1. Central Catholic football makes late stand, holds on for win over Easton at Cottingham (lehighvalleylive.com) — Easton's Red Rovers fell 14-13 at Cottingham Stadium after Allentown Central Catholic's defense stopped a late drive deep in Vikings territory. Despite 166 rushing yards from Jeffrey Thomas, penalties and a stalled final series hurt Easton, which now sits at 2-3 heading into Thursday's road game at Pocono Mountain East.
2. Lafayette College Civil War Memorial (wdiy.org) — High above downtown Easton on College Hill, Lafayette College's Civil War memorial quietly honors sixteen students who died fighting for the Union. Recent restoration and a new gateway trail now better connect this historic spot to the city below, inviting residents and visitors to walk up, read the names, and reflect on how the war touched Easton's own community.
3. Best colleges in Pennsylvania (tiogapublishing.com) — A new ranking of Pennsylvania's top four-year colleges includes a school based right in Easton, giving local students a strong option close to home. The list, drawn from Niche's 2027 data, highlights acceptance rates, SAT ranges, and overall grades to help families compare Easton's offering with other respected campuses statewide.
4. PALC 2026 lays out a statewide Latino agenda in Easton (impactomedia.com) — Easton just hosted the Pennsylvania Latino Convention, drawing students, professionals, and elected officials for three days of policy talks, cultural celebrations, and a statewide Latino agenda. Sessions at Easton City Hall and nearby venues tackled education, health, economic development, and civic engagement, while a Hispanic College Fair and 20 Under 40 honors highlighted emerging leaders shaping communities across Pennsylvania.
