The Wyoming and Kentwood area still has basketball teams playing in the state tournament this week, but due to MHSAA rules our Featured Game Coverage team’s high school sports winter season has ended. (Check WKTVjournal.org/sports for online/print updates, however.)

But our coverage truck and crew will not be idle — It’s Golden Gloves Boxing time!

WKTV has been covering the Golden Gloves Boxing Tournament for more than 25 years. Again this year, we will be at the Grand Rapids DeltaPlex Saturday, March 16, for the West Michigan Preliminaries, with replays of the bouts on our cable channels on Sunday, March 17, at noon, and Wednesday, March 20, at 5 p.m. We will continue coverage through the State Finals in April.

The Deltaplex Arena is located at 2500 Turner Ave NW, Grand Rapids.

The tentative coverage days/times and replay plan includes:

West Michigan Preliminaries, Saturday, March 16; airing Sunday, March 17, at noon, and Wednesday, March 20, at 5 p.m.

West Michigan Semi-Finals, Thursday, March 21; airing Saturday, March 23, at 11 a.m., and Wednesday, March 27, at 5 p.m.

West Michigan Finals, Saturday, March 30; airing Sunday, March 31, at noon, and Wednesday, April 3, at 5 p.m.

Catch all the action on WKTV Comcast Channel 25 and AT&T U-verse 99 with a tape delayed airing of each evening’s bouts on the following day. For future broadcast schedule, check out our on-air schedule.

All bouts will also be available on-demand at WKTVondemand.com , but not immediately after the event.
