2010 Golden Gloves, Crown Plaza Hotel, Bethel Park, PA, March 5 140lbs. Keegan Lapori (S.P.B.C.) vs. Pat Dugan (Uniontown Boxing) These two cadets put on a good show. Dugan took it to Lapori at the first bell,
landing about a half dozen punches to the face. Lapori received two 8-counts in the first round, and two more 8-counts in the second round. Lapori boxed with a lot of heart and never went down, but Referee John Santore waved it off after the fourth 8-count. Pat Dugan wins bye R.S.C second round.
Three Lakes Golf Course, Penn Hills, PA, February 27 112lbs. Matt Conway (S.P.B.C.) vs. Mike Richardson (Cleveland Boxing) Conway controlled most of the action during all three rounds, using his lateral movement scoring from the outside with long lefts and rights to the body and head. The Cleveland boy did score some, but Conway’s defense was too tough. Matt Conway wins the bout!
Ringgold High School will be a host site for the 2010 National Underclass Combine (NUC) April 23 -25. The NUC is designed to get football players early exposure to recruiting services and colleges to give them the best and earliest opportunity to gain a football scholarship. The NUC allows athletes to be exposed to the various combine events. The events include the 40 yard dash, shuttle run, vertical jump, broad jump, and bench press test. Eighth Graders, Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors all compete in class based competition to find out who the best players are in the USA. All results will be sent out to every college in the country all levels including DI, DI-AA, DII, DIII, and NAIA. The NUC will also be covered by every major recruiting service including rivals.com, ESPNU, ESPN Rise, and Scout.com. Athletes are given a free Combine Performance T-Shirt and a chance to be chosen for the Ultimate 100 Regional Camps. The NUC will also develop a Top 100 List for each region and rank a National U100 list. U100 Top Prospect Camp will choose the invites from the U100 Regional Camps. Over the past two years 50% of the athletes chosen for the Ultimate 100 camp have been offered D-1 Scholarships. Call the Ringgold Athletic Department for more details – (724) 258-2208.
