Competitive range night ends in informal beef and a no contest

Nick's slightly higher score sparked the dispute while Corp Joe Esmenia nearly struck an opponent in the first heat of a three rounder. The melee, likened to a pier 39 slugfest, was ruled a no contest in the first round with Esmenia landing a solid left that opened a cut. Continued on page six.
