Did DC win the team title?? With 2 champs, it looks they may have.
DC team was 2nd behind Florida. Detroit was 3rd.
Hey Gary,
Wasnt Derrick Holmes National Golden Gloves champion too? Because back in the days, many people considered him to be better than Ray Leonard.
Not according to the list I received from the local Golden Gloves office.
