📰 News we're reading
• Highland battles back for Friday win (morrowcountysentinel.com) — Mount Gilead football fans saw the Indians fall 21-12 at Fredericktown after a back-and-forth KMAC matchup where strong rushing couldn't overcome key red-zone mistakes. Despite standout ground games from Tyler Harr, Boe Sayers, and Grant LaRoche, a failed two-point try and missed chances inside Freddie territory proved costly, as the coach vows to clean up errors this week.
