Decatur Daily Democrat:
Cody Walters, who stands about 5-7, was one of the toughest guys on that Bellmont Sectional football championship team last fall. Today, in the eyes of many, he stands much taller than the new World Trade Center building going up in New York City; taller than that "world's biggest" in Dubai.
It was Cody Walters who, when he learned a friend's mother was battling breast cancer, charged ahead harder than he ever did on a football field, and he was one tough dude when he was toting that ball. The senior at Bellmont launched a website to accept money offers to help his friend's familiy. He set a goal of $100 ... and raised the goal several times.
Today, the fund has raised over $5,000 for Katie and Matt Birch and their family, including Isaac, the football player/wrestler who was one of a close-knit group of football players who last fall overcame a lot of odds to secure only the school's second Sectional championship ever.
