As one of 16 seniors, Kodey McKinney is the centerpiece of SJO's offense. Through a tough season, game after game, McKinney plays to win. No matter the score, even when the chips are down, he refuses to give up. Starting all eight games this season leading up to tonight’s season finale, McKinney has thrown for 1,760 yards and rushed for another 343.

Whether he’s calling for the snap, dribbling down the court, or hitting a line drive between the bases, the same three words—tenacious, decisive and focused—describe his performance in every game. Here are a few more words that help us get to know Kodey a little better.
