Ronnie Caldwell Memoriam

    Early on Thursday morning safety Ronnie Caldwell was shot on University Parkway. Nobody has ben arrested yet for the shooting but the Police department did say they have a person of interest. The game this Saturday has been canceled so the team may take their time to mourn the death of their teammate.  Ronnie was a Tyler Junior College transfer that had yet to play this year due to an injury. He started 10 out of the 11 games he appeared in and had a voice that could be heard all around the locker room, "well respected" by his teammates and coaches. 

    This week the university decided that the school would cancel the rest of the season. Many players on the team are upset about the decision. Quarterback Tyler Vander Waal stated " They didn't consider the players in this decision and failed us as athletes." in a lengthy post on social media.

The whole state of Tennessee was in danger 13 different tornadoes touched down after officials confirmed Sunday afternoon after the disaster. One of the estimated 13 tornados traveled nearly 43 miles from the Clarksville area in Montgomery County to Logan County .  Anyone in the Middle Tennessee area was in danger, one can only imagine the feelings these people had while hiding from a natural disaster waiting to happen.

          This past week two time MVP Shohei Ohtani signed the biggest contract in baseball history. The former Los Angeles Angels star moved down the street to the in-city rival Los Angeles Dodgers. He signed for 10 years $700 million, which is $300 million more than the 2nd highest paid player in the league, Mike Trout who signed for 12 years $426. The contract is absolutely insane, the fact that Ohtani has only been in the league for 3 years now and signed the biggest contract in history, it’s legendary.                                     Shohei’s contract was deferred which means that for the next 10 years while Ohtani is on contract he will be paid $2 million a year. From 2034-2043 Ohtani will be paid the rest of the $680 million left on his contract. The reason this is so important is because this allows the Dodgers to still be able to have c...

The Austin fire department was the first on the scene around 2 o'clock that afternoon. Chief David Wilson said a few minutes later the fire was " through the roof " and the house was engulfed in flames. More than 100 customers were affected by the power outage it caused throughout the neighborhood.
