Hey there sports fan,


It has been a flurry of activity in the local sports scene, and we kick off with two underrated volleyball stars looking to send their team to a battle for the title.


Chennie Tagaod and the FEU Lady Tamaraws are on a mission to break into the UAAP Finals, driven by grit and determination. Tagaod, who has steadily improved her game, emphasized the team's hunger to push past expectations and secure a spot in the championship round. 


FEU, after all, is the only team to have beaten the UST Tigresses in the current UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball tournament. The Tigresses have won four straight since losing to the Lady Tamaraws.


Meanwhile, in the PVL, Savi Davison is making waves with PLDT. The high-flying open spiker has been an integral part of the team's dominant campaign, and with the championship still in the realm of pissibility, she is set on delivering a title to her squad.


Over in basketball, history was made as LeBron James became the first player in NBA history to surpass 50,000 career points. The milestone cements James' legacy as one of the greatest to ever play the game. His latest feat came amidst a pivotal moment for the Los Angeles Lakers, who have been making headlines with their latest roster moves. The Lakers, who are still in championship contention, have seen a shift in momentum, and James has been relishing the recent trade involving Luka Dončić. According to reports, James is clearly reveling in how the move has strengthened their title hopes.


Speaking of the NBA, here's a trivie question: Since being drafted No. 3 overall by Philadelphia in 2014, what is the most number of games Joel Embiid has played in a regular season? Check out the answer at the end of this email.


Meanwhile, Filipino boxers have received a boost as the International Olympic Committee provisionally recognized World Boxing. The decision brings renewed optimism to the Philippines' boxing community, especially as athletes prepare for upcoming international competitions. With this recognition, Filipino pugilists are hopeful for better representation and opportunities on the global stage.


On the local basketball front, Caelan Tiongson made the most of his matchup against Rondae Hollis-Jefferson in Game 3 of the PBA semifinals. The versatile forward showcased his skills in a high-stakes game, proving that he can hold his own against top-tier competition. As the playoffs heat up, Tiongson’s performance could be a key factor in determining his team’s success.

Meanwhile on Plus...


For some, moving on from painfil losses is a tough thing to do. For Tim Cone, moving on from wins is just as difficult. And a semifinal hiccup proved him right.   


Meanwhile, Alan Frei talks about curling and its future after the country's historic gold in the Asian Winter Games. 


What we're up to next:


The knockout rounds are done and the PVL All-Filipino heads to its quarterfinal round with some surprising and intriguing matchups. We don't expect Barangay Ginebra to fumble in the semifinals anymore so we're focusing now on how the championship of the PBA Commissioner's Cup will shape up. And, of course, we will keep track of the UAAP women's volleyball tournament. 



Number of the Week: 4


Lakers players who have scored at least 30 points and dished off 15 assists in a single game: Jerry West, Magic Johnson, LeBron James and, the latest, Luka Doncic.
