McGowan, a 1975 graduate of ffpP jRusk High School, was once a prime llvv ithlete. A standout football player, McGowan also was state runner-up, system as! national semifinalist and Golden Gloves regional winner. He was 90-4 n amateur bouts when he retired. When McGowan left the ring be hind him, he went to work, got mar ly haveei Iried, and started a family. He forgot boxing for more than a decade. Now McGowan is trying to work a boxing comeback into his busy Ischedule of family and professional obligations. He is a licensed morti cian and funeral director at Mercy Funeral Home and also works part time at Wal-Mart. But boxing is still [a big dream. In his pro career, McGowan has a [mark of 1-1 with another bout slated for March 5. AA tok “I l° st my sister last year and that ennerw really hurt. It bothered me for a long time after she died. I decided to go for it, just to find a way to do what I wanted to do,” he says of his return to the ring. “I see the thin line between life and death,” McGowan said. “I see it all the time here at the funeral home. I see people of all sizes and ages die, from little babies all the way jee a sebw it whei f ork oil he USd se facili presi we’ve y if.

Johnson said he is hoping that | Witte can nail down the closer’s role | out of the Aggie bullpen. Witte, who I was the starting second baseman last econd)®| season, has shown considerable pa tent is l! tience as the coaching staff moved him from position to position this J fall. f' se i Witte will play somewhere this spring, because his bat is just too ed const ; could? * broke il down the line. I know I may never be the champion of the world, but maybe I’ll get a good pay day. I reallyjust love the sport.” McGowan said that bis training and boxing is a good outlet for en ergy after spending time in a suit in the funeral home. Each morning, rain, sleet or shine, McGowan runs four miles down the highway near his home in Rusk, pounding at the pavement as he is thinking about pounding an oppo nent. “I run every day,” McGowan said. “Then I come back and do push ups, sit-ups and other work.” McGo wan also trains two nights a week at Joey’s Gym in Tyler. Gym owner Joey Costello says: “Ronnie had an excellent amateur career. I think he has a lot of poten tial, he might have waited too long to come back to the ring. But he’s de termined, he’s mature and he knows what he has to do. He enjoys the combat.” McGowan is trained by Tiny Range and Al McCord. He is a light heavyweight boxer at 175 pounds, standing 5-feet-11. “When I started boxing again, my wife wasn’t that crazy about it,” Mc Gowan said. “Neither was my mama. But they are behind me. They can see I am serious about it. I hope to get a fight close to home so people can come see me. I’m not nearly as quick as I used to be, but I still have good power.
