• Week 6 high school football roundup: Norris picks up key victory over Seward, and more (klkntv.com) — Seward High’s football team fell 24-6 to Norris at Bulldog Stadium but will get a chance to rebound next Friday when they host Lincoln Pius X. The roundup also notes other Class B and Lincoln-area results, giving Seward fans context on district rivals and how upcoming opponents like Waverly and Pius X are performing.
   

• Historic rainfall swamps Lincoln, sets all-time daily record (1011now.com) — Seward County was in the bullseye of a historic rainstorm that dumped 4 to 8 inches from Hebron through Seward and Saline Counties into Lincoln, causing flooding concerns and poor rural road conditions. Residents should watch for flooded county roads, heed Flood Watches and Warnings, and expect cooler, drier weather to settle in through the weekend with little additional rain expected.
