Softball
The Knoxville Cyclones hosted their second annual KTown
Klassic tournament on Oct. 13. One of the smallertourna-
ments in the southeast, it still featured some of the best teams
around the area in both C and D divisions, as well as a women's
division. The Louisville Derby City Devils stormed through the
weekend in the C division, winning almost all their games by at
least five runs, earning a trip to the finals against the Atlanta
Rampage, a team that struggled early in tourney, but were able
to find their mojo on the second day. The championship was
well played and mostly error-free. The Devils were able to over
come an early game deficit with a rally in the fifth inning and
maintained their advantage to the last out claiming the victory.
The D division was a good bit more exciting since it featured
the hometown team, the Cyclones, in a matchup against the
Columbus XXX in the last game of the tournament The crowd
was rowdy, excited and, yes, a little drunk, as they cheered on
their Knoxville team. Buoyed bythe fans'support and energy, the
Cyclones were able to come up with big play after big play and
came through victorious, led by pitcher Danny Turner, outfielder
Justin Maguire and second baseman Brad Hurst who all played
excellent defense all tqurnament long.

Marketplace
White Rabbit is located at 920 Central Avenue. We're actually the only store dedicated to
the LGBT community in the entire state of N.C. Dur product lines span from rainbow flags and stickers
to gift items and all-occasion cards to gay-themed books and DVDs to clothing and adult novelties and
more in between. Dne particular line we introduced this year to great success is high-end underwear and
swimwear for men. In fact, we are told that White Rabbit has one of the largest selections of men's designer
undenwear on the East Coast.
A remarkable change for White Rabbit this year—our 18th year of operation in the Queen City—is the creation of the
LGBT Community Art Mural that was painted on the exterior of the building this past summer. The striking wrap-around piece
—the brainchild of local artist Gil Croy—was a Plaza-Midwood landmark before it was even completed. Now, visitors to the
neighborhood are met with an unmissable image that cements the area's reputation for being a great place for LGBT people to live,
shop, eat and play.
As we move into the holiday season and beyond, White Rabbit will continue its campaign to expand product lines with new and unique
items that appeal to LGBT customers and straight allies looking for something different. Stop by and pick up some incense, check out our
rings and necklaces, or look for a new keychain. We'll see you soon...
