Judging the season the Red Sox had overall, it’s hard to argue with Henry. First of all the Red Sox had the best record in Spring Training ball before the season started, Second, they went wire-to-wire the entire season staying in first place tand amassing 108 wins in the regular season; the most regular season wins in franchise history. If that isn’t enough evidence of their dominance, consider the teams they beat to get to the World Series.

The Sox dispatched a power loaded 100 win New York Yankee team 3-1 in the division series.

The Boston Red Sox win the 2018 World Series in dominant fashion. It only took 5 games for the Red Sox to vanquish the Los Angeles Dodgers giving the Dodgers their second straight World Series loss on their own field.

The Dodgers had a great season, however, they were no match for what baseball experts are calling the “best Red Sox team ever” in over their 100 year history! The principal owner of the Sox, John W. Henry, stated as much when

Shakeout Rocks VVC

By: Reyes Navarrete Reporter

It is well known that California is susceptible to earthquakes, and the High Desert sits on the San Andreas Fault line. Preparation for an earthquake is important. California as a whole has been preparing in the case of an earthquake.

This drill is called the California Shakeout, and it has been going on since 2008. Up and down California, schools and workplaces take part in the earthquake drill. Victor Valley College (VVC) participates in the California Shakeout, to

prepare students and staff in case of earthquake.

Thursday October 18 was the day planned to practice what to do in case of an earthquake. An alarm sounded off at 10:18 am throughout the

VVC campus. Everyone at school had to be evacuated to a safe area for the drill. Students in the ATC building, they had to evacuate outside into the parking lot. While everyone was calmly walking towards the exits, all computers on campus switched to an alert message explaining the emergency.

A mass text was sent to all students to further explain when the drill has started. Some students may feel that the drill is unnecessary, but knowing what to do in case of an emergency is good practice. Joe Simon, a student who took part in the exercise said, “It’s a bit inconvenient, but it’s better to be prepared if an earthquake were to happen.” VVC’s drill only took about half an hour, but some places could be practicing drills all day (according to the Shakeout website).

While most students waited patiently to for the drill to be completed, the

nursing students took part in a mock medical exercise in case of an emergency.

There are many myths about what to do in case of an earthquake such as standing under a door frame, but the Shakeout advises against this. The basic drill in case of an earthquake is to drop, cover, and hold on.

The first step is to drop under at table or desk. If there is no desk or table present, then drop to the ground and move close to an inside wall. The next step is to cover your head and neck with your hands to protect them. After, find something to hold on to, such as a table or other shelter.

Knowing VVC’s emergency protocol is important so students are ready for a major earthquake. The drill on the 18 is necessary to practice to reduce mass panic and confusion. It is intended to prepare students in the case of a big earthquake. According to the shakeout.org, there were 804,480 participants signed in with the organization in San Bernardino County alone.

VVC just wants its students and staff to understand what to do in case of an emergency.

Students who had to take part in the drill, hopefully they have an idea on what do during an earthquake. If you want to know more about preparing for earthquakes visit www.shakeout.org for more information.

Universities Seek Recruits By: Robert Ellison Reporter

Transferring can be a difficult undertaking for any student without the proper tools or information, Victor Valley College is looking to help with that by hosting a University Fair. Students had the opportunity to meet with representatives from over 15 Universities and get vital transfer information at the University Fair.

The Victor Valley College (VVC) Transfer/Career Center hosted the University Fair Monday, October 15th from 10:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. in front of and inside the Performing Arts Center (Building #54).

Representatives from UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, University of La Verne, Biola University, Fresno Pacific, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Merced were on hand to distribute brochures and answer student questions. The representatives were upbeat and knowledgeable when it came to their Universities and telling students the best track to take to successfully transfer to one of their colleges. Iona Nee, representative from UC Merced had Machete, from page 1…

Amanda Carrera, a resident of the community of Eagle Ranch stated, “It’s scary to think that our neighborhood has suddenly become this unsafe environment, it makes me nervous to walk around freely like I usually do”.

Security footage of a robbery that occurred in March at a local Food-4-Less in Victorville was used to link up the individual. In the footage it showed a African American male in his late teens early twenties along with two other people walking out and stealing a cart filled with food.

Will Hastings, a 30 year-old Chemical Engineering student gave his summation about the University Fair, “There are some excellent colleges here and the campus staff really sold their campuses, they really want you to attend. Every college I talked to was really enthusiastic about their schools, there even seemed to be a little competition for attention because of the way the tables were set up.”

The VVC University Fair brought together students and representatives from potential transfer colleges in an enjoyable environment. Students who have any questions about transferring to UC, CSU, or private and out-of-state universities could stand to benefit from attending the VVC University Fair.

Human Sex Trafficking, The New American Slavery!

By: Cierra Malone Reporter

The United Nations classifies human trafficking as, “The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons by improper means for an improper purpose including forced labor or sexual exploitation.” Human sex trafficking is a thriving, illegal market that increases its victim count every day. It’s an exploitation of people within and across the national border.

It devalues women of all ages and is a violation to our basic human rights. Trafficking human beings is not a recent phenomenon, especially for young women in the Inland Empire.

Suspects in search for victims have been known to use different tactics in order to reach success. One example that occurs throughout many local colleges and public areas, such as the two local malls, Ontario Mills and Victoria Gardens is catching the attention of others by questioning their beliefs and asking about “Mother God”. It is a ploy to get women to come to a

church service, where they are then being sold into sex trafficking.

Sex trafficking is a form of sexual slavery upon an individual who is forced to perform commercial sexual acts.

Commercial sex includes pornography and prostitution. It is one of the most profitable crimes today. The sales for human sex trafficking are revolving around a 32-billiondollar industry and has been ranked third after drugs and arms on the most profitable international and illegal operation.

Another example traffickers use, is a text message received from an unknown number stating, “Someone complimented you! See more on here!” It then provides 2 links, one for iOS, and one for Androids. Once the link is clicked on, access has been allowed to all your personal files, including locations.

The San Bernardino County Human Trafficking Task Force hosts courses for various law enforcement throughout the year. The latest was on April 16-18, 2018 where approximately 40 officers within

According to San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Press Release, it is, “designed to give investigators and street -level officers the knowledge and tools to actively recognize, investigate and successfully prosecute suspects in cases of Human Trafficking.”

There are numerous governmental and non-governmental organizations that help guide survivors onto the right path.

Organizations such as ERASE Child Trafficking attended this course and focused on eliminating child trafficking by applying a complete approach, from education and recovery to life reclamation.

According to the US State Department, over 800,000 individuals are trafficked across international borders each year. Of that total, 80% of them are female and half of them are minors. Approximately 80% of all human trafficking involves sexual exploitation and 19% involves forced labor. The average age for teens in the US is 12-14 years old. Only 20,000 cases of Human Trafficking have been reported annually in the US. California holds three of FBI’s thirteen highest child

sex trafficking areas nationwide: Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego.

On June 4, 2018, an arrest was made in San Bernardino of Victor Wilkins and Aaron Vaughn for an incident of pimping, pandering and human trafficking of a minor. In the San Bernardino Police Report it is said that, “over the past several days, the victim had been transported by her traffickers from Oakland to San Francisco, then to Los Angeles and San Bernardino.”

Wilkins and Vaughn have had prior arrest for Human Trafficking related charges.

Vaughn has served prior conviction for Human Trafficking of a minor. As the investigation continued, investigators believed there were more possible victims involved.

Human sex trafficking is one of the illegal industries, yet over the past few years this globalized market has managed to grow its number of victims to over 800,000 in a single year. Government and non-government programs are in place to assist survivors.

This industry is based off supply and demand. If we lower the demand the supply will cease to exist.

Bald is Beautiful By: Ashirae Wardrop Reporter

On September 21st, 2018, Netflix released a new movie titled, Nappily Ever A fter, based on a book written in 2000 by Trisha Thomas. Violet Jones, an African American woman played by Sanaa Lathan, has always been defined by her hair. The opening scene is a flashback to Atlanta 1993, and a young Violet is attending a party with her mother, Pauletta. Her mother is obsessed with keeping Violet’s hair perfect, according to what society thinks is “perfect”. At the party, a young boy dares Violet that he can hold his breath longer underwater, so she jumps into the pool, causing her mother to become hysterical. Her hair went from straight to poofy right away, and the kids started calling her a chia pet. Time progresses, and Violet is still fixated on having hair that is flawless.

After an incident with water, Violet goes to a salon to fix her hair. While at the salon, a mischievous little girl, Zoe, purposely gives the shampoo girl relaxer which causes Violet’s hair to fall out. This begins a series of different hairstyles, or “identities.”

The first stage is a weave which makes her lack sponta-

October 31, 2018 Page 8

neity. The second stage is a blonde A-line cut which makes her feel less afraid and take chances. The third stage is where Violet becomes bald.

After a late night bender, she cuts her hair off, and as she does, the audience feels her release this idea of having the “perfect” hair. She struggles with her decision, but Zoe’s dad, John, helps her embrace being a bald beauty. The fourth stage is new growth.

During this stage, Violet’s hair has slightly grown back, and she has also grown. The final stage is known as ‘nappily.’

This stage is where Violet truly accepts herself and understands that she is not her hair. Nappily Ever A fter was a fresh and untold story on how some women let their hair define them. In one scene, an older African American woman says that she has not been in a pool for over 50 years.

The amount of time and effort put into doing one’s hair can

be overwhelming. Lathan did an astounding job depicting this. As she went through each stage, she changed as well.

She tried to weave her way through life, but she realized she needed to be more carefree and try something different.

When that did not work, she cut through her pain and began to grow, slowly. Once Violet understood that her hair was not who she was, she learned to be happy. Lathan says, “Don’t ever let someone’s negative opinion of you become your reality.” This movie fully embraced the stereotypes and realities of what African American women go through for their hair. However, it also shows women that their hair does not represent who they are, and they can still have their fairy-tale endings.

Go watch Nappily Ever A fter and see how a woman who lost her identity, finds her “nappily ever after.”

A STAR IS BORN By: Julian Valenzuela Reporter

A classic love story with a modern spin, A Star is Born directed by and starring Bradley Cooper is the must-see movie of the year. A Star is Born brings audiences from different walks of life to join in on one of the most talked about romantic movies of the year. The movie follows successful blues-rock singer, Jackson Maine, after he finished an event in which he was drunk through it all. Maine stumbles into a gay bar on Drag Night after his concert.

Luck would have it that struggling singer, Ally, (played by Lady Gaga) performs the most unique and beautiful renditions of Edith Piaf’s La V ie En

Rose. Once the bar closes, Jack approaches Ally and their romance begins to flourish.

With the relationship blossoming, Ally opens up to Jack about her music in which she tells him that she usually does not sing her own music. This all changes when Jack brings Ally on stage to perform her song “Shallow” (one in which has reached Billboard’s Hot 100) during one of his concerts. The audience and fans fall in love with the duo and Ally’s rise to stardom unravels while touring with Jack. Ally is approached by Rez, a record producer that offers her a record deal. Once Ally is recording and focusing on her own career, Jack’s career starts to diminish within his alcoholism and hearing loss. The second

Photo Courtesy of Google

part of the movie focuses on the rise and failure of both careers in which the movie results in Jack’s suicide and Ally’s paying tribute to Jack by singing at his funeral, thus furthering her career.

The movie is a refreshing take on the old Hollywood idea of a seasoned artist helping a newcomer rise while they start to fade in the limelight. What is so unique about the 2018 remake of A Star Is Born is its ability to include parts within our society today.

The importance of mental health and addiction assistance is something that the movie sheds light on. Jack is instituted into a rehab for several months after making an extremely public mess during an award ceremony. Bringing in the idea of addiction and mental health sings loudly with today’s view on these matters and how essential it is to get help.

A Star Is Born also focuses on a contemporary view of the music industry. Ally’s manager “rebrands” her from a bluesy, country singer to a pop icon. The change is subtle with a new, bombshell red hair color. The problem is presented more when Ally and Jack get into an argument about her song “Why Did You Do That?” including a line that says “Why’d you come around me with an ass like that?”. The rebranding impacts the couple’s relationship but is the backbone to Ally’s success Cooper along with the help of award-winning singer and cast member, Lady Gaga, constructed a great album for the movie. A Star Is Born soundtrack highlights important parts of the movie including snippets titled “I’ll Wait For You- Dialogue” and “ Scene 98-Dialogue”. These parts are essential to the movie and give more significance to each song. Furthermore, the album includes a mix of classic country feel music and pop music, comparable to Gaga’s musical hits. The album debuted at the

Entertainment

number one spot of Billboard’s Top 200 Albums, making it Gaga’s fifth number one album according to Billboard.com.

The movie is worth the hype and time. Gaga and Cooper did a phenomenal job orchestrating a remake of the classic A Star Is Born. The movie encompasses the charm from its forerunners while include a modern twist. Gaga’s talent really shines as an actress (previously showcased in American Horror Story: Hotel) while Cooper’s raspy, singing voice was a shock to fans of the movie actor. The movie plot is one seen before, however it encircles a unique view of the music industry.

Only one Gaga and Cooper can imagine. In conclusion, I would give the movie a 4 out of 5 stars.

Spooky Desert Activities By: Jordan Lunasco Reporter

There are many different seasonal festivities in the High Desert. With Halloween coming at the end of October, these festivities include enjoying the atmosphere of a pumpkin patch, getting a good scare from a haunted house, or looking perfect for that costume party. The High Desert has all the answer for these festivities.

Seasonal Adventures Inc., the largest privately owned pumpkin retailer in the country, put up one of ten of their pumpkin patches in Hesperia, Califor-

nia. They offer a safe, fun, and family friendly experience. In addition to the pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, the lot had a bungee jump, inflatable jump houses and a petting zoo. According to the Seasonal Adventures website, the pumpkins were, “hand selected by local growers to provide the freshest and largest pumpkins to our customers.” A local Ventura county farm, GREAT PACIFIC PUMPKIN, supplied their pumpkins.

The All Lunatic Asylum in Apple Valley is owned by VVC professors Richard Cerreto and Christy Cerreto. This

For over 15 years, this attraction has provided haunting experiences. They created a replica of an old abandoned asylum.

Each one of the rooms tells a different story for all of the characters involved with the background story of the attraction. Every costume, piece of furniture, and background music fits into the 1850s1950s time period. They have over 50 people in their cast and crew; most of whom have been a part of the experience since the beginning.

This attraction is open every Friday and Saturday throughout the month of October. On Halloween weekend, they are open Friday through Wednesday. The Asylum is also open year-round for special holidays such as, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and every Friday the 13th. Co-Owner Christy Cerreto stated, “We are a fully permitted and licensed professional haunted maze. We work year round to constantly change and add on to the attraction, so its constantly growing and evolving!”

Party City located off of Amargosa Road is getting

well prepared for the Halloween season. They needed all the help they could get and hired 15-20 seasonal employees. The store sold everything for the Halloween season, including party supplies, decorations, costumes, accessories, and candy! Alicia Sandoval, a manager from Party City, stated, “My favorite thing about working during the Halloween season is the customer service experience.

It does get crazy hectic, but I love hearing costume ideas, and helping the customers turn their costumes into characters.”

For the 2018 Halloween season, they released many costumes including characters from Overwatch, Riverdale, Stranger Things, and The Incredibles. The High Desert has a wide array of festivities to take part in for the Halloween season.

From family fun at the local pumpkin patch, to facing your biggest fears at the haunted house, to shopping for the perfect costume at the Halloween store, there is something for everyone to do during the season. The 2018 Halloween season has come to an end. Even though the Halloween is coming to an end, there are still many autumn festivities to partake in.

Wrld’s Best Collab? Nah. By: Adam Capps News Editor

Earlier this year, Juice Wrld released his debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance.

The May 23 release has done well, landing two singles on the Billhoard Hot 100. Now, just months later, the rapper has returned with W rld on Drugs, a collaboration with Future.

Future is no stranger to collaborations, having previously worked with Drake on W hat a Time to Be Alive. This album isn’t anything new on that front. It’s typical Future throughout, and it’s Future that shines here. Given Future’s history of success, it’s likely that most listeners will check out this project for Future, and they probably won’t be disappointed. While most songs on the album feature Future and Juice Wrld, each artist has one solo track.

One highlight is Future’s solo track is “Afterlife,” and the same is true for Juice Wrld’s solo track, “Make It Back.” Both artists are enjoyable on their own, but the pair makes for an odd couple. Future has built a reputation as a party rapper, while Juice Wrld could be compared to artists like Lil Peep or XXXTentacion.

Despite the strange match, the collaboration somehow still works.

“Astronauts” is peak future, and it’s incredibly catchy. Juice Wrld handles the chorus

which may be the weakest part of the track, a common problem with the collaboration.

“Hop in that ‘Rari, I drive fast,” Juice Wrld raps. It’s nothing audiences haven’t heard before and doesn’t really speak to the rapper’s unique style. Fans of Juice Wrld may find themselves underwhelmed by the collaboration as it’s a large departure from his debut album lyrically and stylistically.

Wrld on Drugs does have some strong features. Young Thug, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj all make appearances, though two of these appearances are strictly Future. Oxy and Transformer are two standouts, and they follow a consistent pattern. Both tracks belong to Future. It’s almost as if these songs were not originally intended to be part of the project, but they’re much appreciated in what is otherwise

a relatively dull album.

There’s something here for fans of both artists, but they may be disappointed in Juice Wrld’s output. It’s unmistakable, this is a Future album.

Perhaps that’s why the collaboration is billed as Future & Juice Wrld. It may be worth a listen, but don’t expect anything too special. W rld on Drugs receives a 7 out of 10.

Life after Rick gRIMES

By Tracy Ochoa Editor-in-Chief

The Walking Dead has been a fans favorite ever since it’s first aired on October 31, 2010. The series quickly gained a massive following and has been growing ever since. However, since the deaths of many fan favorite characters such as, Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson), Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) , and Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz), the series has suffered a huge downfall on viewings. Season 9 premiered on October 7, 2018 and announced that main character Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) journey with the show would end.

Fans were distraught with the news and left many viewers asking, “Why?” Along with the lost of The W alking Dead most memorable character, the show also faces the lost of viewers.

Season 9 has been reported to have the lowest ratings since Season 1, according to www.variety.

Com, the show brought in, “ 6.1 million viewers, Season 9 premiere was also down approximately 50% in the key demo and

47% in total viewers compared to the Season 8 opener, which drew a 5.0 and 11.4 million viewers last year”. This could will be the aftermath of announcing Rick’s departure from the show. The lack of action the show has given is making the audience lose interest.

Season 8 finale finally showed Negan (Jeffrey

favorite members Glenn and Abraham.

With such low ratings, the future of The W alking Dead does not look promising. Without the main character it’s even wondered, “How long will the show survive?”

As the show says goodbye to Rick Grimes, the direction of the storyline are spread out among the

Dean Morgan) and Rick meet face to face in what seemed to be a wild rumble. However, the outcome shocked viewers as things played out more peaceful then gruesome.

As viewers develop a connection with the fictional characters they view from week to week and wanted to see justice be served to Negan. After all, he did brutally attack and kill dozens of people including the group’s two

remaining top characters.

The two original cast members from Season 1 Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) are still going strong and have a promising development as they both embrace leadership roles. There is no doubt that The W alking Dead could and will continue without Rick, but for how long? Going based off the comics, the remaining crew still have a journey

to face with the anticipation arrival of the Whisperers. According to screenrant.com, “The Whispers are a group of survivors who actually wear the skin of walkers that they've killed so they can go about their business without being harassed. They move freely among the dead, adopting the same sort of slow movements that walkers use to keep from attracting attention to themselves.

When they speak they speak in whispers, only loud enough to be heard but not loud enough to draw attention to themselves.”

The Whispers are said to be more dangerous than any other villains featured in The W alking Dead thus far.

Their arrival will bring terror to the communities and will shift the storyline around drastically since Rick will no longer be in the show. In the comics, the Whisperers mark their territory after Rick and his group crossed into it by killing several characters and placing their heads on pikes. It will be interesting to see how it will unfold without Mr. Grimes.

Boost Your Cancer Awareness By: Summer Robinson Reporter

The National Football League (NFL) fans have watched their favorite football teams play in pink during the month of October in support of breast cancer since 1999. It all started with a group of women from the sorority Zeta Tau Alpha. The sorority, located in northern Virginia, approached the Redskins about doing a breast cancer awareness event in October 1999.

In 2009, the American Cancer Society, the NFL and others decided through the NFL’s Crucial Catch campaign, they can expand on breast cancer to address multiple types of cancer according to the NFL website.

Crucial Catch recognizes 11 cancers by using different colored t-shirts including Colon (Navy), Breast (Pink), Cervical (Teal), Prostate (Blue), Pediatric (Gold), Liver (Emerald Green), Lung (White), Brain (Gray), Kidney (Orange), Pancreatic (Purple), and Melanoma (Black). The NFL produces Crucial Catch hats, jerseys and other apparel, however the NFL does not profit from the sale or auction of cancer awarenessidentified merchandise. To date, the NFL's Crucial Catch campaign has raised more than $18.5 million for the American Cancer Society, according to the NFL and American Cancer Society websites.

Money raised through Crucial Catch supports the American Cancer

Society’s Community Health Advocates implementing Nationwide Grants for Empowerment and Equity (CHANGE) program.

CHANGE promotes health equity and addresses cancer early detection disparities through community based cancer prevention programs. According to the NFL, the grants to health centers nationwide has contributed to 18,200 colorectal and cervical cancer screenings, 129 cancer diagnoses, 1,600 HPV vaccinations, and 191,700 breast cancer screenings. Over 32 health systems have been awarded $3.2 million in grant funding to address disparities in breast cancer mortality that exists among women of color. $3.2 million was awarded in grant funding to 32 health systems to address disparities in breast cancer mortality that exist among women of color. Likewise, the Michelle Leigh Tizzard Ribbon Game helps raise

proceeds for the American Cancer Society.

On October 28, 2018, the 5th annual Michelle Leigh Tizzard Ribbon Game will take place at Granite Hills High School.

Pregame is at 12pm and kickoff is at 1pm. The Ribbon Game is a local game in the High Desert that supports breast cancer awareness. Ben Tizzard, creator of the Ribbon game, stated, “Seeing how my family was affected by my mothers diagnosis, I decided to take this into my own hands

and hence the Ribbon Game was born.” Ben’s mother passed away at the age of 40.

Ben has his own team of players and his younger brother, Cody, has his. The brothers and their teams play against each other for the winning title. T-shirts and refreshments will be sold at the game and all proceeds are donated to breast cancer research. “This cause is huge in my life and I am so blessed to be able to have created a game that supports those who are fighting, those who have won the fight, or those who have passed away from it. To be able to represent my mother although she is no longer here is the biggest blessing a young man can ask for. I am forever thankful for this opportunity that I have been blessed with!”

Crucial Catch is an incredible way of funding research for the American Cancer Society. By expanding the awareness to multiple cancers, they can help provide screenings, and find cures to save lives.

One of the best ways of fighting cancer is by awareness and that is exactly what the NFL and American Cancer Society are doing through Crucial Catch.

Tis’ the NBA Season By: Reyes Navarete Reporter

The 2018-19 National Basketball Association (NBA) regular seasons is set to begin October 16. This season’s biggest change is Lebron James move to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers first game is Thursday, October 18 against the Portland Trail Blazers.

This will be James’s first regular season game with the new team.

Lebron Lames, an Ohio native, was first drafted by the Red Sox from page 1… champions and winning their 4th World Series in 15 years giving them 9 titles overall.

The Red Sox used the highest payroll in baseball and advanced analytics to sculpt a juggernaut of a team that doesn’t make many mistakes and capitalizes on all of its opponents. They are young, play great defense, and they hit the ball really well. Mookie Betts will likely be the AL regular season M.V.P. and Steve Pearce the career journeyman whom the Red Sox got from Toronto for minor league infielder Santiago Espi-

Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003. He would later get picked up by the Miami Heat in 2010. It was in 2014 that James switched back to his home team, the Cavaliers.

Once James was back on the Cavaliers, he helped pick up a championship win for the team during Continued

nal, a 10th round pick who signed for $50,000 became the M.V.P of the World Series by his two big hits in game 4 of the series, a game tying home run in the eighth inning, and a bases clearing double in the ninth leading them to victory, and then in game 5 he had two home runs in the game. Then there is David Price, there are some saying that he actually deserves the M.V.P award because of his dominant pitching performance in games 2 and 5 of the series along with his bullpen work in game 3, and the fact that he warmed up in game 4 with the intent to pitch, not to mention his 1.89

ERA in the 2018 World Series. What makes this remarkable is the fact that before this post season Price was 0-10 in 10 starts in the postseason having only four quality starts in his postseason career. Price was the last person anyone expected to be this good especially in the World Series, it’s a testament to how good this Red Sox team really is.

The only game the Dodgers won in the World Series, Game 3. Game 3 of the World Series was an 18 inning 7 hour and 20 minute marathon that not only lasted longer than the entirety of the 1939 World Series, but it set the record for the longest game in postseason history.

It set a postseason record for strikeouts recorded (34) and players used (46), and there was drama everywhere, from Nathan Eovaldi the scheduled game 4 starter coming out of the bullpen and pitching the final 97 pitches, 36 more than the starter Rick

Porcello, to the error by first baseman Ian Kinsler in the bottom of the 13th inning that allowed Max Muncy to score the tying run. It was because of that run, that Muncy got a chance five innings later to hit his game winning home run off of a determined Eovaldi who had been scoreless up until that point. All of these things almost overshadowed the electric performance given

by Walker Buehler, the Dodgers rookie, who became only the fourth pitcher in World Series history to throw seven innings and allow no more than two base runners possibly solidifying his status as the new Dodgers Ace coming into next season.

The 2018 World Series will be unforgettable for both the Dodgers and the Red Sox for completely different reasons.

It will be memorable for baseball fans worldwide, for the excitement, the dominance, and the records set.

The 2018 Red Sox may be the best team they have ever assembled and the rest of the baseball universe is now on notice because the new World Series champs are favored by Vegas odds to win again next year.

Hitting the Ice By: Jaide Cole Reporter

Hockey season is back and in full effect! The season has just started but fan favorites and underdogs are some in which fans should be watching out for. From coast to coast, this hockey season is one for the books.

Taking into account more than just wins and losses throughout this season.

Adam Gretz from NBC Sports gave his “Power Rankings”of who he thought would be the top 4 of the National Hockey league this season. Taking a look at his projected rankings and see how they measure up to the current rankings of the National Hockey League teams.

Gretz puts Tampa Bay lightning in the number one spot. He states, “they have to figure out how to become a figure out a way to go from being a consistently good team to a championship team.”

The Anaheim Ducks are dominating the Pacific Tis’ from page 13… the 2016 season.

The 2016 season ended with a close game between the Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors, which ended 93-89.

The 2016 season was the first and only Cavalier championship win. This year, James wrapped up his time with the Cavaliers with a loss to the Golden State Warriors in June.

Now, he has moved teams once again.

Both the Cavaliers and the

Division of the National Hockey League. With only six games played, they stand in the No. 1 spot of this division with 4-1 and 1 overtime ending. After losing to the San Jose Sharks in game four of the Western Conference playoffs in 2018, the Ducks are back with a vengeance and determined to secure that playoff spot once again.

Gretz places the Nashville

October 31, 2018 Page 14 division of the NHL with a 4-1 record. The Predators were able to make it to the second round of playoffs after beating the the Colorado Avalanche’s in the first round (4-2). Unfortunately they lost to the Winnipeg Jets in round two of the playoffs (4-3).

Gretz places the San Jose Sharks in the No. 3 spot. The Sharks have been consistently good throughout the past few years so it’s no surprise that they would be considered as Stanley Cup contenders.

predators in the No. 2 position. He states that “Their defense, at worst, are second best group in the NHL…” It should come to no surprise that the Nashville Predators are reigning over the central

Warriors have faced each other in the finals each year since 2015. The Cavaliers have one only once in 2016. The Warriors winning three times in 2018, 2017, and 2015. The Lakers on the other hand have one 5 championships since the 2000’s alone.

James’s move to the Lakers is interesting since he has helped his former team, the Cavaliers, get a championship win in 2016. James has helped all his teams get to the finals.

Both James and the Warriors

have been successful in the Atlantic division of the NHL. They’ve played a total of 6 games and they have a record of 5-1. They were able to finish in 3rd place of the Atlantic Division for the 2017-2018 season. They were have history, and now that he has moved to the Lakers; Los Angeles might be looking at a new Championship. The Lakers now have a new member on the team who has beat out the Golden State Warriors in previous years.

It is hard to predict which team is going to play each other in finals. Each team will be playing 82 games from October until April, as the regular season is scheduled.

The playoffs will continue from April to May, and May

unable to secure a second round spot in the playoffs when they lost to the Boston Bruins in the first round of playoffs (4-3).

Gretz places the Washington Capitals at the No. 4 spot, Gretz states, “That this was probably one of the “weaker” teams is also a testament to how consistently great and competitive they have been, because it was an obviously great team.”

An underdog from the 20172018 season has taken the lead in the Metropolitan division of the NHL. Finishing in sixth place out of 8 teams in their division last year, the Carolina Hurricanes are currently ranked number one in their division. Playing only 6 games this season, they currently hold a 4-1 record and 1 ending in overtime.

Upsets and uproars have already changed the way we see hockey this year. With much of the season left to play, all should join in the monumental 2018 season of the NHL. and June being the Finals. The season has only begun, but since James has decided to move, there is much speculation to how the season will end up. Given the record of the teams who have gone to the finals; James’ addition to the Lakers will definitely bring an interesting 2018-19 NBA season.

One Team, One Dream By: Jasmine Ramos Reporter

Cross country is not simply about the race. Cross country is all about what we do to prepare for the race. Oscar T. Lemus has been coaching the Victor Valley College Cross Country Team over three years and explains how passionate he is about it. Lemus is also very passionate about his healthy plant based diet because he’s trying to live the healthiest life possible. Lemus loves running, but when he's not out in the field he is teaching mathematics and learning about history. In his free time he loves to camp and explore nature.

Lemus explains how important it is for his athletes to stay committed, sacrifice time, and put more effort to succeed.

He has taught his athletes that winning is a state of mind. Practice doesn't necessarily make your actions perfect, but it makes them permanent.

The Victor Valley College Cross country team has seven meets this season. The team has two races against Division 1 and 2 universities.

The team starts training early June to get ready for the fall

season. This will allow the runners to see the next level of competition before they transfer from Victor Valley College.

On October 19th, the men's Cross country team will race in the conference championship one of the most important races they have this season.

When Castro doesn't feel like running he likes to listen to music before every race, it helps him stay focused another thing he likes to do is talk to people to keep his mind off the races. ‘‘My team makes

said. The cross country team has had plenty of struggles; they lost one of their top guys, so the team had to reevaluate their goals. Coach Lemus explains that losses are part of life and the beauty of cross country is it's a pure sport and only those that truly want it win. So losing, according to Lemus, is motivation to train non-stop like the teams that win year after year. Cross country requires such a commitment, conditioning, endurance, patience, and mental toughness, the Cross country team challenges themselves along the course.
