Catching Up with Cody

by Jerry Saulman

In 7th grade, Cody Rademacher found football.

That is to say, he finally found himself in football. He had wanted to play in Pop Warner, but he was heavier than they allowed to play. It seems that Pop Warner football has a very strict age/weight plan that is in place to keep the game safe by assuring players are playing with similarly built peers. When he reached 7th grade, the other players (and the weight brackets) finally caught up with him.... It was love at first play, literally, and Cody took to football immediately and has never looked back.
