Well,
My Junior season is over and we lost all our games. Individualy, I had good stats on offense and defense. As a team we could not get anything going because of many factors I will not post on the internet.
However, we were moved down one class and placed in a new region because the attendance at our school has dropped. We are now in 2A Region 7. This lines us up with teams that are more evenly matched to us and we do not have to drive 2 hours each week to play a game.
I look forward to my senior season. I have already started my off-season training and will continue to do so until the season starts next year. We will see how it turns out but I feel good about it right now.
Till next time...... Cody Taylor

| We just found out from the AHSAA that we will be in Class 2A Region 7. I am so glad we are dropping down a Class for next year. We struggled this year because we only had 22 players. This should make it a little more balanced concerning the competition we face. I look forward to it! |

First, I had a good game this past Friday against Northside High School. We lost the game but I had 3 sacks for 21 total yards loss, 1 35 yard td reception and another 17 yd reception. I had a total of 11 tackles not including the sacks. Needless to say, I had fun this past Friday.
Also, my dad helped me register with the NCAA clearing house today. should get my SAT scores on the 29th of this month. I pray that I did good! It is hard to guage whether I did well or not because those tests are made to be difficult. Here's hoping I did good!!!
Till Next Time,
Cody |

Our team has not won a game this year. We have played five teams ranked in the top 20 in the state. Dressing out 20 players has not helped either. I have to play both sides of the ball. I can not lie about that; it sucks. However, this is nothing new to me. I have played both side of the ball four years. I think it has made me a better player because I get to hone my skills on defense and offense. This helps my field vision.
It has been frustrating to work so hard and not win any games. We have a new coaching staff this year that has not helped the situation either. To top it all off, we are playing in Class 3A which is one level above where we need to be.
That is ok though. It will make us better and we will drop down to Class 2A next year. This should level the playing field a bit. Then we will be able to play aginst other teams that have a small amount of players too.
I am in superb shape, but playing WR & RB on offense and then playing OLB, CB or Saftey on defense can get tiring. It can take a lot out of you.
Till Next Time,
Cody A Taylor |

Man-O-Man, this was a tough game for us. We do not have a lot of depth. We dress out 19 players. We played a 4A school that dressed out over 50 players. Our line got hammered the whole game. There was no way for me to run the ball good. I got hit behind the line of scrimmage everytime but once. Our offense was awful! It also seemed as if they knew what we were running on offense!
Defensively, I played ok. I got around 12 tackles and assitted on a handful too. I have to look at the footage to get the right number. I jammed a Wide Reciever off of his feet; literaly. I did give up one TD because the coaches called a cover 3 which makes me keep the opponent in front of me. I did what they told me to. Anyway, our first game was not good at all. I definitely did not reach the goals I set for offense and I was one interception away from obtaining my defensive goals. We play West Blockton next week which is a regional game. We have to play 4 schools that are ranked in the top 20 right now. It is going to be a rough season! |

We will play at Corner High School tonight in northern Jefferson County, Alabama. They are a 4A school and have many more players than we do. I look forward to the game. My goal is to get at least 3 TD's, 10 Tackles, and one interception. Yes I play both sides of the ball; RB & SS, sometimes corner. I know that stats seem a little over the top, but what is the point in setting a goal that is easy to achieve?
We played Dora, a 4A school, last week in a Jamboree game. Our coach used that game as an opportunity to move some guys around to see how they perform in different positions. I was a WR the first 3 Quarters. At the start of the 4th Quarter the score was Dora 26, SCS 6. Coach put me and Trey in the backfield. The final score was Dora 26, SCS 20. Even though I did not get a touchdown, I put up around 80 yards. We might have lost the Jamboree game, but we increaded our morale and drive by the fact of the rally. Till next time......Cody

| | Two-A-Days (Pre-Season) |

Well, the team started two-a-days this week. We have a new coach this year; thank God! The spread offense killed us last year. Our school is to small for the spread because we had the same players on the field the whole game. They were exhausted by the end of the 3rd quarter. Anyway, we are going to use a tighter formation/offense this year.
I feel this will be good for the team and we have the potential to do well this year. We should be playing in a 2A region but we are 3A which makes it a little tougher. I am ready to give it my all. I will be the starting tail back this year. This will truly test my abilities and I look forward to the challenge. I have worked so hard over the summer in Alabama's football camp, 7 on 7 competitions, and working out. I want to see how much it has helped me on the field.
Till next time.....Cody |

| Well, I have been conditioning & weightlifting the whole summer. I have increased my bench, squat, hand clean, clean & jerk, and stamina. I found out the other day that I will probably be a wing back for the up coming season. I am excited about that! There are a lot of plays that could potentially come my way. Man! I love football. I am pumped for this upcoming season. I have waited awhile for this. I have a one week camp coming up and two 7 on 7 competitions. I look forward to those too! Anyway, I will keep everyone posted as to how everything goes after all these activities pass. Till next time...... Cody |

I registered for the Debartolo Combine that will be on July 17th. Wish me luck. I have been training to put up good stats. God willing, I do good at the combine because the results are sent to every college in the nation, ESPN, Rivals.com, & Scout.com. I will post my results when I get back.
Till next time....

UPDATE
My dad contacted the Debartolo Combine today to get the address of the event on July 17th and they told him they had canceled the event because of the economy. This is unreal! I have been training so hard for this in the upper 90 degree weather. I will not stop training though. It will only help me get better for the upoming season. I just wanted everyone to know. I am kind of dissappointed though :( |

| | New Hand Cling Max |

Well,
I maxed out at 355 on Hand Cling the other day. I thought I would able to do more, but not then. I think being at the football camp for four days straight took a little out of me concerning the max. I really wanted to get 385. I still think this is a good weight because I weighed in at 137 lbs, but I will not use that as excuse when I do not reach a goal. Until next time,
