2003 National Junior Golden Gloves

Post by Dennis »

This is an old event I know. However, I just ran across a newspaper that I had called the Golden Gloves Impact from Summer/Fall 2003. It lists the Nat'l Jr. GG Champs. Some of the names should be very familiar to forum members.

Some of the champs whose name people should recognize:

Cadets:
106-Gary Russell, Jr.
114-Victor Valenzuela
125-Joseph Francisco
132-Ira McDowell
138-Peter Haro
145-Shawn Porter
154-Fernando Guerrero
165-Kenny Porter
176-Anthony Tettis
201-Ricardo Wallers

Intermediates:
80-Sammy DiPace
100-Gary Russell, III
125-Ray Serrano
178-Jordan Shimmell

Hal - were you coaching Fernando at that time? If so, we had crossed paths way back then. Kenny Porter and his two sons and I met around this time.

I can dig up the 2001 Nat'l Jr. GG info and I bet everyone would recognize a lot of those names too. My son Jordan won his first National title at that tourney in 2001 in Las Vegas. I remember seeing Charles Hatley at that tourney among others. I talked to Charles about that tourney during the World Golden Gloves tourney and he too remembered a lot about it.
