Baileysville Community Center, January 28, 2012

The students from Mingo Central took team honors as most of the students from Westside who signed up to box did not even bother to show up.  Westside had won the team honors the previous three years.  Michael Harless of Cyclone, WV, Concord Universidy and Dawg House Gym, captured the Super Heavyweight Championship of the Coalfields by a points victory over C. C. Morgan of Long Branch, WV.  Morgan took the bout on the evening of the event because Harless' opponent Sam Dowdy of Pikeville, KY did not show up.  T. J. "The Hitman" Hensley who attends East Community High in Sciotoville, OH scored a points decision ove Travis "Slammin" Salmons who attends Mingo Central High in a slubfest.  In another exciting match, J. D. Blankenship, who attends Westside High, captured a split points victory over Nathaniel Mounts who attends Mingo Central High.  The decision was loudly booed by the fans.  The complete results are shown below.

 

 

 

2011 Southern Coalfields Hooks for Books Boxing Championships, Williamson, WV April 8, 2011. 

The Williamson event produced some exciting boxing matches with two Hooks for Books Boxing Challenge Championship bouts with belts at stake.  Lloyd Heath Cline of Westside High won by RSC in the second round over team mate and school mate Josh Blankenship of Westside High for the West Virginia Middleweight Challenge Championship.  The main event pitted Nathaniel Mounts of Burch High against Nicholas Hunt of Riverside High for the West Virginia Lightweight Challenge Championship.  This bout was a slug fest from the opening bell to the final bell and was extremely close.  It ended in a 2 - 1 split decision with Hunt taking the points victory and the championship belt.  It lived up to its main event billing.  Following are the complete results of the competition.

 

 

The coalfields were treated to an exciting evening of Hooks for Books Boxing.   There was something for all boxing fans from the free swingers beginners with to experienced boxers with a more polished style. 129 pound Nathaniel Mounts of Gilbert High displayed strong punching power for his weight class in scoring a points victory over John Blankenship of Westside High.  Mounts scored three knockdowns on his way to the win making him one of the top contenders for the Lightweight Challenge Belt Chamionship.  Newcomer Vendell Williams of Riverview High displayed potential in his points victory over Charles Michael Hatfield of Gilbert High.  Dylan Newsome of Baileysville Middle School scored a quick victory with a first round stoppage over Brandon Mitchell of Gilbert High.  In a more experienced bout Heath Cline of Westside High scored a points win over Josh Blankenship of Westside in an outstanding boxing match.  These two boxers may be the best HFBB Middleweights in the state and they go to the same school and train in the same gym.  They will, in all likelihood, box again for the HFBB challenge belt championship.   All in all, Hooks for Books Boxing is excited about the potential displayed by several boxers.  Riverview High made a good showing with three wins and one loss in the school's first appearance in Hooks for Books Boxing.  We are extremely proud of all boxers that participated in the event.  We need a few gyms in the area to help the young men get in shape and sharpen their skills.  HFBB is willing to work with adults wanting to start boxing clubs in the Southern Coalfields.  If anyone is interested, please contact Gary Toney at 304-768-3614 or Benny Toler at 304-682-4032.  Following are the complete results of the competition.
