Herrin boxer eyes Golden Gloves title in St Louis
Herrin native Rex Piper, after failed pro football tries with the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Bears, turned to boxing nine months ago. With 14 wins and one loss, he aims at the Golden Gloves heavyweight title in Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis, then a possible national meet in Toledo. Piper trains at Piper's Gym in Herrin and balances running, wood chopping, gym work, and sparring with local teammates. He may need to relocate to St. Louis if he advances further.
