Warriors trade punches in championships
3/8/2010:
Several thousand hoarse voices raise the rafters of the old Halsey Field
House on a special night each year on the Annapolis campus of
the U.S. Naval Academy.
There's plenty of testosterone and warrior machismo in the air
as the midshipmen gather to watch their classmates battle it out
at the annual Brigade Boxing Championships. February's
fights marked the 69th time midshipmen faced each other in the
ring for the annual championships.

Unfinished business for Navy wrestler
3/3/2010:
To say Scott Steele has experienced a star-crossed college wrestling
career would be an understatement. The Naval Academy heavyweight
has accumulated a stellar 77-22 record and been ranked Top 10
nationally in two different seasons. The Towson native achieved
something few collegians ever have by being named as an
alternate to the United States Olympic team, an honor that
earned him a trip to Beijing for the 2008 Summer Games.
