The Kansas Eight-Man Football Association's annual State Powerlifting Championship is one of the largest competitions of its kind in the state.

Almost 400 total lifters - 279 boys, 112 girls - participated in the event which includes athletes only from schools that play 8-Man football and are dues paying members of the Kansas Eight-Man Football Association. Athletes from 6-Man schools are also allowed to participate if they pay dues to the KEMFA.

Aubree Dewey’s energy and enthusiasm carries over into every sport she plays.

Dewey is perhaps most well known for her success with the Plainville basketball team, but in the fall she succeeds in cross country and now in the spring she is one of the state's top track athletes. According to those close to her, it is Dewey’s dedication that stands out the most.

Plainville track and field head coach Norma Finnesy describes Dewey as reliable with a drive to compete.

Last summer, Blue Valley North senior Stephon Camp was driving through his old Kansas City neighborhood when the sober reality of his surroundings sunk in. The poverty, the violence, the destruction was apparent. It led Camp to a realization, and that realization led to action. 

“You could literally see how hard poverty had struck my city,” Camp, who now lives in Overland Park, said. “I had to stop asking myself ‘why isn’t anyone helping’ and had to be the one to step up.”

Update: Another meet, another record for spring covergirl Madison Lueger.

Marysville Advocate sportswriter Julie Perry reported earlier this week that the Centralia senior extended her school record in the javelin yet again, this time throwing 157-2 at Tuesday's meet at Nemaha Central. According to track historian Carol Swenson's list this puts Lueger in 12th place all-time in Kansas, just ahead of Paola's Elizabeth Pomatto who threw 156-11 last season.
