3. Sod Poodles' Furious Late Comeback Falls Short in Frisco (newschannel10.com) — Frisco baseball fans saw the RoughRiders outlast the Amarillo Sod Poodles 12–9 at Riders Field after a huge eight-run fourth inning put the home team ahead for good. Amarillo mounted a late surge with home runs and clutch hits, but Frisco's early power and grand slam proved just enough to even the series.
4. Karmelo Anthony's Family Wants $250K From Fans to Fund Murder Conviction Appeal (globemagazine.com) — The family of Karmelo Anthony, convicted in the fatal 2025 stabbing of student Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet, is asking supporters to raise $250,000 for his appeal.
