Sammy Swordsman Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Cody was able to accomplish this even after the Rocklin guy tried to maim his throwing hand by stepping on it out of bounds and grinding his cleat into it during the SBG. That my friends was the reason that Servite struggled offensively in the second half and helped Rocklin get back into a game they eventually lost.

Professor Fate Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited November 25, 2023 by Professor Fate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That left those teams with a combined record of 39-3. Yep I forgot about that! The final three games vs. 39-0 teams. Don't know if that has ever been accomplished besides Servite in 2009. All three of those final games were nailbiters. Even the Poly game before the 39-0 run, the Friars had to score a TD on their final possession. The Mission Viejo game, MV dominated the game but Servite put together one good drive, for the go ahead TD, and then MV barely missed their 2 pt conversion. The Edison game, Edison beat Servite early in the year when the Servite kids were all sick with the flu. Edison had a great passing combo but fortunately the game was played in a monsoon which made MV one dimensional. Cody took over that game with his running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Fate Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Yep. Another factor, if I recall, Coach Thomas said that someone had talked him into changing his defense for that first Edison game, and he was quoted as saying he wouldn't do that again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodysurf Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Those were good Servite teams that had that run of championships. The 2021 Servite team was better IMO. I did some research and something that compares is 2018 Mater Dei. There may be other teams. In their last 3 games in 2018 they ……. Beat 12-0 Corona Centennial in the SS semifinals. Beat 13-0 Bosco in the SS final Beat 12-0 De La Salle in the State final 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
