A restriction of movement order remained in place at the Naval Academy, which meant all sports — varsity and club — were on pause.
It forced longtime boxing coach Jim McNally to postpone the finals for the second time during the spring semester. While the Brigade Boxing Championships are traditionally held the last Friday in February, that became unrealistic this year because of COVID protocols.
But when the Naval Academy leadership lifted the restriction of movement order on March 22, that prompted McNally to quickly reschedule the 80th annual Brigade Boxing Championships for tonight at Alumni Hall.
