BATON ROUGE PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

MALE

Cody Hill

Live Oak, wrestling

The junior returned to action Friday after having staples removed from his head earlier in the week and didn't miss a beat. Hill pinned his quarterfinal and semifinal opponents and then rolled, 11-4, in the 128-pound finals against Catholic's Brennan Taylor, against whom he had suffered his head injury two weeks earlier. Hill's victory marked his second consecutive city title, and the Eagles' standout earned Outstanding Wrestler recognition for the lower weight classes for his effort.
