HOT PROSPECTS TO WATCH!

SPRING / SUMMER 2009

TRISTAN CLAY HAMILTON

Tristan began his amateur boxing program in March of 2009 and has made remarkable progress.  The 13-year old 6th grade student at Newton Elementary is one of the more dedicated youth boxers that Newton Gym & Boxing Club has had the pleasure to work with.

He is a converted southpaw and has made the transition well.  Tristan's natural powerful left hand can rack up points or quickly disable his opponent when used in combination with body and head shots. 

Lacking fear and embracing confidence, Tristan will soon be making his appearance in the Gulf and Southern Regions of USA Boxing.  Without a doubt, this young man will use his self-discipline, emerging skills and endurance to represent our Club in the next several months.

SAVANAH TYSON

Savanah Tyson, or "Skeeter" as we call her, is an 12 year old 6th grade student at Newton Middle School.  She rarely misses a practice and her work ethics are a benchmark for other youth athletes at the Club.

Weighing in at 112 pounds, her hand speed, exceptional practice habits and ability to listen to and apply instruction from her coaches will enable her to rise quickly in the sport. 

She prepared with outstanding dedication for the Southeast Texas Golden Gloves Championship Tournament held in Houston and was awarded the gold medal in her weight and age bracket.

Savanah had her next competition in Crowley, Louisiana on March 14th in the Louisiana vs. Texas Championship Series.  Her hand speed, conditioning and desire to win totally overwhelmed her opponent in the first round of the Series.  Unfortunately, Skeeter twisted her knee near the end of the round and was unable to continue.  She had no lasting knee damage and has been working hard at the Gym in preparation for her next bout.  Watch this girl because she's determined to be a champion!
