Two local youth boxers from Defender’s Boxing Club each won a championship Saturday, Oct. 21, in Stuttgart, Arkansas for the Stuttgart Gloves Not Guns Boxing Club “Fight for the Cure.” The event was held at the Stuttgart Jr. High School Gymnasium.

Isaac Griffin returned to competition after being out of the boxing ring for over a year. Griffin faced a Stuttgart hometown boy in the 135-pound Youth Male Division. Griffin did not let ring rust stop him from winning upon his return. He used his height and long range to outwork his opponent from the outside, earning him a split-decision win as well as a nice championship belt.

Next up for the Polk County kids was the always fired up Jasmine Parker. She stepped up into the open division in the co-main event on the card as she faced the national ranked No. 7 female in the 110-pound Intermediate Female Division. Parker has worked extremely hard to make this step and the timing felt right.

These young ladies fought a good back-and-forth battle with neither backing down or giving in. Parker’s opponent was determined to show why she is nationally ranked and pushed Parker hard for three rounds.

However, Parker was even more determined to show she deserved to be there, dug her heels in and fought awe- somely. She listened to her corner and made the necessary adjustments to get the split-decision win, showing she is evolving in the ring. She also brought home a tournament championship belt. I, as a coach, am super proud of both of these young warriors.

Bearcats

continued from page 1 previous three games by a considerable difference in each. They were stepping on the gridiron with a 3-4 overall record this season. Their challengers were 5-3 overall.

The scoring began with a quick Mena field goal, but the Panthers followed soon after with a touchdown. Mena would briefly regain the lead 10-7 before Fouke scored once more, but Mena did block the Panthers’ extra point attempt.

At the end of the first half, the Bearcats were trailing 13-10.

The game had seen several false starts and offsides from each team, not to mention a couple of personal fouls, a few fumbles on Fouke’s side, once again just over a minute later. and a few wild snaps on Mena’s side.

Those two goals were quickly followed by a series of penalties against the Bearcats, but Mena didn’t appear to let it get them down as they dominated the remainder of the game. They led 23-13 at the end of the third quarter.

The second half started almost like a new game. Mena scored just over five minutes in. Then on an interception by No. 22 Kalib Cox, the Bearcats turned around and scored

The fourth quarter saw Mena scoring another touchdown at 11:52. After making the extra point, Fouke turned the ball over once more on a fumble. The Bearcats would recover at least one more Panther fumble before the night was over.

The game ended with the Bearcats winning their homecoming 37-13.

Mena (4-4) takes on Ashdown (35) Friday night, weather permitting.
