Temple senior Brittany Rogers will make history tonight at the Pennsylvania National Guard Armory in Northeast Philadelphia when she becomes the youngest female boxing promoter in the country. "I got interested in it because my father was an amateur fighter, and it was just always in my bloodline. The fights were always on at my house." Rogers, who majors in sports and recreational management, said school has helped her a lot. Her big assignment this semester is to create a marketing plan for her company, Bam Boxing Promotions. Temple professor Joris Drayer said he wishes more students had Rogers' motivation and courage.
