After that match researched Kasey because I hadn't heard of him and found that he wrestled Johnathan Wicker from Sedro Woolley at the Mat Classic his senior year. I just searched for the article I read and I couldn't find it on-line but what I can best remember is that he was wrestling Wicker in the semi-finals and was leading 3-0 with about 30 seconds left. I don't remember what happened but evidently White broke his ankle during a scramble and they wouldn't let him continue. I think the article said he was begging to continue to see if he could just survive the last 30 seconds for the win but evidently they couldn't allow it with a fracture. I think he had to injury default down to 6th place with no further wrestling. Sad ending to a senior year.
He and my son both were involved with MMA after match at the Open and they competed in the same weight class but their paths never crossed again before moving on to other things. I have talked with Kasey a couple of times over the past 2 years at the novice tournament were my grandson wrestles. He has a son wrestling in that league.
This is all by memory so I hope I was accurate.
