Dusty Harrison Named High School Athlete of the Week!

Can somebody remember the last time a pro athlete has been named the High School Athlete of the Week? Well, it happened this past week when "The Beltway Boricua" Dusty Harrison was named the NewsChannel 8 High School Athlete of the Week.

Harrison, who is a senior at Thomas Stone High School in Waldorf, MD carries a 3.0 average and plays on the basketball team. The team could have used Harrison on Saturday when Thomas Stone lost in the Maryland 3A State title game to Aquille Carr and Patterson High, but Harrison was otherwise occupied, winning his fourth pro bout at the Washington Convention Center.

What a good story. Big Ups to Buddy and Dusty. That's what staying away from the street and sticking to your craft will get you. Keep up the good work!

not sure who this gary riley is but i do know that GRileaux on youtube has been running his mouth for years. has never once said anything good about anyone. very disrespectful to everyone. i just checked out grileaux past comments and he does talk crap about everyone. however, i do not know if gary riley and grileaux is the same person. so give the guy a break until you know otherwise.

Tibbs said...

Hell yeah! It's the same person, I know him. He was knocking every damn fight sat at the DC Convention Center. White Boy who can't fight a lick. Several Jokers are wanting to speak with him now. His soft ass was over-heard talking shit about everyone. His name is def Gary Riley. Now everyone knows who leaves all them hatin comments about everyone if Boxing Along The Beltway.

Gary Riley said...

When I was 17 I was locked up an had to fight almost daily for things you probably take for granted. In boxing age does not determine quality of opponent, so you really don't have a point. My point is that if this guy is the main attraction, is the only dude whose name is on the $35 ticket I spent my hard earned money on, then his opponent should not be the worst male boxer at the show, someone who lost his last 11 fights by getting knocked out. We're you at the show, do you see how they promote this shit.

Gary Riley said...

I will start respecting this dud when I see him fight someone who is not a bum. I was thoroughly disappointed at the quality of opponents what were hand picked for the local D.C. boxers to fight. This promo company, Keystone, and everyone responsible for the match making, left a sour taste in my mouth by picking fighters who they were even ashamed to put their records on the bout sheet. Maybe all the locals guys are good. Maybe Dusty is good, but until he fights a REAL opponent we will not know.

This is Gary Riley, not the fraud and I stand behind this comment I made on youtube

I stand behind most of this comment as well, but it was altered. I didn't curse in my comment...

Gary Riley said...

Listen! I have not made any comments on youtube or anywhere else. Yes, that is my youtube account, but my ex is always doing stupid things like that. I did not say anything negative about any of our local boxers. She has pulled stunts like this before, but I have now changed my passcode and she can no longer do such things. I apologize to everyone involved.

And the real Gary Riley says....
Believe what you want, if I said it I stand behind it. Notice all my comments 'the real Gary Riley' are not posted under the name Gary Riley or grileaux on this page.

This is Gary Riley and I am a friend of Dusty Harrison's, we hang out at dupont Square together. I too have now made a name for myself. I will be on Keystone's next boxing card but I will fight a real man like Richard Simmons. I belong to a gang called the Check It's.
