This December the Aquinas Boxing team
began its 84th season. The
team has an extensive history to honor and a hopeful future to look forward to.
To uphold tradition, the annual Mission Bouts will be held on March 4,
2016. Until then boxers have a
great deal of work to do in preparation for the bouts. Besides running, lots of pushups, and practicing
their boxing technique, boxers will also continue the tradition of the Quote
book. This book is shared day to day between boxers, and one quote is read
every night at the end of practice.
Coach Dom Arioli emphasizes that boxing should not only train your body,
but also your mind and spirit.
The boxing team has an exciting season in
store, and they hope you will be a part of it!
A pancake breakfast and basket raffle fundraiser will be held at
Applebee’s on Monroe Avenue January 17.
The baskets have exciting themes; some from last year were, “A night at
the Movies,” “Valentine’s Day,” and “A Trip to Seabreaze.” As the date approaches, tickets will be sold
by boxers and tickets may also be purchased at the
door. For more details, check the Aquinas calendar as the date approaches. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to
support the team’s biannual trip to Cincinnati where matches are held against
Arch Bishop Moeller. This year the
matches against Arch Bishop Moeller will be held at Aquinas on February 13,
2016.
Each year brings a renewed excitement on
the boxing team. The boxers hope you can
be a part of making this season even more successful than the many seasons of
the past.
