Five years ago as a sixth grader at Morgantown (W. Va.) Middle School, Cody Kirk got his introduction to amateur folkstyle wrestling.
“The wrestling team actually showed up in the cafeteria and did some examples ,” Kirk recalled. “They had rolled out the mats and showed all the students these moves. my friend told me I should join, so I joined the wrestling team and I loved it.”
A member of Enterprise’s varsity team since his seventh-grade season, Kirk captured his 100th victory on Nov. 18 in the championship match of the Gulf Coast Classic in Mobile, winning 3-1 in sudden death overtime over Hudson Sharon of Teurings Catholic . Enterprise head coach Willie Fells said Kirk possesses a lot of traits that make him a highly-successful wrestler.
Kirk is constantly in a wrestling room, learning more moves and sharpening ones he already has in his repertoire.After finishing last season at the 96-career win mark, Kirk knew he was closing in the milestone at the start of the season. After three wins at the season-opening Gulf Coast Classic, he knew going to the finals that it could be his 100th win.
The Wildcat wrestler feels he is especially strong in the neutral and bottom positions, though he constantly works on every phase.
