📰 News we're reading
• High school football: We predict the winners of every league in 2026 (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Fallbrook High's football team is picked to finish third in the Valley League this season, behind Rancho Buena Vista and Westview, according to these preseason rankings. The piece runs through every San Diego‑area league with predicted order of finish and MaxPreps ratings, giving Fallbrook fans a sense of how tough their schedule may be and where the Warriors stand competitively. 
• New Golden Pacific Powerlink Routes Draw East County Pushback (santeepulse.com) — A major new SDG&E transmission line could affect communities from Imperial County up through Temecula and Fallbrook, and local groups there are already voicing concerns about wildfire evacuation, views, parks, and property impacts. County supervisors are weighing the routes now, with construction not expected until the next decade, but the decisions will shape how North County and backcountry communities share the burdens of regional energy projects.
