Casey Curran of Blue Valley North had a monster game against Blue Valley undefeated and I believe #1 in 5A Kansas and #2 in the KC Metro area for big schools. Casey's team lost to Blue Valley 52-17 but Casey had 232 yards in 22 carries, including touchdown runs of 79 and 73 yards.
The Aquinas wrestlers also had big days in their 27-0 win over Blue Valley Northwest. Alex Lopez offered great blocking for runners and protection for the quarterback. Mike Hammer, RJ Nill and EJ Walter led the defensive front four's charge. Hammer had a lot of tackles many of which were behind the line of scrimmage. Last night after the game, I saw one Kansas City TV news station with highlights of the game which showed Hammer making a hard tackle on the Blue Valley Northwest ball carrier behind the line on a play. The TV news reporter said that the ball carrier was "hammered" by Mike Hammer.
