SPORTS JOURNAL. / 7 Unleashing DeAndre Hopkins With Andre Johnson gone and All-Pro running back Arian Foster continuously battling ailments, the Hous- ton Texans’ most deadliest weapon on offense is now DeAndre Hopkins. Draf- ted in the first round (27th overall) back in 2013, Hop- kins has displayed immen- se promise through two seasons with the Texans; especially in ’14, where he finished 12th in receiving yards (1,210 yards), ahead of names like A.J. Green, Calvin Johnson, and Rob Gronkowski. However, be- cause there’s uncertainty at the quarterback position, it will have a direct effect towards Hopkins’ produc- tion this season. There’s no doubt Hopkins has big play potential, but if the man throwing it to him — Brian Hoyer or Ryan Mallett — can’t get him the ball, whe- re’s the value? Nevertheless, expect Hopkins to trump his stats from last season, due to his consistent trend upwards. Houston, you got a winner. Photograph by Braden Shirley The Sports Journal Melting Ice Want to know why Cal- gary has turned up the heat? Look no further than this man: Sean Monahan. Se- lected 6th overall in 2013, Monahan, at the young age of 18, has been a mainstay in the Flames’ lineup since day one. Now 20, Monahan, who’s entering his third sea- son in Calgary, is looking to build off his team-leading 31 goals in 2014-15 and further establish himself as an elite player in the NHL. Helping guide Calgary to the playo- ffs after going five straight seasons without partaking in the show, Monahan has the ability to let the Fla- mes take the next step and march closer to hoisting the cup. While the vast majo- rity of viewers will zero-in on the Sidney Crosby’s and Alexander Ovechkin’s of the hockey world, Monahan will undoubtedly sneak under the radar and make some noise this season. Monahan is a star in the making. Fla- me on. Photograph by Tegan Barr The Sports Journal Shooting Stars Regardless of their re- sult, what an unbelievable turnaround for the Hous- ton Astros. Locked in as cellar-dwellers for what seems like a decade, the Astros, with their shining young prospects and their undying camaraderie, have managed to make themsel- ves relevant again. Owning the American League West, after high-spenders like the Seattle Mariners or the highly-touted Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were favored to dominate, Hous- ton, from out of nowhere, shook off all odds and found themselves in playoff con- tention. There will be doub- ters as to if Houston has the stones to push for a World Series title this fall, but with cornerstone players such as José Altuve, Carlos Correa, Dallas Keuchel and Geor- ge Springer, it’ll be hard to bet against them. One thing’s certain, those pla- yers, and every other one aged in their early 20’s, will be terrorizing the league for years. Start counting down, because we have lift off. Photograph by Dominick Walker The Sports Journal NYCFC’s Trinity Finally Produces The MLS’s newest team made big splashes this sea- son by signing Frank Lam- pard, David Villa, and An- drea Pirlo, but there have been issues when it comes to building chemistry be- tween the three of them. Frank Lampard has missed numerous games due to in- juries, which has hindered New York City FC’s ability to develop a strong founda- tion for the future. However, New York City FC’s 3-2 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on September 19, 2015 might be an indicator of exactly what this team’s future en- tails. The trifecta of Villa, Lampard, and Pirlo were at their best against San Jose. David Villa scored, while Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo created opportunities for their teammates throu- ghout the match.

Topics Leadership Sports Related About Dayton Moore Dayton Moore begins his 10th full season with the Kansas City Royals, being named Senior Vice President-Baseball Operations/General Manager on May 30, 2006. He officially assumed his duties, becoming the sixth general manager in franchise history, on June 8, 2006. From day one, the goal Moore set out to accomplish was bringing a World Championship back to Kansas City, a dream that was brought to fruition in 2015. The Royals bested the New York Mets in five games to win the franchise's first World Series championship in 30 years. The club became just the fourth since 2000 to reach the Fall Classic in back-to-back seasons after coming up just short of a title in 2014. The 2015 season was one for the ages as Kansas City stormed to its first American League Central crown, winning an A.L.-best 95 games, which was their highest total since 1980. The club became just the second in Major League history to improve its win total in six-straight seasons. Along the way, the Royals set records in attendance, drawing 2.7 million fans to their 81 home games; local television viewership, recording an MLB-best 12.3 household rating during the 2015 season; and All-Star selections, sending seven players to the Midsummer Classic in Cincinnati, including four position players who were named starters. For his part in the success during the 2015 season, Moore was named the Esurance MLB Award for the Best Executive.

For our veteran managers, it’s a walk down memory lane; for our newer friends, it’s evidence of the depth and strength of our league.
