- Seaton wins KVL after battling flu
- February 13, 2008
- Caleb Seaton had been sick all week. He had the flu and was running a fever on Friday. It was a 50/50 proposition as to whether the 103-pounder from Bonner Springs High School would even be allowed to wrestle on Saturday at Lansing High. Seaton, though, is a glass half full type of athlete and the freshman, with his 31-2 record, wanted to see how well he could perform in Kaw Valley League tournament. The answer was at a championship level. He won the championship match in thrilling fashion. “I just kept pushing it,” he said. “I didn’t give up in the match.” The performance earned the admiration of other coaches. “Caleb really gutted it out in finals,” Basehor-Linwood coach Scott Neil said. Bonner Springs coach Dan Burns said his freshman wrestler was an inspiration of the mats. “He did really well and showed a lot of character,” Burns said. “He found something from within that allowed him to overcome a deficit. In the end, he had the heart to get it done. It makes you feel good to see that. Everybody gets sick, but he made the decision and apparently knew he could get it done.” Seaton said it phenomenal to win the Kaw Valley League title. “It feels pretty good,” he said. “My brother won it one time and I wanted to win it.” He said the finals match was a constant struggle.

- Bobcats overcome sluggish start to earn road victory over Jaguars
- February 13, 2008
- Mill Valley boys basketball players used a different defense in Friday’s 40-30 loss to Basehor-Linwood High School.
