NEWSLETTER & CALENDAR CALENDAR YEAR 2016 Issue # 04.15.2016 In the eleven years I've been in Georgia I have been to many regionals and nationals as an individual team and with team Georgia. I have never experienced the great spirit of unity that I experienced in Knoxville, TN at the Men’s Golden Gloves regionals. I would like to thank all of the Georgia boxers, coaches, officials and staff for the spirit of unity that helped to make our trip to TN a success. I have to give a very special thanks to Coach Mike Montgomery for being the catalyst that unified us and continued to make our unity stronger. I hope that this unity will continue to grow stronger and stronger. Yusef Shabazz GABA President First, I'd like to congratulate all of our boxers who boxed in the 2016 Men’s Southern Regional Golden Gloves. All of you went to Tennessee and represented!
