Was he ever banned from Sebolt? Sebolt is basically year around.
I know they practice year-round, but I don’t think they compete against other clubs, or on the national circuit during Iowa’s high school season. At least not a whole lot. They definitely go to super 32 and things like that but I didn’t really see Kade’s name reemerge in tournament forecasts or recaps until summer tourneys.

I'm glad this wasn't the case for you. In my small town, being an athlete was the most important thing. You could cure cancer or walk on the moon, but not as important as high school football. All this the despite the area never even producing a D3 athlete :D
Athletes didn't really get special treatment in the small SW Iowa town I went to HS. You got special treatment based on who your parents were there.

My first HS was really small and the divide was farm and city. The farm kids generally were the better students and out fr everything. The town kids were where the smokers and druggies came from.
That's weird. My small rural HS had the same divide, but diametrically opposite. Town kids were the good students and athletes, while the farm kids were more the partiers. Both sides got along pretty well though.

Not exactly sure.

Farm kids were still the party group but they were the better students and athletes. The townies were an odd bunch.

I lived 5 miles from a school that had a graduation class of 250. I also lived 10 miles from graduation class of 32. We lived on the east side of the road which put me with the class of 32.

Lots of hard feelings back and forth between schools. It was OK for the big school guys to date girls from our school but guys from my school dare not date a girl from big school.

Most athletes were farm kids. Seemed kids in town didn’t really care to do a whole lot but go out and drink.

Never had a problem dating girls from the bigger school since we did all of our business, went to church, ate out, shopping/groceries in the bigger town. So I knew a lot of kids. Kinda weird knowing so many people my same age, but I got along with everyone.

Looks like iawrestle turned off or is deleting comments on that post. Post came up on my search page and says it has 47 comments…clicked it and it showed 2 comments, one a gif of a pencil and the other of a pencil sharpener. Clicked again and it’s just blank.

Why they’re even spotlighting the kid is beyond me

1) he is the #1 ranked kid at his weight
2) engagement

I agree, but as I've been told in the past, it's all about the clicks. Per your post, they got two out of you.

Meh, the 1000+ likes the post has (4x more than the one after it) does more for their engagement than my one post click and two comment checks. Wouldn’t have clicked it at all if I’d known who was in the photo, which i couldn’t tell from just the thumbnail on my search page.

Read some comments last night. A lot of pencil emojis, sexual assault references, and a few teen girls defending him and telling everybody they don't know him. Apparently we all need to know the real Kade to be able to judge how ****** up what he did is.

Sorry - was not a condemnation. It was a lame attempt at humor. :D
