"It means a lot, it really shows how much there truly is love around me , I always just wanted to come into a high school sport and just make my mark and truly seeing everybody here truly makes me think that I did and you know I just love this sport so much and I just love seeing that there' so much love around it. I've always just wanted to play at that high level, it's been my goal since forever and it's just so real playing at the next level" Rocha said.
