• Nebraska High School Volleyball Coaches Poll 9-28-26 (hurrdatsports.com) — Waverly's high school volleyball team is off to a strong start, earning the No. 2 spot in this week's Class B coaches poll with a 15-4 record. The statewide rankings highlight how Waverly stacks up against top programs like undefeated Norris and other contenders across Nebraska. Fans can track how the Vikings move in future polls as the season continues. 
• Recent rains raise concerns for southeast Nebraska farmers this harvest season (wowt.com) — Farmers near Waverly are struggling to start harvest as saturated fields and persistent September rains make it hard to move heavy equipment without getting stuck or damaging soil. Local producers say delays could cut yields and profits this fall, even as the extra moisture helps refill ponds and groundwater for next year. Drivers are urged to give farm equipment extra space on muddy rural roads.
