By Austin Smith
Boxing Coach
The Knott Street boxing
people were on our side when it
came to the many cheers sound
ing inside that Matt Dishman
Community Center.
The show had a very good
number of boxing fans, many
of them there to support their
favorite boxer(s).
We are mostly a small size
boxing team that represents the
Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs Nation called a reserva
tion; who knows, it just might
be a place where some thing is
being reserved?
Back to boxing: All our ath
letes made their schedule
weights when weigh-in time pre
sented itself, and that's a good
factor for each boxer to have
in mind when in training one
self, always be ready and you
can enjoy the world when the
match is over and your guard is
let down.
Getting in boxing shape takes
a little mental control by one's
own person. Saturday night
brought out the heart in a few
of our team members, and sure
will power through to the third
round was a lesson for me again.
I need to condition my body
more. A prayer always helps me
to remember.
Buffalos struggle without Tewee
In Saturday's Bob McKenzie
Memorial Boys Basketball Tour
nament at Madras High School,
the Cowboys defeated Madras
62-56, winning the title.
Rory Priday, of Crook
County, who scored 23 points, -led
the feani to victory." The j
player hit six 3-point shots
against the White Buffalos.
The White Buffalos started
the fourth quarter with a basket
at a 44-42 lead but Priday
landed another three-pointer
bringing his team back into the
lead.
Joey Mc Connell, for the
White Buffalos, scored 22
points, had 5 rebounds, and 3
assists. Teammate Dominique
Easterling played a double

The results of the Nov. 30
boxing tournament, held at 77
N.E. Knott St., Pordand, are as
follows.
Wesley Graybael of the
Warm Springs team vs. Matt
Moffit of West Portland Box
ing Team: Matt had a year on
Wesley and it showed, as the bout
was stopped in the middle of
the first round.
Matt had one match prior to
this match with Graybael, who
had three matches going into this
bout. Sometimes we're both
wrong and a few words don't
help at all, but, what can some
one say other than that's how
men are made, win, lose or draw
and it'll never change, so we
must take it are learn how to
take it.
Louis Smith boxed next: It
was supposed to be some at 145
pounds, but he didn't show, so
another Tacoma boxer took his
place, but only at 150 pounds.
It was a good match.
Louis Smith vs. Jimmy
Donald: The bout went the com
plete three 3-minute rounds.
Louis had eight matches going
into the bout and Donald had
two. Louis scored a first-round
knock-down, happening when
his opponent turned his back
against the ropes to trade
punches, Louis landed a four or
bounds. Tim Kirsch had 10 re
bounds and scored 5 points.
The White Buffaloes two top
players are out for the season
due to injuries. Tribal member
and junior point guard Isaiah
Tewee, a major contributor to
the'-team last season, 'is 'out: 'wi'trt'
an injury described as anterior
cruciate ligament injury.
Also, possibly at the sidelines
for the season, is junior post Pat
Boyle. Boyle has a shoulder in
jury lingering from the football
season.
Madras (1-1 overall)' is
ranked fifth in the state in a
Class 3A preseason poll con
ducted by the Oregon Athletic
Coaches Association.
Some think the ratings were
generous, based on the

five punch combination with a
hard upper cut sending Jimmy
Donald to the canvas.
He was stunned but not to
wobble, and he pulled through
to the second round. Louis
slowed his pace near the end of
the second round, but I could
tell he had that round won even
though it was a close one.
Third and final round had the
ole Motown sound; I mean the
people had fun with their voices.
It was exciting. Louis, it's gonna
be close, you lost the last round
but you won the first one and I
think you won the second
round, let's see who gets it?
Louis won and fought hard
inside. .
Leander Smith of Warm
Springs vs. Logan Christen of
West Portland Boxing Club.
These two 75-pounders did just
that, they went for it, is what I'm
saying This was the second time
they went for it, but this time
Logan got the win and Leander
got the loss. Their next one? Who
knows? I know I don't want to
miss it.
Jasper Smith of Warm
Springs vs. Ricardo Salas of
Tacoma, Wash., Boxing Club.
106 pounds the scales said. Jas
per looked to be lighter than his
opponent; I guess he's just as
tough though because it showed
timewhen Tewee and Boyle were
still in for the season.
Last year the White Buffaloes
lost Jacoby Ellsbury, a first-team
all-stater who graduated with an
average of 20.4 points per
game.
But returnees for this season
still bring hope.
Dominique Easterling, a 6-1
junior post, averages 1 1.2 points
per game.
Other returnees Tim Kirsch,
John Adams, Lucas Conway,
Guy Reynolds, and Joey
McConnell have a chance to
bring the team up to par.
Other newcomers Kevin
Hernandez, a sophomore
guard, and Chris Madrigal, a
junior post, offer optimism to
the team.
RESORT & CASINO
Warm Springs. Oregon
December 12, 2002
when the bell rang.
After a couple good straight ;
right hands by Jasper, Salas de
cided to box. The Madras
middle schooler brought it to !
him at 106 pounds. A bit off ,
balance and not yet in his best j
shape, Jasper won his first :
match since the injury to his left ;
wrist has healed.
Knott Street had 15 bouts !
that night. The lightest were 70 j
pounds, and the heaviest were
270 pounds. Boxing is coming
back in the Northwest country.
I'd like to see us here at home
have a couple of boxing shows '
this year coming 2003.
Everything takes some ;
chores before it happens. Yet, it ;
can be done in a way that seems !
fun. Help is always the key. !
Warm Springs Boxing wants to
thank you the community for ;
letting us be a part of the live ;
entertainment that brings people :
out of their homes and into a
social gathering to say Hi! ,
Long-time no-see, and God ;
bless you all. Have a safe holi
day and let us do all the punch
ing. In the boxing ring of course.
Good luck to all you other
athletes. Train yourself every
day in whatever the sport might
be. Our gym hours are 4:30 to
7:30 p.m., Monday through Fri- ;
day, unless posted otherwise.
