📰 News we're reading
• Tuskegee Fort Valley State: Golden Tigers' Comeback (hbcubuzz.com) — Fort Valley fans saw a heartbreaker as Fort Valley State's 16-point fourth-quarter lead in the Port City Classic vanished in a 24–23 loss to Tuskegee, capped by a walk-off field goal. The Wildcats' run-heavy, conservative play-calling late and defensive breakdowns against deep passes turned a potential statement win for the Peach County program into a tough early-season setback.
