C h a m p io n s h ip h e ld in
Vancouver, Washington on
December 12-13. Both Phillip
Solomon and Mark Stacona
won the championship in their
divisions.
Phillip Solomon took the
trophy in the 14-15 year-old,
125 lb. division with no contest.
There was no one in his division
to compete against him so he
won on a walk-through.
Sixteen year-old M ark
Stacona competed in the
special senior, 125 lb. division.
He defeated John Lee from the

In the first of the three

dropped because of the punch
and because he was trying to
get out of the way.
Ortez came back strong in
the second round but lost by
one point.
Smith feels that Ortez needs
to be a little more aggressive.
It was good, he says, to see
him in competition enabling
him to see what Ortez does.
There were some things “we
didn’t know,” Smith stated.
With this first competition of
the year “we found out a lot.”
There was only one difficulty

“ Som eone called up and
cancelled our team o u t.”
Fortunately Smith knew the
officials and was able fo
reinstate the Warm Springs
Boxing team. Despite that
initial setback, the Warm
Springs Boxing Club members
got the opportunity to compete
and the ex p erien ce was
valuable. Smith emphasized.
