Just saw one of the most impressive things today in the 130 pound match between Heights’ Kendric  Maple and Maize’s Tim Dunham. Maple has controlled the match, but Dunham has got the strongest legs.

Maple had Dunham down on his back, but Dunham worked them around the perimeter of the ring by pushing up with his legs, pulling his whole body — and Maple’s — off the mat nearly completely. It was like he was doing the worm, with a 130-pound muscle man on top of him trying to  hold him down with all his strength. No lie, that was amazing. To think of the power that must take.

Maple just won 15-2.

The other amazing bit of strength I saw was Derby’s heavyweight, Kyle Westmoreland, pick up Leavenworth’s Brett Johnston and throw him down. Wow. That’s a lot of weight.

Other winners are Blue Valley North’s Nathan McCormick at 125 and Jesse Barber from Dodge City.
