FLINT - A princess is supposed to grow up to become a queen.
But instead, Victoria Taylor, 9, was buried Thursday, one week after she was shot to death inside her Flint home.
Some 650 people of all ages, including classmates from Flint's Gundry Elementary School, packed United Missionary Baptist Church, 6440 N. Clio Road, for her funeral.
The girl, called "Princess" by her family and friends, was remembered for her sweetness, confidence and athletic ability.
Her pink-trimmed white casket, covered in a blanket of white carnations, pink roses and baby's breath, was flanked by more than two dozen floral arrangements, including one with her maroon and gold basketball T-shirt and another with a Detroit Pistons basketball.
"Today our princess is going home to be with our king," said Victoria's aunt, Monica Dulaney, tears streaming down her face.
Police believe Victoria was killed by a 10-year-old friend who was visiting her and brother David III in their Flint home. The shooting remains under investigation by the Flint Police Department.
Her death sparked a stunned outpouring of emotion, evidenced by her funeral, over another violent death of a young person in Flint.
A spunky girl with chiseled arms, Victoria was an honors student at Gundry, an accomplished wrestler who had won national championships and a skilled basketball player who used to challenge people with her signature phrase: "You want some of me?"
At least three different T-shirts memorialized her at the funeral, including one worn by her wrestling teammates, the Westwood Heights Battlecats, who huddled together near her casket during the service, said a prayer and shouted the "Battlecat Creed."

Nigeria: Esther Augustine, the Girl With Extra Guts
Daily Champion (Lagos)
September 1, 2006
Posted to the web September 1, 2006
She looks simple and plain, she could easily pass for a homey damsel who the male folks can intimidate at will, but Esther Augustine inside is made of steel and her simple carriage is deceptive to a would be assailant, because this girl can throw and spin any challenger.
Augustine amazingly combines two combat sports: wrestling and judo, which according to her are the twin vehicle with which she hopes to gain national and international acclaim within shortest possible time.
And to show her seriousness, Augustine daily gives herself a double measure of training and she says there is plenty of energy to go round."I know that the only way I can stay on top is train very hard and that is exactly what I do everyday, because wrestling and judo are very tough and competitive sport it is not easy mixing them together," she said.
And her constant training is paying off handsomely; during the last national sports festival tagged Gateway Games, Augustine dethroned Olympian Kate Ewa in the judo to win the gold.
Also recently at the African wrestling championship in South Africa, Augustine won silver for Nigeria, it was her debut international wrestling fight and she believed the gold eluded her because of inexperience."It was my first African experience and it was a bit scary, but I have to over come my fright and put in my best, but I guess I am used to it now."I was really pained by that loss, but that is what spurs me on; anytime I get beaten by my fellow competitor, I just go back into training and get myself prepared for the next fight and that was what happened when I met Ewa at the Sports festival, she had beaten me in competition, but I told myself that it was not going to be so in our next meeting."
At the last Sam Egwu wrestling championship in Abakaliki, Augustine easily won her bout and that has put her in a pole position to represent Nigeria at the World Championship in China later this month and she is excitedly looking forward to it."It will be first outing at the world level and I pray that God will enable us to make it to the championship and I pray that I will come back home with gold" Augustine enthused.
As always she had some remarks about sports administration in Nigeria and according to her the country has not been fair to sports men and women."There is so much talent in this country called Nigeria, but the way we athletes are being treated leaves much to be desired. I have an Egyptian judo friend I know how she lives, she has a personal car that takes her wherever she wants and I know that she is not better than me in the sport."If only we can get half the encouragement other athletes are getting in countries that are not even as wealthy as Nigeria, the sky would be our limit."What keeps us going is the love we have for the sport and our country, otherwise there have been offers from South Africa for me to come over, but I love my country, I believe that one day things will change for the better," she submitted.
Augustine said she is looking forward to the All Africa Games next year in Algiers, Algeria and she is quite determined to make it in either wrestling or judo."Either way I want to be at All Africa Games, if judo does not take me, wrestling will. So when I finish with the judo trials, I will go over to that of wrestling."If I have to be on both sides and then I would be banking on God to give me the strength to win medals at both ends," Augustine stated.
The Akwa Ibom-born wrestler who has her boyfriend as her role model said her greatest regret was the death of both parents at a very young age."I miss my mum particularly, if feel so all alone sometimes, but when I step on the mat I always put that behind me and get the job done.

Report on the FILA Cadet Women’s Tour to China
Kevin Black U.S. Team Coach
09/01/2006
This report was written by Kevin Black of Wisconsin, who served as the coach of the U.S. FILA Cadet Tour Team this summer
On August 3-12 I took a group of kids to Beijing, China for an exchange. Included in that group was our Womens FILA Cadet Team. They qualified for the trip at the Body Bar in Colorado Springs.
This was primarily an exchange, and we wrestled matches three nights.
The second night Tatiana Padilla of California (2x Junior National Champion) defeated the Chinese Junior National Champion in a great match. It looked like two Olympians wrestling, it was a great womens match. Tatiana scored a late takedown in the second period to win 1-1 and won the third period by defending the clinch of the Chinese wrestler. The third night she lost to their senior world team member. She was outmatched in strength. She now knows she needs to work in the weight room if she wants to compete at the world/Olympic level. It was a great experience for her to wrestle females of that level and stay close with them.
Samantha Lopez of California did great and she has a tremendous future. She works hard and is always looking to improve. She asked a lot of great questions and is a great student of the sport. She is very enjoyable to be around and very coachable.
I was the head coach, my wife Liz was the team leader and John McGovern and Wil Kelly were assistants. The tour also included 15 male wrestlers from across the United States. Other coaches included Tony Walters, Keith Eckert, Charles Shephard and Landon Lueck.
We traveled to the Great Wall of China at Badaling, the Ming Tombs, Forbidden City, Summer Palace and the old Beijing on the Hutong Tours. We went to factories were jade, silk and pearls were made. We also saw the site of many of the 2008 Olympic venues, including the enormous Olympic Stadium. A few of the girls have their sights set on returning to Beijing in 2008.
Training sessions were held at the Beijing Wrestling Club. Athletes live on campus and train in their sport year-round, earning point towards graduation from the academy. The wrestling room featured three full-size competition mats. The wrestling surface was approximately 135' x 50' and it was one mat (no seems). 20 climbing ropes hung from the high ceiling. It was a very impressive wrestling room.
Overall, I thought that the trip was a great experience for everyone. It gave us a chance to see how other cultures live and train. You learn a lot about your training needs as an individual athlete when you are put in an unfamiliar environment. You also begin to understand what your priorities are and need to be to become successful at a high level.
It is also nice that the athletes had a chance to see a part of the world that we do not learn or know much about here in the US. China is a country rich in history and it is great for kids to see while grow into mature adults.

Woody strikes gold, Medina wins bronze at Junior World Championships

08/31/2006
Nicole Woody (Odenton, Md./New York AC) won a gold medal at 44 kg/97 lbs in women’s freestyle wrestling Thursday night at the Junior World Championships in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
Woody swept Diana Piza of Ecuador 4-0, 3-2 in the championship bout.
"I felt like I was in control," Woody said. "I felt that I wrestled smart in all my matches, especially my finals match."
Woody rallied to beat Anastasia Koltun of Russia 0-3, 4-3, 5-3 in the quarterfinals before sweeping Eglys Siviva of Venezuela 2-1, 5-1 in the semifinals.
"It still hasn't hit me yet that I won," Woody said. "It was a lot of fun. I focused on each individual match and didn't look ahead to the next one."
American Jessica Medina (Pomona, Calif./Univ. of the Cumberlands) won a bronze medal at 51 kg/112.25 lbs. Medina downed Nanna H. Pedersen of Sweden 4-3, 1-0 to win the bronze.
"I am so excited about earning my first World medal," Medina said. "I felt like I left everything on the mat. I wrestled as hard as I could knowing that I wanted to win a medal and my desire helped me finish with the win."
Teammate Heather Martin (Wellington, Ohio/Univ. of the Cumberlands/NYAC) placed fifth at 67 kg/147.5 lbs. Martin won a silver medal at this event in 2005.
"It wasn't my best performance, but there were a lot of good matches," Martin said. "I've learned a lot for my next tournament. I should have wrestled smarter. I lost that (last) match, she didn't really win it."
U.S. coach Trevor Keifer credited his team's performance.
"It has been incredible to be part of both Nicole's first World title and Jessica's first World medal," Keifer said. "All three girls made us really proud."
At 59 kg/130 lbs., Deanna Rix (South Berwick, Maine/NYAC) did not make weight.

Hedin, Bernard win bronze medals in women’s freestyle at FILA Junior World Championships
Gary Abbott USA Wrestling
09/01/2006
Two U.S. women won bronze medals in freestyle wrestling at the Junior World Championships in Guatemala City, Guatemala on Friday, Sept. 1.
Winning bronze medals for the United States were Dany Hedin (Kailua, Hawaii/USOEC/New York AC) at 55 kg/121 lbs. and Ali Bernard (New Ulm, Minn./Univ. of Regina) at 72 kg/158.5 lbs.
It was a third career FILA Junior medal for Bernard, who was a FILA Junior World champion in both 2003 and 2005.
Bernard opened by pinning Scheherazad Bentorki of France in the second period. Bernard was defeated in the semifinals by Aline Silva of Brazil, getting pinned in the second period. Bernard’s next match was in the bronze-medal round, where she pinned Olga Dmukhovska of Ukraine.
It was the second straight year that Hedin has won a medal at the FILA Junior World Championships, after claiming a silver medal last year.
Hedin opened with two victories, defeating Mizuho Shibata of Japan, 0-1, 5-1, 3-1 and Andreea Simon of Romania, 2-1, 6-1. In the semifinals, Hedin was defeated by Alena Filipava of Belarus, 0-3, 0-2. This placed Hedin in a bronze-medal match, where she stopped Jillian Gallays of Canada by pin.
Two U.S. women wrestlers were defeated in the wrestleback rounds and placed ninth in their weight classes, Sadie Kaneda (Honolulu, Hawaii/USOEC) at 48 kg/105.5 lbs. and Jackie Cataline (Corona, Calif./Cataline’s Wildcat WC) at 63 kg/138.75 lbs.
Kaneda had a 1-2 record in the tournament. She opened with a 1-1, 2-4, 3-0 victory over Dany Cespedez of Peru. In her next match, she was pinned by Sofia Mattsson of Sweden. After Mattson qualified for the gold-medal match, Kaneda became eligible for the wrestle-back rounds. Kaneda was beaten in the next bout by Genevieve Haley of Canada, 2-5, 2-2.
Cataline went 0-2 in her two matches. She opened with a 1-2, 0-5 loss to Mio Nishimaki of Japan. After Nishimaki qualified for the gold-medal finals, Cataline was drawn back into the wrestleback rounds. She was defeated by Helena Allandi of Sweden, 1-6, 3-4 and eliminated from the tournament. Both of Cataline’s opponents have also had success on the Senior level.
The U.S. won four medals in the women’s freestyle tournament. On Thursday, Nicole Woody (Odenton, Md./New York AC) won a gold medal at 44 kg/97 lbs. and Jessica Medina (Pomona, Calif./Univ. of the Cumberlands) won a bronze medal at 51 kg/112.25 lbs.
