He uses a special racing chair and pulls up the school s best times in the 3000, although under Oregon School Activities Association guidelines Kacey can t score because of the racing chair. However, he is philosophical about such awkward times. For example, last year during a wrestling match, a frustrated opponent yelled to his coach,  How do I wrestle this freak? The remark generated penalty points, and the wrestler s coach immediately pulled him from the match.<br> That s the only kid that had that bad of an attitude, says Kacey.  Instead of shutting up and figuring out how to wrestle me, the kid just said something stupid. He just showed very poor sportsmanship.<br> I ve heard that a lot of kids are kind of scared of me at first. I understand---I m a little careful around the handicapped too, a little reluctant. It s a normal reaction to something different, until you get to understand it better. <br><br>Inspiring Others<br><br>Kacey has plenty of other activities besides sports. He sings in the school choir, is active in the Boy Scouts and is proving himself to be quite the actor as well. Last year he played the minor part of Montague in the school s production of Romeo and Juliet. This year, however, he plays the pivotal role of Puck in A Midsummer Night s Dream, another Shakespeare classic.<br>He also visits nearby elementary school to talk about his disability and his accomplishments. It s a great way to educate and acquaint people with the fact that  disabled doesn t mean  unable. It s always uplifting to see people awed by Kacey s accomplishments and deciding to raise their own levels of achievements.  I ll probably always give the inspirational talks; my story lifts people s spirits, and I enjoy that. <br>Kacey plans to stick with wrestling through high school, maybe even college. He says he ll be looking into the Special Olympics programs and getting more involved in racing. Finishing last year with a 3.66 GPA, Kacey is academically able to have a choice in colleges, but first he plans on doing a two-year mission for his church after high school. He still has plenty of time to decide on a vocation, but one thing he s certain of is that he wants to someday have a family of his own.<br>Kacey is strong in spirit as well as body. Coach Olliff recalls one time when the team was preparing to get on the bus for a match.  I put Kacey s wheelchair onto the bus, and there was about 20 feet of wet pavement between the curb and the bus. I asked him if he wanted me to pick him up and put him on the bus. He just looked at me like,  What am I, a baby?  <br> Kacey expects to succeed in life$?*/l N66=JZ8IqGF_L.^5+FF[Өf?.Arl,7֟oq.|weyGZ'e߄>?.ڦL HWQc) }2Ѽ& # @:ݧ$8x >\!y.UpQGy̐Iܿb~Gjzy4KRB9 2 oQUVlo|:y&CiF[;e&j>)*߻dfb (G+kMZ~)aLFd͋\i,W|U9_a F$`B?̨w^[զ+ծk *97I;?ۗ%4RJ ;KKvW +)q~һI";/SlE*1s֣ޏ1ݹꝚFl!>($>GܔHlZzX4}D&K5I!#xuEuLG{0.~n7>vrĿ]Zܧ?ܹVo|ˣy 4b=^O4_kπCdl ^Eu --T'/o 6֙%h&u].q/UփCf|Rv)=[[ȃ4ggU䮌?lQksj#[zM PPxp??`ͮMwj7:VY2Kĉ`ƪA8zcgy|?Yf"kl)O$\i":r Au\qb7u #oUxL$FҦ楩iM1( O,ܿ{*b8cXcADQ ئlUדMkm8҈_*|eD/fb+/-ͥ/l˜lJä/kpﱭH` n.0}~1SʝxSɆ}k@!ǰ2(߀ccבke-kx) Qث)-H#m! _$7de 0{..!=Rʡ{Z+m[Go$MnbBd2 >]7JgXѵN>?oM~Tml?rACu1my4r-ɔ2 [lrЕðk'v5lVKDSI!JvF\ܶYkWВGɦơQE+uENj:/Ȟ2$Tb[ޡ&C~ߊFvҹfn6kƮvway.hr5 -׫jW# Z4ݐ[. ʻG(*7r~ʰ&5mi8yr LTOkUi\eUQ d6Id`mwcui?%kM ibE*2׏PISk_<+f$_P /dT8͉oZt OKӦ1stG5iטn[.7ډp[/oS,oƭFe_NƫI;,k1l-7R1Ubvc뫔6;Qycd;shİ45K/ \?
