you everyone and great job ladies.
Vol Squiemphen,
captain
got the three round decision over
Austin. It was the second time these
two boxed. It was a very close match
this second time and left something
to look forward to. Both southpaws
and both wanting the win made an
exciting match for the championship
sub-novice title in the 132-pound
division.
The trip was good and we saw
other Native boxers from the North
west competing, Fort Hall has a
tough 141-pound female boxer to
mention; she boxed some gal until
the second or third and a towel flew
in to halt the match.
Our next trip will be to Burns
on April 14 to "The Showdown in
the High Desert." It will be at their
new casino starting at 7 p.m. Hope
you can make it - we'll be there.
