• Sanger Boxing closes as coach search continues (midvalleytimes.com) — Sanger's city-run youth boxing club is currently closed while officials search for a new, fully certified coach who can pass background checks and lead the program's future growth. The club, long a point of pride for Sanger families, remains funded in the city budget, but staffing hurdles and past funding challenges have delayed reopening, leaving local kids without access to the popular training and mentorship program for now.
