March is college basketball's month du jour. As I type this sentence, millions across America are filling out their brackets in preparation for tomorrow morning's madness. So why are a political science/history double major, a graduate student, and a university facilities painter meeting in the dingy dungeon of a basement in the school's Recreational Sports Facility instead?
Each of them is an integral member of the Cal Boxing team, which is incidentally enough the oldest competitive amateur sport on campus. This weekend, the team will take a 25-minute drive across the Bay Bridge to San Francisco for the Western Regional Finals of the National Collegiate Boxing Association’s version of the “Big Dance.” And scratching beneath the surface, I found that their stories could be just as compelling as the professionals whom they seek to emulate.
