The Knoxville High School wrestling team announced that it would not be participating in a meet at Roland-Story High School Saturday. Instead, Knoxville will be going to wrestle in the Iowa City Regina Invitational at Iowa City Regina High School.

The decision comes amid a controversy surrounding a Roland-Story wrestler. The school’s handling of Kade Blume has been scrutinized by some. Recently, a school board member resigned citing a lack of punishment for Blume.

Knoxville High School Athletic Director, Ryan Paulsen, made the decision to take Knoxville out of the meet at Roland-Story last night.

Story County investigators say that earlier this year, Blume stripped the clothes off of the victim. He then allegedly assaulted the individual with a pencil.

Blume pleaded guilty in juvenile court to assault.
