Cody is a
talented kid with great mat skills that have taken him a long way in
wrestling.
He has been in the state finals every year, finally
winning that elusive title last year, when he obliterated
everyone who stepped on the mat with him, including the
15-0 destruction of Wasatch's freshman standout Jake
Fassold, and the second-round pin of Juab's Tanner Linton
in the finals. His sophomore year, he pinned every
opponent to make it to the finals before falling to Uintah
stud Colby Christensen. That was actually a rematch
for the state championship because, as a freshman, Cody
lost to Christensen in the finals, as well. But his
junior-year state tournament may not really describe the
level that he has risen to as a competitor. At the
2010 Rocky Mountain Rumble, he won the tournament in high
fashion, dismantling Payson's Tito Ortiz in the finals
10-0. But that came after an equally impressive 8-1
win over Payson's Zac Loveless in the semis, and beating
Davis' Brett Naylor 5-2 in the quarters. (This was a
payback match, after Naylor beat Hone at the All-Star
Duals 7-5.) He's been a UtahWrestling.org Wrestler
of the Year each year of his high-school career, but it
appears that he was saving the best for last, really
stepping up his junior year and finishing with a record of
42-3. I think that will continue in his senior year,
where he will round out four years in the state finals and
winning his second state title in even more dominant
fashion and (dare I say it?) an unblemished records in
2010–2011.
