Hillbilly Takes First Major at Glass City
Nov 17, 2004, 12:01 PM

Charles "Hillbilly" Bryant went undefeated through a 96-player field to take the $8,000 title at the Glass City Open at the Clarion Westgate hotel in Toledo, Ohio, Nov. 10-14.

Bryant, for whom this is his first major pro title, beat Danny "Kid Delicious" Basavich in the final, 10-6, to take the prize. Other notable wins included bouts against Earl Strickland and Keith McCready in earlier rounds.

"That was my first big 'un!," said Bryant after winning the title. "It is the biggest moment of my life, it's everything I worked for. They say the first one is the hardest. I give my thanks to the good Lord."
