By Isabel Moorman

In a year full of highs, one accomplishment stands out as a testament to dedication, teamwork, and personal growth. For Carson Cody, breaking the MHS scoring record of 1,248 points in basketball is more than just an achievement—it's a reminder that hard work truly pays off.

“I’m very thankful for my teammates, coaches, and our school,” said Carson Cody, reflecting on the support system that helped him reach this milestone. “I wouldn’t have been able to be in this position without them.”

The significance of the record goes beyond the numbers. 

“Getting the record means a lot to me. It’s a reminder that hard work does pay off. It’s a source of pride knowing that I can accomplish whatever I put my mind to.” Carson Cody added. 

The impact of this achievement is not just about the recognition or the personal satisfaction—it’s also about the deeper lessons learned along the way. 

“It’s caused me to reflect more and to be even more thankful for the opportunities that come with being on the amazing team that I am a part of,” Carson shared. “There has been a lot of support from not only teammates and coaches but also teachers and people in the Montpelier community. It really does mean a lot to me.”

While the record will certainly make an impression, especially in the eyes of future college recruiters, Carson Cody is quick to acknowledge that the true value lies in the journey itself. 

“I don’t know how much the accomplishment alone will affect my future, other than looking good for colleges, but it’s the skills and friendships I’ve gained along the way that will do me good,” Carson Cody reflected. “Learning how to work with others on a team, networking to find places to train even when gyms were closed, handling pressure during big games, and learning how to appreciate the journey more than the destination; those are the things that will shape my future.”

For Carson Cody, the record is just one chapter in an ongoing story of growth and learning, made all the more meaningful through the unwavering support of a tight-knit community. This achievement not only marks the culmination of years of dedication but also serves as a stepping stone toward a future filled with even greater opportunities.
