Head into your weekend with the glass half full mentality.
At least you have something good to talk about,
The Last Night's Game Team
Women’s College World Series
What's everyone doing this weekend? Watching the Women's College World Series (WCWS), of course. In 2021, the WCWS outperformed the Men's College World Series in viewership by 60 percent, so expectations for this year's tournament are high. The eight best schools in the country are vying for a spot in the finals on June 8. Keep an eye on Oklahoma, which has absolutely dominated the scene this year. Then there's UCLA. UCLA boasts the most national championships of any university and is home to Maya Brady, niece of quarterback Tom Brady. TALENTED
Short and Sweet
According to Forbes, LeBron James is the first active NBA (National Basketball Association) player to become a billionaire. Michael Jordan is the only NBA player to claim that title - but it was 11 years after he retired.
The whole country is cheering on Team Ukraine, which is one win away from qualifying for the World Cup (soccer). They will face Wales on Sunday. No pressure.
The No. 13-ranked golfer, newlywed Dustin Johnson, has chosen the new Saudi-backed LIV Golf league over the PGA (Professional Golfers Association). Sponsors have already parted ways with him.
The Boston Celtics beat the Golden State Warriors at home in the first game of the NBA Finals.
Before We Go
Things are heating up at the French Open (tennis) ahead of this weekend's finals. The No. 1 player in the world, Iga Swiatek (Poland), is one win away from tying the win-streak record set by Venus Williams with 35 wins. She will face off against American Coco Gauff (No. 18), who just graduated high school last week. Yesterday after her win, Gauff used her platform for good, writing "Peace. End Gun Violence." on a camera lens. The two will play on Saturday morning. RISE AND SHINE
Sunday's men's final will feature the winner of today's matches between Alexander Zverev (No. 3) - Rafael Nadal (No. 5), and Casper Rudd (No. 8) - Marin Čilić (No. 20). GAME ON
