Former WWE Superstar Bobby Horne, better known to wrestling fans as Mo, has died at the age of 58. On Facebook, fellow WWE alum Leilani Kai broke the sad news.

“It breaks my heart to hear that Bobby Horne, better known to wrestling fans as Sir Mo of Men on a Mission, has passed away.
I first met Bobby when we were both traveling with the WWF in the mid-90s. He was always kind to me — always smiling, joking around, and treating everyone with respect. When you were new or didnâ€t quite fit in yet, Bobby had a way of making you feel welcome. That meant a lot back then, especially on those long road trips when being part of the locker room family mattered most. We also worked together many times later on the Carolina independent circuit, and he was just as genuine outside the spotlight as he was under it. He loved the business, loved the fans, and loved giving back. Bobby had that special kind of warmth that reminded you wrestling isnâ€t just about what happens in the ring — itâ€s about the people and memories that come with it. Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you for every laugh, every kind word, and every night we shared on the road. Youâ€ll be missed by all of us who knew you.â€

Kai had shared in October 2025 that Horne was in the ICU with multiple health issues. At the time, Horne was dealing with a blood infection as well as pneumonia. At the time, Kai asked fans to pray for Bobby and his wife Denise.

Horne is best known for his time as ‘Mo†of Men on a Mission, a rapping babyface group that arrived in the early 1990s. In 1994, Mo and Mabel captured the WWF Tag Team Championships during a tour of the UK, though lost the titles days later. In 1995, Mo became ‘Sir Mo†after Mabel won that yearâ€s King of the Ring tournament.

We here at SEScoops would like to share our condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Bobby ‘Mo’ Horne at this sad time.

Although he spoke of trying a new tactic, the surge Habtom Samuel (2276) made from a mile out was not too different from his winning move with 2K left on this course at the â€24 Pre-Nats. (PAUL MERCA)

VERONA, WISCONSIN, October 17 — Habtom Samuelâ€s 2025 cross country season debut at the Nuttycombe Invitational is hardly the beginning of a “redemption tour†for the 21-year-old Eritrean. Heâ€s won an NCAA track championship and oodles of other titles while running for New Mexico.

But two NCAA runner-up finishes can make you a bit hungrier, and Samuel showed heâ€s ready for a big race six weeks hence in Missouri with a convincing win in 22:58 over the 8K Zimmer course layout. It marked the second time he had won a race here, with the 2024 Pre-Nats (22:33.8) also in his victory column.

When Samuel made his move here in the final mile, he turned on the afterburners and the race was effectively over as he built a solid 50m lead, winning by 7 seconds over Washington Stateâ€s Solomon Kipchoge (23:05.6).

His win also set up New Mexicoâ€s first Nutty team title as the third-ranked Lobos scored 51 points to best No. 5 Colorado (150) by 99 points. New Mexico packed just as Coach Darren Gauson had wanted, with five runners in the top 22.

No. 11 Syracuse was 3rd (152), No. 13 Northern Arizona 4th (203), and No. 6 BYU 5th (218). Washington State, Michigan State, Butler, Wisconsin and Notre Dame — all ranked — rounded out the top 10 in the 32-team field.

“Obviously, we ran really well,†said Gauson. “A team victory, thatâ€s what our goal was. I wanted Habtom to stretch out a little bit, and he said, ‘Iâ€m going to go a little bit earlier than normal.†He did that. Our main goal was just packing up as much as we could. We had six guys right there. That was a key thing for us.â€

Adhering to Gausonâ€s “packing†plan, New Mexico did just that, with Collins Kiprotich in 6th, Evans Kiplagat in 9th, Vincent Chirchir in 13th and Mathew Kosgei in 22nd filling out its five scorers. Its top men held firm over the final 2K as Colorado finished strong, as has so often been the Buffaloes†MO over the years.

“We still have a long way to go,†Gauson said in pointing to the likes of Colorado, Oklahoma State and top-ranked Iowa State (which ran a “B†team here and rested its top 5). “This was our first opportunity — really, our last opportunity — to see where we are against multiple teams on the top national level.â€

Colorado was up 92–94 on New Mexico at 2K, while Samuel and Coloradoâ€s Dominic Serem had a couple meters on the lead pack, but no one was wont to break away. Approaching 4K, Samuel was co-leading, with Serem, BYUâ€s Davin Thompson & Tayvon Kitchen and Tulaneâ€s Bernard Cheruiyot all oh-so-close as they passed in 11:39.

By 4K, New Mexico had 5 in the top 20 and was sitting pretty at 45 points to 113 for Colorado, 170 for BYU. 172 for NAU and 202 for Eastern Kentucky. There was a lead pack of 16 at the 5K mark and Cheruiyot moved briefly into the lead in the next 200m. Then the eventual top 4 — Samuel, Washington Stateâ€s Solomon Kipchoge, Cheruiyot and Serem — put some distance between themselves and the rest of the field.

“I was testing myself, trying something different,†said Samuel who finished runner-up to champion Graham Blanks by 3 seconds in the â€23 Nationals and then 1.7 behind Blanks in last fallâ€s championships. “I tried to go more from the beginning but these guys covered [my move]. So, it was pretty good. The weather was good today, just a little windy. With a mile to go, I said, ‘I can handle this one.â€â€

And he clearly did.

How pumped is Samuel for the NCAA after taking 2nd each of the last two years?

“Iâ€m really motivated,†he said. “I really want to get this one no matter what.â€

Frosh Kelvin Cheruiyotâ€s training mates in Kenya included Oklahoma Stateâ€s Denis Kipngetich and Brian Musau but the Pre-Nats winner is an XC contender kitted in Gator colors. (SHAWN PRICE)

COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, October 17 — With thunderstorms a strong possibility for Saturday, organizers moved the Pre-Nationals race to Friday, and the No. 2-ranked Oklahoma State men opted to race at home instead. That left the door open for unranked Georgia to steal the win from No. 19 Missouri and No. 24 Mississippi under sunny skies on the Gans Creek XC Course.

With three in the top 20 led by 9th-place Ryan Olreeâ€s 23:21.5, the Bulldogs totaled 119 points to convincingly better the host schoolâ€s 164 and Ole Missâ€s 178. No. 22-ranked Arkansas, not running its best, finished 8th with 270 points.

More telling than the team race was an individual battle among several athletes who may loom large on the nationals stage. Razorbacks Brian Masai and Timothy Chesondin pushed the pace early, but as Chesondin led past 5K in 14:09.7, Florida frosh Kelvin Cheruiyot moved into striking range, as did Wichita Stateâ€s Elkana Kipruto, the three breaking away from the main pack.

The strongest kick belonged to Cheruiyot, a 13:47.7 performer on the track (at altitude). He put away Kipruto on the final stretch as Chesondin lost ground to both. The Kenyan frosh clocked 22:44.6, more than 17 seconds faster than his collegiate debut in placing 16th on the same course last month. Kipruto ran 22:45.6 and Chesondin 22:49.7. Nearly 20 seconds back was 4th-placer Kidus Misgina of Mississippi in 23:08.8. Masai finished 6th in 23:11.6.

Put aside, for a moment, anxiety around the A-Leagues†next broadcast deal. Shelve calculations for the impending “hard†salary cap. Forget the perpetual challenges of venues, crowds, members. Of connecting the pyramid. Of all the worries in Australian footballâ€s future.

The A-League Men kicks off on Friday for its 21st season, and for the best 300 or so footballers in the country, nothing matters more than when the referee blows for kick-off. “Once the whistle goes, Iâ€m going to be doing what it takes to win the game,†says Kai Trewin, the player of the year at champions Melbourne City.

City travel to Western Sydney on Saturday to meet a Wanderers side injected during the off-season with proven A-Leagues talent including Kosta Barbarouses, Angus Thurgate and Steven Ugarkovic, who played alongside Trewin at City last year. “Theyâ€ve done some really good recruiting, and theyâ€re going to be a really strong team,†Trewin says.

The 24-year-old defender/midfielder secured his first call-up to the Socceroos last season in a breakout year that placed him firmly in contention for Tony Popovicâ€s squad for next yearâ€s World Cup. Trewinâ€s international aspirations – as well as those of his club-mate Aziz Behich and others such as Victory forward Nishan Velupillay – will form one of this seaonâ€s key storylines. “If youâ€re playing consistently here and playing really well, I donâ€t think [Popovic] will be scared to pick anyone out of A-Leagues,†Trewin says.

Winger Craig Goodwin hopes his return to Adelaide will remind Popovic of his quality. The 33-year-old had off-season foot surgery fixing a problem he had managed for the past five years and had required painkilling injections. “Itâ€s up to me to do the talking on the pitch, to provide the goals and assists for this Adelaide team to lead us to success in the early rounds, and hopefully I can be involved in the next squad,†the Reds captain said this week.

Adelaide United host the season opener on Friday night against Sydney FC. The Sky Blues have long been known as the leagueâ€s glamour club, but they lost some of their lustre last year when the five-time champions missed the finals for the first time in three years. The club have had to move home matches this season from Allianz stadium due to pitch reconstruction works, and are in a period of off-field transition following changes in head office.

Coach Ufuk Talay says the Sky Blues are “definitely†still the A-Leagueâ€s glamour club. “The board change, itâ€s been fantastic,†he says. “Itâ€s not just on the field with the players and the signings, but all the little stuff off the field that makes a massive difference as well.â€

Sydneyâ€s cross-town rivals the Wanderers have lost star Spanish import Juan Mata and the Johnny Warren medal winner Nicolas Milanovic, one of a crop of young attackers to have moved overseas including Adrian Segecic, Archie Goodwin, Noah Botic and Marco Tilio. Mata has headed south to Melbourne Victory, who reached the grand final last season after knocking out impressive debutants Auckland in the semi-finals.

The New Zealand club are expected to find it difficult to meet the APLâ€s planned hard cap of $3m next season due to the committed spending from an ownership group led by American Bill Foley. But they go into this campaign motivated to improve on their first year.

At the other end of last yearâ€s league table, wooden spooners Perth enter the season with some optimism, having signed championship-winning defender Brian Kaltak from the Central Coast Mariners as well as former Wales international Tom Lawrence. Second-from-bottom last season, Brisbane Roar pursued a different pre-season by taking the team to Solomon Islands and playing against the national team, tapping into the department of foreign affairs†Pacific sporting budget.

The Roar have enough to deal with at home, however, given the clubâ€s stadium conundrum, which chief operations officer, Zac Anderson, described as his biggest headache. Brisbane canâ€t access Suncorp stadium for much of the season due to concerts, and their frustrations were exacerbated when the draw had to be redone at the 11th hour after Western United pulled out.

The clubs, whose annual distributions were slashed to $530,000 last year, are eager to hear of the outcome of the APLâ€s negotiations with broadcasters, given the existing deal with Paramount and Channel 10 expires at the end of this season. But despite belt-tightening remaining a priority for clubs and the APL, the potential of the league remains compelling for many. The investment in Melbourne Victory by Tony Bloom, owner of English Premier League club Brighton, is set to bring about a new era for one of the A-Leagues†original clubs. At times during its 21 years, the promise of the ALM has overshadowed its present. But on Saturday night, there will be no fictional creatures running out on to the turf at AAMI Park.

Rather, there will be skilful fringe Socceroo Denis Genreau, a Victory signing brought back to Melbourne from Europe. Up against him will be Lachlan Brook, Aucklandâ€s promising winger back in the ALM after a stint in the US, and who was Western Sydneyâ€s top scorer in 2023-24. Heightened by the noise of Victoryâ€s passionate fans, there will be genuine rivalry, given what happened between the sides last season. And with World Cup aspirants having more motivation than ever, those present will know: the A-Leagues are back.

For the first time this season, Mark Broadie’s NCAA Division I golf rankings are out.

The anticipation lasted a little longer than expected, too, as only the first five men’s teams went live around 3 p.m. ET, with the rest likely filtering in once the servers recovered from what was surely an influx of anxious coaches, players and fans.

Debuting at Nos. 1 are the Utah men and Wake Forest women. While the Demon Deacons, perfect through two events (the Annika Intercollegiate and Jackson T. Stephens Cup), are no surprise, the Utes edged Virginia, Vanderbilt and Auburn for the top spot without winning a tournament.

Utah was second at The Tindall and third at The Wohali, perhaps proving that playing only events starting with a definite article is some sort of cheat code. But seriously, the job that head coach Garrett Clegg has done in nearly a decade at Utah is remarkable. The Utes have made NCAA regionals in four of the last five seasons, and in 2022, they advanced to the NCAA Championship for the first time in almost 35 years. Last year, they finished No. 17 in Broadie’s ranking, though they failed to qualify for the 30-team field at La Costa.

Utah’s Gabriel Palacios is the top-ranked individual in the national rankings while his teammate Davis Johnson is fifth. Virginia’s Ben James is second, less than 13 average points behind Palacios.

Virginia, last season’s national runner-up won at Colonial and was second at Chattanooga’s event at the Honors Course, but with a four-way tie for first at the Hogan and T-8 just six shots back, the Cavaliers only mustered 71.99 points for that co-title, about 10 fewer points than what they received for their runner-up.

Arkansas rounds out the top five in the men’s ranking, while New Mexico and BYU are two fresh faces inside the top 10 compared to previous seasons. Another mid-major, Charlotte, is No. 16, a spot ahead of defending national champion Oklahoma State, which won at Olympia Fields but finished T-10 at Notre Dame’s tournament without its two first-team All-Americans, Preston Stout and Ethan Fang.

On the women’s side, Wake Forest is clear of USC, Stanford, Oregon and Texas A&M. The Demon Deacons beat the Cardinal at the Stephens Cup, in both stroke play and match play. That’s Stanford’s only tournament of the fall so far, though it hosts its home event this week. There are few surprises in the top 20, though Pepperdine at No. 8 stands out, with the Waves posting a respectable seventh at Annika before finishing a distant runner-up to USC at the Golfweek Red Sky Classic.

Among the teams in the top 25, Oklahoma jumps out in a good way, as the Sooners hold the 19th spot, their best national ranking in a long time, thanks to three top-5s, albeit no wins.

Individually, the annual Blessings bump went to Mississippi State’s Avery Weed, who won the event and received 180.78 points, well over double what she got for a runner-up at the Carmel Cup at Pebble Beach. Weed is ranked No. 1 nationally over Arkansas’ Maria Jose Marin, who – you guessed it – was second at the Blessings.

As with any ranking, once there is more data, some of the head-scratching rankings should sort themselves out. And hopefully, after weeks of waiting, there will be weekly updates.

Let the rankings debates begin!

Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda and Hawi Feysa Gejia of Ethiopia are the 2025 Chicago Marathon champions in a race that also featured a new American record on the men’s side.

Kiplimo won the men’s competition with a time of two hours, two minutes and 23 seconds, which was enough to outpace fellow podium-finishers Amos Kipruto and Alex Masai.

Conner Mantz of the United States finished in fourth place and set the American record with a time of two hours, four minutes and 43 seconds.

As for the women’s competition, Feysa broke free in the latter portion of the race and cruised to a win.

Here is a look at the top finishers:

It seemed like Kiplimo would challenge for a world record since he was under pace for approximately 22 hours. He ultimately fell short of the 2:00:35 world record, which was set at the 2023 Chicago Marathon by Kelvin Kiptum.

However, this year’s victor still needed a strong finish to hold off Kipruto. That it was Kiplimo’s second career marathon made it all the more impressive.

As for Mantz, he broke Khalid Khannouchi’s American record of 2:05:38 from the 2002 London Marathon by nearly a full minute. Khannouchi was part of NBC Chicago’s coverage and joked with Mantz, “What took you so long?”

On the women’s side, Feysa added to her resume that also includes the 2025 Tokyo Marathon bronze medal. She seized control around the 18th mile and defeated Megertu Alemu by nearly three minutes.

The Chicago Marathon is always highly anticipated as one of the three World Marathon Majors in the United States, and this year was certainly no different.

Ashley Tysiac of Runner’s Worldcalled the men’s competition “one of the deepest fields” of the year with reigning champion John Korir returning to face a field that included half marathon world-record holder Kiplimo and Mantz.

It has also been just two years since Kiptum set the 2:00:35 world record in Chicago, and record watch is always an area of focus in the Windy City.

As for the women’s competition, Tysiac called it a “wide-open” field since reigning champion and world record-holder Ruth Chepngetich is suspended after a positive drug test. Tysiac highlighted Ethiopians Alemu and Feysa as candidates to take home the title.

That was quite a prediction considering they finished in first and second place.

All of the runners were facing a course that travels through some of Chicago’s most famous neighborhoods, including Lincoln Park, Old Town, Greek Town, Little Town and Chinatown. Much of the race runs parallel to Lake Michigan, and runners finished at Grant Park.

And nobody finished faster than Kiplimo for the men and Feysa for the women.

Luton, UK – On 20th September 2025,the Over 50s Black Men Forum (O5BM) proudly hosted UKâ€s First Older Black Men Community Table Tennis Competition, bringing together seven (7) of our community centres for a day of spirited competition and joyful connection.

Centres from Luton North, Luton South, Stevenage, Chelmsford, Grays, Thamesmead and Southend gathered in Luton to compete in both singles and doubles matches. The atmosphere was electric, filled with cheers, laughter, and a shared sense of pride.

Chelmsford triumphed in the singles contest and Luton claimed victory in the doubles match. The winning teams were proudly presented with trophies by the Mayor of Luton, Councillor Amy Nicholls, in a moment that crowned the dayâ€s achievements.

We were also delighted to welcome Chris Bryden, Area Manager for Table Tennis England, who attended to support and observe the tournament, adding a valued presence to the dayâ€s proceedings.

Team India (Pic credit: BCCI) DUBAI: Slow, lethal spin could well be the order of the day when India face Bangladesh in their second Super-4 clash on Wednesday. On paper, India are runaway favourites — 17 wins to Bangladesh’s solitary success tell the story. Add to that the ruthless way Suryakumar Yadav’s men dismantled opponents and the odds of a Bangladesh upset look slimmer than snowflakes in the Emirates.But cricket isn’t played on paper, and Phil Simmons wants his players to believe exactly that. The former West Indies batting allrounder and now Bangladesh head coach threw down the gauntlet on the eve of the clash.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!“Every team has the ability to beat India. The game is played on the day. It’s not what India did before — it’s what happens on Wednesday, during that three-and-a-half-hour period. We will try to play as best as we can and hope to force mistakes in India’s armoury. That’s the way we win games,†Simmons told reporters.Bangladesh though have a headache as their skipper Litton Das looks doubtful for the match as he suffered a sidestrain during training. They have not nominated a vicecaptain for the tournament.

Poll

Who do you think will win the Super-4 clash between India and Bangladesh?

Both teams come armed with quality slow bowling. India’s trio of Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, and Axar Patel will look to squeeze Bangladesh in the middle overs, while Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, and leggie Rishad Hossain — if picked — could be the Tigers’ trump cards.Interestingly, Bangladesh got the better of a strong Sri Lankan side by relying on their three quicks — Shoriful Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, and the wily Mustafizur Rahman.Mustafizur, with years of experience behind him, can control the game in the middle overs, as he showed against Sri Lanka. The leftarm seamer picked up a brilliant 4 for 20 in that match. Mahedi was the other standout performer, returning figures of 2 for 25.India might be winning — but they aren’t flawless. Their catching against Pakistan was all over the place, with four straightforward chances put down — lapses that could have been costly against a sharper opponent.

Suryakumar knows Bangladesh can’t be offered similar charity. “We have done a lot of fielding practice. It can’t be an excuse. If the catches are gone, they are gone. We go back to the drawing board, do a good session again, and then we come back and play the game,†Surya said after the Pakistan match.Another talking point is Jasprit Bumrah’s returns. The spearhead has leaked 33 runs from his third over across the last three games and went wicketless against Pakistan, conceding 45 from four overs — his third-most expensive T20I outing.Surya may have to rethink frontloading Bumrah’s overs, perhaps holding one back for the middle overs and one at the death. Surya, however, maintained that Bumrah is far from struggling. “Not really. He has played a lot of T20 cricket for India and in the IPL. He is experienced enough to understand what is needed from him. He is a good learner. When he is on the field, he is always active, always has that lovely body language, spreads that positive energy. That’s what we want — a senior bowler coming into such games and delivering for the side,†he said.If there is one area where India look near-invincible, it is their batting. Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill shredded Pakistan’s attack with a sterling 105-run opening stand, and the rest of the batting order has adapted well to the conditions.India will want to keep the momentum rolling as the tournament heads into its business end, while the Tigers come into the clash with their tails up. With the Dubai International Stadium pitch easing out and chasing sides enjoying success, expect fireworks under the lights — and a stern test of whether India can stay flawless when it matters most.
