The unthinkable has happened: the Wallaceburg Lakers have won a game!

It has been more than a calendar year since they’re last win – but they’ll take it, beating Petrolia 4-2 on the road.

They had lost their first 29 games and only won 3 games total last season.

This weekend, Sarah Thomas will become the first woman to officiate an NFL playoff game. She’s on the crew that’s working Sunday’s divisional game between the L.A. Chargers and the New England Patriots.

Of course, Sarah isn’t new. The NFL hired her back in 2015. She was the league’s first full-time female official and before that she was the first woman to officiate a major college football game.

She’s the ‘Down Judge,’ which is just under the Head Referee and Umpire. Down judges manage the chains, set the line of scrimmage, mark the spot where the play ends, and make line-of-scrimmage calls like false starts and offsides.

She was the first woman to ever officiate a college football bowl game.

Then she became the NFL’s first full-time female official.

Just when parents thought the madness was over, Baby Shark has managed to work its way up the Billboard Hot 100 list.

Enough kids watched the video in the past week to place the song at number 32. That’s just three spots below Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.

The song became a pop culture fixture, with more than 2 billion views on YouTube.
