KNIGHT MOVES | Cool November Reign

By Craig Knight

It’s November! The air is crisp, the coffee’s warmer, and gratitude fills the air. This month is always about reflection and momentum. While October gave us a rare milestone — 2025 marking a full quarter of the way through this new century — November invites us to channel that same sense of possibility into action. 

Whether you’re wrapping up projects before year’s-end, prepping for the holidays, or just embracing hoodie-and-sweater weather, this is a powerful time to align your intentions with the future you want to create. 

Across the globe, the seasons remind us of balance. In the Northern Hemisphere, autumn is in full bloom — leaves falling, colors fading, and life gently urging us to let go. Down south, spring begins to blossom, whispering renewal. Wherever you are, November embodies release and rebirth. 

And in the world of sports, it’s peak season! 

Our UNLV Rebels continue their bowl-bound run with grit and pride. On Sundays, the Las Vegas Raiders are fighting through every down as the NFL season heats up. Meanwhile, the Vegas Golden Knights glide into another NHL season, defending their championship pedigree with power and precision. 

And let’s hear it for the Las Vegas Aces, who delivered yet another stunning performance, securing their third championship in four years! A’ja Wilson continues to redefine greatness, collecting her fourth MVP, third Defensive Player of the Year, second Finals MVP, and a scoring title — a résumé for the ages. She’s not just the face of the WNBA—she’s the movement. As far as I’m concerned, A’ja is our era’s Michael Jordan of women’s basketball. Bam!
