The wider Week Seven roundup tracks how other Pinellas County programs fared, including dominant wins by Pinellas Park and Calvary Christian and Clearwater Central Catholic's first loss.

• Family shares story behind resurfaced Dunedin memorial bench found in Bermuda (baynews9.com) — A memorial bench dedicated to a Dunedin man that was swept off the Dunedin Causeway during Hurricane Helene has astonishingly washed ashore in Bermuda. The family is weighing whether to visit it there or have it shipped back, but the city says its condition means it can't be reinstalled on the causeway. Locals may soon see a new plan for honoring him closer to home.
   

• Nicest Small Towns To Visit Near Tampa (worldatlas.com) — Dunedin gets a prime spotlight as one of the nicest small towns to visit near Tampa, praised for its walkable downtown, Scottish heritage, breweries, and easy access to Honeymoon Island State Park. The piece encourages day-trippers to stroll Main Street, sample local food and beer, and then escape to nearby beaches and nature trails.
