📰 News we're reading

• Patriots spoil Braves Homecoming (dailypress.net) — Gladstone football fans saw a tough homecoming as the Braves fell 20-0 to Ishpeming Westwood, struggling to capitalize on key second-half opportunities. Despite solid efforts from quarterback Landon Pepin and two-way standout Wyatt Forvilly, execution issues stalled drives. Gladstone, now 1-4, quickly turns its focus to hosting top-ranked Menominee this Friday.
