Lorain boxers seek Cleveland Plain Dealer titles in PeeDee tourney
Three Lorain Golden Gloves fighters, two reigning Steel City midfest champions, enter the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s 24th annual PeeDee tournament. Roger Dickerson of Elyria, 160-pound Open champ, defeated Edward Paige and Joe Bailey in Lorain and is favored to contend in Cleveland. Jesse Rodriguez of Bellevue, another Lorain Open winner, has yet to fight as he awaits dates. Nieve and Haynes also feature in the Novice and Open divisions, with Haynes moving up to Open and advancing toward the semis. Local officials express cautious optimism about Dickerson and Rodriguez in a tough field, noting previous Lorain success in 1949 by Don Fulton as the last local title.

Elyria Catholic Boosters Honor Gridders At Dinner
Elyria Catholic Booster club honored the grid team at a dinner as Brownhelm sits tied for the Western Division crown with Brighton, pending Friday night results against Belden. The Lorain County League, dating to 1948-49, has rarely produced co champions in either division with past ties noted in 1943-49 and 1948-51 in the East and West divisions respectively. The Brighton Belden matchup looms as a likely deciding game after their January 15 clash at Brighton ended with a two point Brighton win.
