Exactly! I thought about that very scene just yesterday. That bastard was grinding on Cody's throwing hand like he was Chubby Checker doing The Twist!
But Cody was still able to lead the Friars to a state bowl game win 33-30.
And remember that Servite's final three opponents entered their matchups with Servite with a combined record of 39-0.
Cody Fajardo led the Friars to victory over Mission Viejo (12-0) by 19-18 in the semifinals,
over Edison (13-0) by 16-6 in the Div. 1 Championship game, and,
over Rocklin (14-0) by 33-30 in that 2009 State Bowl Game.
That left those teams with a combined record of 39-3.
