CADILLAC â For many teenagers (and adults, for that matter), there are few things quite as satisfying as destroying a wall with a sledgehammer, although usually such an activity is met with some manner of harsh rebuke.
For the kids in the Never Down For The Count boxing club, it s a necessary activity, and one they ll be doing repeatedly over the course of 2021.
Coach Dana Wilson said the kids so far have disassembled about 10% of a decommissioned charter school in Hart that they were given as a source of raw materials for their proposed youth center in Cadillac.
Wilson runs the boxing gym in Cadillac for at-risk youth and has been attempting to get the youth center off the ground for several years. He purchased an empty factory on River Street and had plans to turn the facility into the youth center, although raising money toward the project has been an ongoing challenge.
