. Renowned for his flair and impeccable game sense, Rodriguez candidly shared insights into his captivating journey on and off the court.

The highlight-reel moments fill Rodriguez’s career, such as his memorable buzzer beater against Gerard, a testament to his instinctive basketball prowess.
