Expert Analysis
Hunter Tierney | Prep Redzone Scout
There aren’t many tougher ways to introduce yourself to the varsity world than making your first-ever start in an Open Division playoff game against a defense like Red Mountain’s, but Cody Lalama Cody Lalama 5'11" | 160 lbs | QB ALA-QC | 2028 AZ handled it like he’d been there before. The numbers on their own are impressive for a debut – throwing for 217 yards and two touchdowns while completing 68% of his passes against a front that can flat-out get after you – but what stood out most was how calm he looked doing it. ALA–QC didn’t have an easy night running the ball, which meant he was playing behind the sticks more than you’d like, taking live bullets all night, and still finding ways to get the ball out on time. There were snaps where he took hits and popped right back up, snaps where he quietly worked through progressions and hit the right matchup instead of forcing something just because it was a playoff game, and snaps where his poise clearly settled everyone else down. For a program that’s now sliding into the 6A bracket with big expectations, that kind of early proof-of-concept from a young quarterback is huge. He may not have walked out with the win here, but he showed enough in one night to make you think ALA–QC’s future under center is in really good hands.
