A Time to Reflect (October Review)
October had a lot of notable sports events that took place. I thought that it would be a good idea to review some of them that took place. So, without further ado, let’s dive right in.
October held 1 major incident that took place close to home. Four high school cheerleaders recently died in a car crash here in the Knoxville area . Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of all 4 girls.
The last sad incident that I will mention is the fact that Alexei Cherepanov Passed Away. He did this during the third quarter of a game.
Major League Baseball closed out their season.
Nation Basketball Association had their first tip off of the young season.
The Nation Hockey League took the ice.
The Nation Football League got into the full swing of their games.
The Tennessee Titans emerge as the only undefeated NFL team.
The Texas Longhorns emerge as number one in the AP and USA Today Polls.
College Football has seen the number 1 rank change hands only 1 time. Oklahoma Sooners came into the month there and Texas Longhorns leave as the number 1 team in the nation.
Last notable incident, but definitely not the least, is the new World Champions being crowned as the Philadelphia Phillies win their second WSC in 126 years.
