And
looking for a green pasture,
he’s loving every minute of it.
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

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.

valuable to keep benched for long.
Despite opening the season on the
road, the Aggie home schedule looks
good enough to make any fan’s
mouth water.
A&M will host SWC foes Texas,
Baylor and Arkansas this season.
The Aggies will also face a tasty line
up of non-conference opponents
featuring Arizona, Washington and
Kansas State.
So cheer up, baseball is coming
back. And this season will again be
fun at “The Shack by the Track.”

of rain.
The Aggies won three singles
matches and the second doubles
match to force the third doubles
match. The matchup between
A&M and the Tigers, which
started at 8:30 a.m., was full of
rain delays, and at 4:30 the rain

4, 2-6, 6-4, to force the ninth
match.

his team’s overall performance in
the tournament against nationally
ranked teams.
“The team competed well and
kept a high level of play through
out the tourament,” Kent said.
“The team really showed its com
petitive spirit against Clemson.
They were determined to prove
they could match up against any
top team in nation.”
On Friday, the Aggies lost to
12th ranked Miami 5-2. Weaver
won the No. 2 match, defeating
Ernesto Lingen, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 and
