Spencer wins gold at U.S. National Boxing ChampionshipsCOLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Three Fort Hood based Soldiers won medals at the U.S. National Boxing Championships July 12-17. U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program boxer Spc. Jeffrey Spencer won a gold medal and teammates Sgt. John Franklin and Spc. Carrie Barry struck bronze. The Saturday night finals inside the ballroom of the Crown Plaza Hotel opened with a 10-count salute to the late George Steinbrenner for his support of the U.S. Olympic Committee and Team USA athletes. The mood quickly turned upbeat as Outkast’s “Hey Ya!” blared through the speakers, signaling that America’s best amateur boxers were ready to rumble.

Pro Golf Tip
Practice in the wind to cure hook or slice Practicing in a side wind will help you cure a hook or a slice. Practicing in a right-to-left wind will guard against a hook, while the opposite wind direction will help you fight a slice.

Are you ready for some football? NFL training camps underway now
Before diving back into the wide world of sports commentary, I’d be remiss if I didn’t say, “Thank you” to my stand-in last week, Darryl Leonard. Darryl recently joined the III Corps/Fort Hood Public Affairs Office as an audiovisual production specialist in our Broadcast Operations section. We’re both alumnus of the American Forces Network and sports fanatics to boot, so I knew he’d have a good column to share with our faithful reader. (Hope you enjoyed it, Mom.) When he’s not filling in for yours truly, catch Darryl’s broadcast work each week on the Commander’s Access Channel here at Fort Hood, the Pentagon Channel and KNCT-TV (PBS Killeen/Central Texas College) in “Fort Hood On Track.”
