Post a Comment"The first fight is always with yourself". Too true! Excellent shots, and best of luck, Vaughn!
Vaughn's lucky in that he has terrific, supportive, hard-working parents. That's pretty unusual with some of the kids I've worked with. I do have paternal-like pride in this kid and with some of the others, too. Hey, tough adolescents keep my mind from going further into senile dementia. They can sure keep you awake; your eyes need to be wide open all the time. And your hands up...:)...
YOu sound like a proud daddy. Nice story!
Nice to see academics and atheletics in the same camp.
Ought to have one helluva reach against other 130 pounders.
6 feet and 130... get that boy a degree, sure, but then keep him in the ring for a few years!
I was going to ask about the medal...Your captions are very good. Wish him all the best from your AC pals!
