• Crosley-to-Hunt touchdown pass in game's final seconds lifts Fremont to narrow victory over Oakridge (localsportsjournal.com) — Fremont football fans saw a thriller as quarterback Brayden Crosley hit Aiden Hunt for a 22-yard touchdown with six seconds left, then ran in the two-point conversion to beat Oakridge 14–9. Crosley piled up big rushing yards and defensive stats, lifting the Packers to 5–1 as they head to Orchard View for another key conference matchup next Friday. 
• Better For Baby (blogspot.com) — A railroad modeler dug into Fremont’s history and found a 1936 postcard image of the Gerber factory that happens to show a rare Gerber-branded refrigerator car. Using the Fremont photo and archival data, they piece together details like paint schemes, roof color, and service dates to better model these short-lived billboard reefers.
