Cody is a young man like Rudy. Small in stature but big in heart. When we only had seven men out for football in August 1, he was one of them. A senior who never played before and yet someone who wanted in the worst way to see his school compete.

He made every practice even though we did not have enough players to field a team until school started late in August. He helped encourage other students to join the team. During pre-season he worked all day from 4:30 AM with his dad on a crabbing boat til about 2 PM. He would go home, take a nap and then be at practice at 6. He gave super effort every day.

When we first played our first game, we had exactly 11 men. He and another running back, moved to the line in order to be sure we could play. At 144 pounds he helped us win our first game. He has demonstrated throughout the season thus far his desire to make big hits against opponents twice his size. He is well liked in the community, involved in school and community ( Fellowship of Christian Athletes and 4H) There is no doubt in my mind he is the fire behind our team.
